About Knowledge Network

We Inform and Inspire

Today, we have so many viewing choices with most forms of media driven by profit over public interest. In this crowded landscape, who can you trust?

British Columbia’s Knowledge Network is an independent provincial public educational broadcaster that operates a free and commercial-free television channel in B.C. and streaming services across Canada. We help to create informed communities by providing trusted programming that supports lifelong learning, presents diverse points of view and promotes culture, identity and inclusion from local and global perspectives. Informing and enlightening our audiences on the important issues of our time, Knowledge Network connects British Columbians to each other and the world.

Funded by an annual operating grant from the provincial government and donations from loyal viewers, Knowledge Network offers a diverse range of content including commercial-free documentaries, arts and culture, drama and children’s programs. Our passion for sharing stories that inform and inspire extends to B.C.'s independent production community through the commissioning of documentary programs.
