The Florida Knowledge Network® is the instructional television broadcast service of the Florida Department of Education. The Network is a partnership of the Department of Education, Florida school districts, and Florida public television stations. The Florida Knowledge Network® and its staff operate from the Turlington Building at 325 West Gaines Street in Tallahassee, FL.

Our Content

Educational Video programs that support Florida's K-12 curriculum and professional development programming for educators make up our primary content. School district representatives annually nominate and select instructional programming.

Our Broadcast

The Florida Knowledge Network® broadcasts on digital channel 801 of the Florida Satellite Transponder. The Transponder is located on satellite AMC-3, 87 degrees West, Ku transponder 18, vertical. The Department has provided and installed appropriate satellite reception equipment in every school district, community college, university and public television station to establish a network for statewide reception.

Programming is primarily distributed over digital multicast by Florida's public television stations. Broadcasts may also be received directly from satellite. Many districts and colleges redistribute programming on local cable and wireless public access channels.

For information on access to The Florida Knowledge Network® programming via your local public television station's digital broadcast, see the Channel Chart.
