Can you watch PBS online for free?

Many of PBS' shows are available to watch online for free via the PBS website. Popular programs, such as "Call the Midwife," "Antiques Roadshow," and "This Old House," are available to watch at any time. Live streaming of the PBS channel, however, is not available.

PBS offers hundreds of episodes of its most popular shows on the website. Episodes can be watched without logging in, but an account is necessary in order to access HD streaming. Accounts are free to create and offer users the ability to save their favorite shows to a Watch List for easy access. Not all episodes of every show are available; often, only the most recent episodes are available to watch.
