Louisiana Public Broadcasting (LPB) is a state network of PBS member stations serving the state of Louisiana. The stations are operated by the Louisiana Educational Television Authority. The network serves most of the state outside of Greater New Orleans: that market's PBS member station, WYES-TV is the only PBS station in Louisiana which is not associated with LPB; a noncommercial independent station in that market, WLAE-TV, is 50% owned by LPB and carries some of the state network's programming, primarily news and public affairs (though WLAE also carried select PBS programming until 2013).
