P

art adventure, part history lesson, part treasure hunt, 19-time Emmy nominated Antiques Roadshow began its 25th broadcast season this year and remains the highest-rated ongoing primetime PBS series.

Premieres Monday, November 1, 9 PM Head, shoulders, knees and Roadshow! Give a big hand to this eye-catching collection of standouts from our body of work, including a Willie Sutton prison-escape head and hand, an over-the-shoulder saxhorn and a Victorian puffy heart charm necklace.

FUN FACTS

FOR THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON Around 1.4 million appraisals have been done at Antiques Roadshow production events since the show’s first Tour in 1996.

Appraisers on Antiques Roadshow are volunteers who generously pay their own travel expenses and donate their time and expertise to be a part of the show.

Antiques Roadshow expert John Buxton is well-known among fans for identifying fakes and using those appraisal moments as teaching opportunities to help fans better understand these objects.

The most valuable Antiques Roadshow sports memorabilia was appraised

by Leila Dunbar who gave a $1,000,000 value for an 1871-1872 Boston Red Stockings archive (featuring photographic baseball cards and player letters) brought to the New York City Roadshow in 2014.

Expert Lark Mason, who has appeared on Antiques Roadshow since season one, holds the distinction of being the only appraiser brought to tears by the magnificence and rarity of the item being appraised: a Tang dynasty marble lion.

Feast your eyes on a rainbow of Roadshow’s most colorful treasures including a 1967 Alexander Calder “Concentric” painting, a blue opaline snake paperweight made around 1850 and a Robert Ridgway “Color Standards” book.

GPB Donor Annual Report 2021 Dear Friends,

Simply said, we are thankful for you. In fact, at GPB thankfulness isn’t reserved exclusively for the fourth Thursday in November. At the heart of everything we do remains a sacred bond between our company and the thousands of donors who give what they can to ensure our progress. I often say that public media pioneered the concept of crowdfunding. From the beginning the literal existence of this educational, enriching and often life-changing content has been ensured by the individuals that consume it. That includes you!

It is that spirit of thankfulness that led us to include our annual report in this issue of GPB Next. Contained within the pages of this magazine are the names of hundreds of individuals who give at w levels to ensure that GPB can continue to serve all of us — regardless of whether we can give or not. For each of those names there are countless others around the state of Georgia who give at levels that fit into their personal budgets — often five, ten or fifteen dollars a month. And without the combined efforts of everyone who participates, we would never be able to invest so richly in the communities we serve across the state.

Whether you support GPB because you trust us with your children through hours of daily educational programming; because you trust us as your source for unbiased, thoughtful and thorough news coverage; or because you trust us to teach you about wide-ranging subjects from the indigenous species of Georgia to the outer rings of the most distant solar system, one word ties it all together. Trust. And we trust you too.

So please hear this — your gift, regardless of size, is a fundamental building block to far more than just the success of GPB — it is an investment in democracy, in compassion, in diversity and in unique educational storytelling for lifelong learners. Thank you.

Beyond our annual report, GPB Next has its usual job to do in informing you about upcoming moments of note on television, radio, the web and in the community. So let’s start with the cover! This month we’ll commemorate 25 years of Antiques Roadshow with the themed specials “Body of Work,” “True Colors” and “Best of 25.” If you’re a fan of Antiques Roadshow, like SO many, come experience the nostalgia with us. Also on GPB TV, don’t miss the premiere of the GPB Original Your Fantastic Mind for its third season opener “Love and Motherhood.” Poignant conversations from POV, Independent Lens and Nature round out some very interesting national options. And, once again GPB is partnering with the Georgia High School Sports Association to bring you this year’s high school football playoffs live beginning November 12 at 7:30 pm.

As always, your friends at GPB remain thankful for your support. Look at all we can accomplish together!

Warmly,

Speaking of books, GPB also featured PBS programming about two of America’s most fascinating literary icons. American Masters: Flannery, captured the life of Georgia native Flannery O’Connor, who penned such tales as “Good Country People” and “Everything That Rises Must Converge” and is considered one of the greatest short story writers of the 20th century. Hemingway, a six-hour documentary series from acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns, focused on the life of Ernest Hemingway, whose works include The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms.

GPB EXTRA CHARLIE BROWN AND THE PEANUTS GANG ARE HERE FOR THE HOLIDAYS

R

elive your childhood or introduce a special little one in your life to Charlie

A CHARLIE BROWN THANKSGIVING SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21 - 7:30 PM First up this month, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving airs Sunday, November 21 at 7:30 p.m. Peppermint Patty invites everyone to Charlie Brown’s for Thanksgiving, even though he’s going to see his grandmother.

At that point, Snoopy decides to cook his own version of a Thanksgiving meal with help from his friends.

Brown and the Peanuts gang as they return to GPB for the holiday season with classic specials airing ad-free on PBS and PBS Kids as part of an

agreement with Apple TV+.

“We are delighted to bring the joy of these holiday classics to families across the country, in partnership with our member stations,” said Paula Kerger, President and CEO of PBS. “During these challenging times, public television continues to be a free and easily accessible source of comfort, inspiration and education for millions of Americans.”

A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 19 - 7:30 PM Next up, A Charlie Brown Christmas airs Sunday, December 19, at 7:30 p.m.

Feeling down about the commercialism of Christmas, Charlie Brown becomes the director of the gang’s holiday play. Can he overcome his friends’ preference for dancing over acting, find the “perfect” tree and discover the true meaning of Christmas?

Be sure to tune in and celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas as only the Peanuts friends can!
