Smoky Hills PBS

Smoky Hills PBS (formerly Smoky Hills Public Television) is a regional network of Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member television stations serving central and western portions of the U.S. state of Kansas.

Most viewers watch Smoky Hills PBS's programming through cable, which is all but essential for acceptable television in most of this vast area due to its hilly terrain.

The network also holds broadcast rights to the Miss Southwest Kansas Pageant as well as several Kansas high school athletic championship events sanctioned by the Kansas State High School Activities Association (including the Eight-Man Division 1 and 2 Football Championship games, Class 3-2-1A state wrestling tournament and the Class 1A girls' and boys' basketball tournament championship games).

Notes: Until 2009, Smoky Hills Public Television also relayed its signal on seven low-power translator stations: The Hoxie translator was owned by the government of Sheridan County, the others were owned by the Smoky Hills Public Television Corporation.

The digital channels of each of the Smoky Hills PBS stations are multiplexed: Although the DTV Delay Act extended the mandatory deadline to June 12, 2009, Smoky Hills Public Television shut down the analog signals of two of its stations as originally scheduled on February 17, 2009, the original date on which full-power television stations in the United States were scheduled to transition from analog to digital broadcasts.
