Dear Member,
I hope this letter finds you well and enjoying the beautiful fall weather. It’s been a busy time for your public television stations; thank you to all who participated in our CET Action Auction – donors, volunteers, sponsors and bidders – who helped to make this a remarkably successful fundraising event.
ThinkTV and CET’s education departments continue work on professional development training for educators, Ohio Learns 360 workshops, and our podcast, For the Love of EdTech
Our content team created new YouTube shorts from our ongoing series, including Hobby Hunting and The Baking Journal, alongside regular episodes. Visit our YouTube channels to view these shorts and much more.
The development staff is busy preparing for a visit from PBS personality and travel writer, Rick Steves. Mr. Steves will speak in both Dayton and Cincinnati at the end of November. Check out the Station News section of this magazine for more information.
Now let’s talk about programming. A new documentary from Ken Burns premieres on October 16th; American Buffalo tells the 10,000-year-old history of bison in North America. It traces the species’ relationship with Indigenous people and Europeans, its near extinction to fewer than 1,000 and its return from the brink of demise.

The second season of Native America returns this month with four new Native-directed episodes that reveal the beauty and power of today’s Indigenous communities. World on Fire, the World War II drama from Masterpiece, returns for Season 2 and opens in 1941 with the blitz in the Northwest of England. And Hotel Portofino returns for a second season and follows the Ainsworth family as they run a hotel for upper-class travelers on the Italian Riviera in the Roaring ‘20s.
From community fundraising events to educational projects to local productions and PBS programming – it’s all possible because of members like you. Thank you for your support – it truly makes a difference.

Two Membership Specials Coming in October
New Divas: Live in Vienna
Sunday, October 29, at 6:30pm on CET
Taped at the Konzerthaus in Vienna in June 2023, this new concert special features five captivating and talented young singers from around the world: Juliana Grigoryan from Armenia, Lily Kerhoas from France, Larisa Martinez from Puerto Rico, Serena Sáenz from Spain, and Sheléa from the United States. The conductor is Beatrice Venezi, who leads the Vienna Opera Ball Orchestra while Grammy Award-winning Musical Director Greg Phillinganes accompanies the singers on keyboard for the jazz and pop songs. The repertoire includes classical, jazz, pop, opera and musical theatre selections performed by the Divas as solo and group pieces. We will have special thank you gifts for this program, but we don’t have the details yet!
The American Buffalo Marathon
Sunday, October 22, from 1pm to 6pm on ThinkTV16 and CET
The American Buffalo is the biography of an improbable, shaggy beast that has found itself at the center of many of the country’s most mythic and heartbreaking tales. The two-part series, which has been in production for four years, will take viewers on a journey through more than 10,000 years of North American history and across some of the continent’s most iconic landscapes, tracing the mammal’s evolution, its significance to the Great Plains and, most importantly, its relationship to the Indigenous People of North America. Tune in for your chance to receive the American Buffalo Collection: 2-DVD set, hardback book, Pendleton National Park Coffee Mug, and The American Buffalo soundtrack CD.
