Minot area will experience outages A nationwide “spectrum repack” requires Prairie Public to remove and rebuild its tower that serves the Minot area, and that will mean television and radio broadcast outages this fall. Households that receive Prairie Public’s television signal via cable will not be affected; however, households that use rooftop antennas will. Radio listeners will notice outages, but can access Prairie Public via our online stream or app. Thank you for your patience as we rebuild as quickly and safely as possible.

As The Great American Read launches its multipart television series, Prairie Public and our PBS Digital Innovator All-Star, North Dakota third-grade teacher Kayla Delzer (pictured here), will be part of a Virtual Professional Learning Series for teachers. The series will connect educators nationwide with strategies to help excite students to read, engage in the writing process, and inspire action by speaking and listening. K-12 educators are encouraged to inquire with Prairie Public’s education services staff about specifics.
WE ASKED: WHY DO YOU SUPPORT PRAIRIE PUBLIC? Andrew Brown grew up watching Sesame Street, and he remembers both of his grandmothers watching Prairie Public. Today, Andrew and his wife Amy turn on Prairie Public’s educational television programming for their daughter to watch, and they tune to Prairie Public’s radio network for news. “The reporting from NPR and Prairie Public are much more in depth. So you not only know what’s happening but you also know the why it’s happening and what it will impact,” Andrew explained. “It’s something that Andrew and I share together,” said Amy “We enjoy listening to the stories and then discussing them. I want Prairie Public’s mission and programming to continue.” The Browns depend on Prairie Public, and they decided giving to Prairie Public’s endowment is the right thing to do. “There really isn’t another media source like it. If we want them to continue we have to be willing to support it.” Join the Browns and make an investment into the future of Prairie Public.
