Friends of South Dakota Public Broadcasting provides support to South Dakota Public Broadcasting (SDPB), which is a statewide source for over-the-air, commercial-free, educational programming for all ages. SDPB is South Dakotans' most reliable, accessible, and extensive multiplatform resource for access to the South Dakota State Legislature, including live feeds, daily reports, and broadcasts from the Capital. SDPB is the state's major broadcaster of South Dakota High School tournaments and events featuring high school student athletes and achievers. SDPB is a significant source of local, in-depth documentaries and history providers and is the sole provider of over-the-air TV for South Dakota's most remote and rural areas. SDPB is the statewide Emergency Alert System information provider, alerting South Dakotans to Amber Alerts, Blue Alerts and Silver Alerts, and in the event of natural or man-made disasters. It is also the statewide source for all-ages programming about the living culture, history, and current issues of the Oceti Sakowin, comprised of South Dakota's nine Native American Tribes.
