A service of PBS KVIE, the region’s most trusted source of news and information. We spent months listening to our community to discover what was missing from the local media landscape, and the message was clear: you want news and information that is free, nonpartisan and cuts through the noise.
Abridged is rooted in Sacramento, and our mission is to empower, inform and connect residents of the four-county region by producing unbiased news, events and stories that help you live your best life, better understand the world around you and play an active role in the decisions shaping our collective future.
