A NOTE FROM SYLVIA
January is a time of reflection, change, and new beginnings. This is also true at TPT.
Each January, TPT releases its Report to Community, a narrative that tells the story of the community impact of our work from the previous year. The report gives us an opportunity to reflect on how we have met our mission to “enrich lives and strengthen our community through the power of media.” You make this work possible. I invite you to read the report at tpt.org/report22 . January 2 will bring a change to our programming schedule. To better serve our viewers, we will begin offering general audience programming in the afternoons on TPT 2. Children’s programming will still be available 24/7 on PBS Kids, and some favorites — such as Antiques Roadshow and BBC News America — will now air in the afternoons on TPT 2. You can learn more about the changes at tpt.org/schedulechanges . There are many beginnings around the station in January. Legislative coverage begins on TPT MN on January 3. You will find new seasons of Miss Scarlet and the Duke and All Creatures Great and Small premiering January 8 on TPT 2. We will also be releasing Jim Crow of the North Stories , a digital-first series based on the Emmy Award-winning documentary, Jim Crow of the North . Episodes will be available for streaming on the PBS Video App, with a special preview for members beginning January 9 and a wider launch on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on January 16. Hosted by historian Acoma Gaither, the series explores themes of systemic, interpersonal, and institutional racism and its impact on Minnesotans.
I am grateful for your support of TPT and the communities we serve. May your year be filled with inspiration, joy, and community.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Strobel President and CEO, Twin Cities PBS
