KLPT

KLPT-TV is a Public television station in Alpine, Texas, broadcasting locally on digital channel 37 (virtual channel 24) as a PBS member station. The digital sub-channels are PBS HD, PBS SD, and World. The station is owned by the Independent School Districts of Brewster County and operated by Big Bend Broadcasting Partners, Inc., a joint consortium between the Tri-County Commission for Education (composed of Alpine, Fort Davis, Marathon, Marfa, Presidio, San Vicente, Terlingua and Valentine Independent School Districts) and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). The station has studios located in downtown Alpine, near the Brewster County Courthouse. It carried its share of PBS, World and Create programs until 2010, when all PBS programming are handed to KBPT. KLPT and KDVS carried programs from both World and Create, respectively as a result of the switch.
