Thanks to Legacy funding, Pioneer PBS can lift the voices of the region we serve into the media landscape. We tell rural and small town western and southwestern Minnesota stories that showcase rural artists, tribal members, small town business owners, veterans, regional histories, and more. Seventeen of these stories have received Upper Midwest Regional Emmy ® Award nominations. The Pioneer PBS broadcast signal reaches 26 Minnesota counties, where residents can receive our programming for free with an antenna or via streaming.
