A NOTE FROM SYLVIA June is here and the sights, smells and sounds of summer are in the air: birds chirping away on the Cannon Valley Rail Trail, the smell of brats sizzling away on my husband’s old-fashioned Weber grill, and new vegetable shoots poking up in my backyard garden. I am also thrilled to share with you some fascinating programming highlights that just might rival our wonderful summers. Masterpiece Mystery fans will rejoice with the return of the whodunit series, Grantchester , premiering on June 16 at 8 p.m. on TPT 2. Join us as we delve into the seemingly quiet 1950s Cambridgeshire village of Grantchester, where murder, mystery and mayhem lurk beneath the surface, and a detective-vicar duo is always on the case. Rumor has it that we will also be introduced to a new vicar in this new season. In celebration of Pride Month this June, we invite you to join us for Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution , a captivating three-part series that delves into the story of disco — from its humble beginnings in the basement bars of 1970s New York City to its meteoric rise on the global charts. Through iconic tracks and remarkable footage, this series offers a powerful, revisionist history of the disco age, exploring its impact and legacy in ways you've never seen before. Tune in on Tuesday, June 18 at 8 p.m. on TPT 2 for a journey through the music that defined a generation. And mark your calendars for June 19, when we premiere Hope in the Water , a three-part docuseries from James Beard Award-winning local chef, Andrew Zimmern. Follow along as the series travels the globe to discover innovative solutions and breakthrough blue food technologies that not only nourish us, but also help preserve our threatened seas and fresh waterways. From aquafarmers to fishers, this series showcases the inspiring stories of individuals working toward a sustainable future for our planet. None of this would be possible without the generous support of our members. Thank you for joining us on this journey, and we look forward to sharing these incredible stories with you this June and beyond.
