KERA-TV is a PBS member television station serving the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex on channel 13. KERA TV produces original content in North Texas, and carries national and international public television programming. As a member-supported, not-for-profit public television station, KERA's mission is to serve North Texans through public television and multimedia resources that educate, inspire, enrich, inform and entertain. KERA TV is among the top three most-watched public television stations for children's programming. KERA TV produces the original show CEO with Lee Cullum and has produced many other programs that have been distributed statewide and nationally.

KERA TV includes two additional channels. KERA Kids children's programming on channel 13.2.KERA Create features the best of public television's crafts, cooking and do-it-yourself programs on channel 13.3.

KERA TV shares its call letters and offices with NPR member station KERA (90.1 FM). While there is cross-promotion between the two stations, each operates their own pledge drives.

KERA has long contributed original programming to the nationwide PBS system, including documentaries such as JFK: Breaking the News and the national Emmy Award-nominated Matisse and Picasso. KERA also produced the PBS documentary series The U.S. - Mexican War, which aired between 1995 and 2006. Other programs that have been distributed statewide and nationally include The Texas Debates, CEO and The Can Cliburn: 50 Years of Gold.

CEO with Lee Cullum features interviews with chief executives from the corporate and not-for-profit sectors. The show explores what it takes to make a company successful in today's global marketplace, asking questions about leadership style and ethics. This original monthly series of interviews with North Texas business leaders airs on both KERA TV and KERA FM.

Frame of Mind offers a collection of locally produced films, documentaries and video shorts in a series showcasing Texas-made, independent films. Frame of Mind is a co-production of KERA's Art&Seek and the Video Association of Dallas.
