Based on the purpose of contact there are various ways to contact PBS. One of them is via the following PBS customer service phone number: (703) 739-5000. It will connect you to a PBS support agent who will assist you with general issues and questions. When it comes to tech support, the PBS phone number for this purpose is (844) 325- 8828. It can be helpful in the case of streaming PBS or the PBS Passport benefit. If consumers have a comment regarding a specific program or want to contact the producers of a certain program, they need to visit the Contact Page on the official website.

Similar to their phone numbers, you can write to PBS depending on your query. Generally, PBS email address is viewer@pbs.org, where you can write to them regarding programming, donations, etc. Due to the incredible volume of correspondence they receive prevents them from responding to every message, but every correspondence they receive is taken into consideration, especially when they want to measure programs' performance and viewers' comments on them. Consumers can also use this website to send tickets to PBS customer service. Remember that you can use the program's dedicated page if you want to contact the producers regarding a certain program. If you wish to contact a certain station, go to this website, search your local station by Zip code or state, and then contact them.

PBS has two main addresses the company’s clients should know. The PBS headquarters address is 2100 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 22202, United States. When it comes to this location, it works as the main address for all its corporate operations and administrative activities. If one wants to support PBS by donating to the PBS Foundation, they also present such an opportunity. A gift to the Foundation supports PBS nationwide. The Public Broadcasting Service address of the foundation is PBS FOUNDATION, 1225 South Clark Street, Arlington, VA 22202.

The PBS headquarters working hours vary depending on the department you are appealing to. The PBS contact hours for the main office are generally from Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST, where you can reach customer care. Regarding the technical support team's hours of operation, they are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday. If all staff members are busy, you can leave a voice message for their team, and one of their agents will contact you later.
