KEET PBS demonstrates how modern cloud-based operations can reduce costs, eliminate aging infrastructure, strengthen resiliency, and simplify station operations for the future.
BOSTON, MA (September 16, 2026) — Public Media Management (PMM) today announced the successful summer deployment of PMM Cloud, its modern cloud-based master control solution, at KEET PBS. The station transitioned to PMM Cloud over the summer and is now successfully operating on the platform, marking an important milestone in PMM's continued expansion of cloud-based broadcast operations for public media.
Built on proven, broadcast-grade cloud infrastructure from LTN Global, PMM Cloud combines more than a decade of PMM's experience managing master control operations for public media with technology that has a long track record supporting major media networks. PMM customized the platform to address the unique operational workflows, technical requirements, and budget considerations of public television stations, creating a fully managed, resilient, and scalable cloud-based master control solution.
KEET PBS is successfully operating on PMM Cloud, demonstrating how public television stations can transition from aging, capital-intensive master control infrastructure to a modern cloud-based operating model that reduces technical complexity, strengthens operational resiliency, and lowers long-term operating costs. The transition eliminated the need to replace aging master control equipment and significantly reduced the number of systems requiring local maintenance, allowing station staff to focus more time on supporting KEET's mission and serving its local viewers and the community.
"For more than 10 years, PMM has partnered with public media stations to provide reliable, mission-critical broadcast operations. PMM Cloud represents the next evolution of those services, combining the operational expertise we've developed over the past decade with the flexibility and resiliency of cloud-based infrastructure. KEET's successful implementation demonstrates how stations can modernize operations, reduce technical complexity, and lower long-term operating costs while continuing to deliver exceptional service to their communities."
— Marc Hand, CEO, Public Media Management
Unlike traditional master control environments that require significant capital investment, hardware refreshes, and ongoing maintenance, PMM Cloud provides geographically redundant infrastructure, integrated disaster recovery capabilities, 24/7/365 monitoring through PMM's Network Operations Center as well as LTN's NOC and predictable operating costs. By eliminating the burden of maintaining aging broadcast infrastructure, stations can redirect resources toward strategic initiatives while ensuring dependable on-air operations.
For KEET PBS, the transition has modernized station operations while significantly simplifying the station's technical environment.
"We are excited about PMM Cloud. This transition has modernized our operations and dramatically reduced the engineering burden on our internal team. PMM Cloud offers the best of both worlds — a fully managed, turnkey master control solution supported by the PMM NOC, while still allowing us to maintain local operational control whenever needed. It is exciting to see a station our size be able to access this level of technology and operational support in a cost-effective and sustainable way."
— Amy Stem-Faulk, General Manager, KEET PBS
Built on LTN's nationally distributed IP network and cloud-based broadcast infrastructure, PMM Cloud combines the flexibility of cloud operations with the reliability and resiliency required for mission-critical television workflows.
"We are proud to partner with PMM in supporting public media stations with reliable, scalable broadcast infrastructure built for the evolving needs of broadcasters. Public media stations are facing increasing pressure to modernize operations while managing costs and maintaining the reliability their communities depend on. By combining PMM's deep expertise in public media operations with LTN's managed IP network and cloud-based broadcast infrastructure, PMM Cloud gives stations a practical path forward. KEET PBS demonstrates how broadcasters can reduce technical complexity, improve operational resiliency, and confidently transition to a more sustainable operating model without compromising service to their viewers."
— Bryan McGuirk, Chief Revenue Officer, LTN
In addition to PMM Cloud services, KEET PBS also utilizes comprehensive transmission monitoring, maintenance, and infrastructure support services provided by Transmission Services Group, LLC, powered by HC Jeffries Tower Company (TSG), creating an integrated operational model that further streamlines station operations and supports long-term sustainability.
As public television stations continue to seek cost-effective, resilient, and future-ready broadcast operations, PMM is actively expanding the deployment of PMM Cloud. Following the successful implementation at KEET PBS, PMM is working with additional public media stations as they transition to cloud-based master control. Additional implementations are planned throughout the remainder of 2026 as PMM continues helping public media organizations modernize their operations while reducing technical complexity, lowering infrastructure costs, and improving operational resiliency.
