Purpose-Built for Public Media. Proven by Stations Like Yours.
Public Media Management (PMM) is a hybrid cloud-based master control solution developed by public media professionals for public media stations
PMM empowers local stations to maintain full control of their branding, scheduling, and on-site systems—while benefiting from the reliability, security, and cost-efficiency of shared infrastructure and fully staffed 365/24/7 expert monitoring and support.

With PMM, local operation is strengthened by fully staffed support 365/24/7 and state of the art technology —so your station can focus on what matters most: serving your community and mission.
“The PMM design offered the perfect balance of 24/7 support, cloud-based flexibility, and the ability to manage our own operations—both on-site and remotely. With PMM, we found an agile partner who could meet the changing needs of a local station in a rapidly evolving media landscape.”
