About Us
KPST carries four digital channels viewed in the Pacific Northwest. We offer diverse programming for the English, Hispanic, Chinese, and Korean communities.
KPST has been located in Seattle and Redmond, WA, since 1991. We are a full power, local Seattle station with "must carry" and retransmission consent agreements by local cable and satellite (DBS) providers. For years, our signal has been transmitted over the air via an analog signal on channel 45 and our broadcast tower is located on Tiger Mountain. More recently, during the television broadcast transition from analog to digital, KPST dropped its analog signal in favor of the higher-quality digital broadcast signals. Cable and Satellite companies continue to carry the station’s high quality, digital signals.
Our mission is to bring to our multicultural audience the best entertainment and informational programming available using the highest standards in quality, creativity, and social responsibility. We are fully committed to providing our audience, clients, and shareholders a good return on their investment of time and resources.
Our vision is to be a multicultural, informational, and entertaining leader in the Pacific Northwest. At KPST we are proud to transmit programming in different languages, thereby satisfying our viewer’s interests. Our high-quality programming ranges from local newscasts and interview magazine-style shows to entertainment broadcasts such as soap operas, comedy shows, and musical concerts.
We are the first over-the-air television station to provide Washington state with four quality digital channels carrying programming in Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Korean. Along with our English language station we offer a variety of multicultural programming. These channels reach over 1.2 million homes in the area on cable, DBS, and over-the-air viewers.
