LAKELAND PBS | BEMIDJI/BRAINERD COMMON GROUND SEASON 1300 PREMIERE: Thursday, October 28, 2021
15 30-minute weekly episodes, Thursdays @ 19:00
DESCRIPTION: Common Ground explores the unique people, places and events that surround us here in north central Minnesota. Each week, we take viewers on a journey of exploration into the diverse art, cultures and history that help to shape and define our communities. IMPACT: Common Ground fulfills the goals of Legacy funding by informing, educating, and enlightening the citizens of north central Minnesota by exposing them to artists, organizations, and events they might not otherwise be familiar with. Many of the subjects featured over the years have noted that the exposure gained through the broadcasts have resulted in increased sales of their work, or attendance at organized events. Our work highlighting different cultures throughout the region has brought about a new understanding and compassion among viewers, who now have a better understanding of their own neighbors. Common Ground is definitely my favorite and I always look forward to new episodes. So great for our whole family to learn all of the different crafts in our region. Love love love this show and it is so well done. - MPTA Legacy survey participant DISTRIBUTION: Broadcast, lptv.org, YouTube, PBS app, social media Total broadcast hours: 275.79 hours (322 airings on L-Prime & L-Plus, and 269 airings on L-MN Channel)
