Legacy funding empowers PBS North to achieve our mission to illuminate, inspire, and enrich lives to strengthen community. This funding allows us the opportunity to share stories of our friends and neighbors from across the region, from diverse backgrounds and experiences, to create a sense of unity. The programs we created this year showcase stories of family, culture, food, history, fun, and more – providing a value and a connection that our viewers can’t find anywhere else.
