Public Broadcasting Services Limited (PBS) is Malta's public broadcasting company, responsible for the TVM television channel and the Radio Malta and Radju Parlament(106.6FM) and Magic (91.7FM) radio stations.

PBS Ltd's funding is made up from the levying of a television licence fee (about two-thirds) and television commercials (about one-third) [1].

In 1975 PBS (formerly Xandir Malta (XM)) became joint member of the European Broadcasting Union together with the Maltese Broadcasting Authority (MBA). The latter was admitted as a full active member already in 1969. Since 2003 PBS is the sole Maltese member of EBU.
