A Word From GPB President and Chief Revenue Officer Bert Wesley Huffman

Dear Friends,

Hello and Happy New Year! Welcome to what is hopefully a bountiful 2023. Our plans this year are the same as ever – to continue to provide you with quality, entertaining, educational and just plain good programming across all our platforms. Seems like January is always a time for us to tighten up the notches on our belts and put the indulgence of the holiday season behind us. Well, that’s fine in relation to food, but when it comes to GPB TV the offerings will be plentiful and bountiful!

Let’s start with the cover of this month’s GPB Next. It’s time for the return of the beloved MASTERPIECE drama All Creatures Great and Small. As we enter the third season of this program here in the United States it seems that interest for this show is at a fever pitch! I have so many of you reach out to me and tell me how much you love this program. Well, I assure you that you won’t be disappointed with what you see this season. And, if you just can’t get enough of All Creatures, considering joining us in October for GPB’s exclusive All Creatures Great and Small Tour of England. You can find out more about that at gpb.org/England. Also, on TV you’ll be treated to another season of Samantha Brown’s Places to Love (featuring a very special visit to Savannah), and season three of MASTERPIECE: Miss Scarlet and the Duke. And that’s just the beginning.

Outside of television, thumb through this issue of GPB Next for a write-up on GPB Education’s PBS Kids Writers Contest launching January 17, preview the relaunch of GPB News’ podcast GA Today, now featuring All Things Considered host Peter Biello and a special spotlight on NPR’s Books We Love.

All that and so much more await you this January at GPB. Thanks so much for your continued patronage, and as always thanks for the part you play in making GPB’s programming, news, educational endeavors and vital community resources a success for all of Georgia!

Warmest regards,

Bert Wesley Huffman GPB President and Chief Revenue Officer
