Letter from Sylvia Strobel

3 Year in Review

Twin Cities PBS (TPT) is an audience-first organization. This means our programming is responsive to our community—you, our viewers— and what you need and want. The last few years have been challenging on many levels, and we heard you ask for hope, connection, creativity, and trust. That is what your support helped us deliver this year. At TPT, it was a year to inspire, build, and create. As you read through these pages, you will see that we continue to focus on what you care about most: education, information, history, arts, and culture programming. Yet, we have a tradition of innovation and experimentation. We tell stories differently. We deliver programs across many platforms—not just broadcast. We feature new collaborations and deepen engagement with longstanding partners. We bring our communities’ stories and talents to the national stage. As we look toward the future, we will continue to provide the high- quality programming our viewers expect from us. We will do this while educating, entertaining, and telling stories that matter—and are accessible to all. It is our privilege to serve the community we call home, and we hope you will share with us what resonates with you. We are here with you, for you, and because of you. Thank you for your support!
