KERA-TV, virtual channel 13 ( UHF digital channel 14), is a PBS member television station serving the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex that is licensed to Dallas. It is owned by North Texas Public Broadcasting Inc. It maintains offices located on Harry Hines Boulevard (east-northeast of I-35E) in downtown Dallas, and its transmitter is located south of Belt Line Road in Cedar Hill.
The station's signal is relayed on low-power translator station K44GS-D in Wichita Falls, which provides PBS programming to the Texas side of the Wichita Falls– Lawton market. KERA-TV also serves as the default PBS station for the Abilene, San Angelo and Tyler/ Longview/ Lufkin/ Nacogdoches markets, as well as the Texas side of the Sherman/ Ada market; none of these areas have PBS members of their own. It is also available on cable in Hillsboro, Waco and Texarkana. It was formerly carried on cable in Amarillo, until PBS station KACV-TV signed on in that market in 1988.
The station's call letters, which are said to represent a "new era in broadcasting", are shared with NPR member station KERA (90.1 FM); while there is cross-promotion between the two, each operates their own pledge drives.
