KUSM channel 9, known on-air as Montana PBS, is a PBS station that is based at Montana State University in Bozeman. The station's facilities are in the Visual Communications Building on campus. Programming can also be seen on KUFM-TV, channel 11 in Missoula, located at the University of Montana-Missoula, and on a network of 60 low-powered repeaters in Montana, plus statewide cable coverage.

Due to a strong program for documentary filmmaking at MSU, many programs broadcast on KUSM are locally produced.

Some of the Montana-made programming is now available as a video podcast through a new distribution service called Terra.

KUSM signed on for the first time on October 1, 1984, making Montana the last state to have its own PBS station. Since MSU didn't have enough funding at the time to support a public television station, KUSM largely repeated the signal of KUED in Salt Lake City until 1987. KUFM took to the air on October 9, 1992. UM and MSU joined forces to form Montana PBS, which broadcast for the first time as a network on New Year's Day 1997.
