Public Hearings

The KCTS Television Board of Directors and staff have been working to make station operations more transparent and increase accountability to the community. Toward that end, we have created a process inviting the public to comment on major administrative policies that will guide our business and operations decisions.

The KCTS Television Board of Directors formalized this process by passing a policy directing the process at its regular quarterly meeting on February 9, 2005. If you have any questions about KCTS 9 policies or this process, please contact us at start@KCTS9.org.

The KCTS Television Board reviews policies under consideration at its regular quarterly meetings which are also open to the public.
