March: Together, we launched NextGen TV Broadcasting—a pilot initiative to improve quality and access to our broadcast channels and enhanced emergency alerts across the state. April: Opioids: State of Recovery premiered, aimed at removing the stigma of recovery and you helped viewers learn to affect positive change amidst the opioid epidemic. May: You met our Neighbor by Neighbor fundraising campaign with generosity, supporting PBS NC’s mission. June: You helped Black Issues Forum commemorate Juneteenth becoming a national holiday. July: Celebrating five years of Rootle, we launched Rootle Ambassador, PBS NC’s initiative to educate and impact all children in North Carolina. August: Sci NC taped new episodes with a brand-new set and lighting designs that your support helped provide. September: Our 9/11 We Remember special recognized the anniversary of September 11 with thoughtful storytelling. October: The Key Ingredient took-off, exploring food and recipes across North Carolina with host Sheri Castle! November: With your contributions, the Hindsight documentary series will chronicle the experiences of Black, Indigenous and people of color communities in the American South and Puerto Rico. December: We look forward to sharing the last digital episode of The Innovators: The Transformative Power of NC’s Historically Black and American Indian Universities. We are so thankful that you’ve made all this possible. You help us provide educational and inspiring content, reach people across the state and encourage curiosity about the world around us. Your support is always needed and welcome.
