You may have noticed that this issue of the Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network (CPBN) programming guide looks a bit different from previous issues. In response to the changing needs of our viewers, we’re transforming these pages to connect with our audience like never before.
CPBN is home to three television stations – Connecticut Public Television (CPTV), CPTV4U, and CPTV Sports – as well as Connecticut Public Radio (WNPR) and our online platforms. As we offer more programming options than ever, we seek more ways to share and celebrate those programs with you. It is our hope that the new format of our programming guide will help achieve this. Stay tuned in the coming months for more in-depth articles about CPTV Originals like our national music series The Kate ; more behind-the-scenes features about hit PBS series like Mercy Street ; and more insights and interviews featuring WNPR personalities like Faith Middleton, John Dankosky, and Colin McEnroe. Plus, readers can expect information and updates about exciting events and initiatives designed to bring CPBN and its audiences even closer together.
One such initiative that we are particularly excited about is WNPR’s The Radius Project, a five-episode podcast that maps Connecticut’s capital city in a whole new way! Each episode explores a well-known Hartford landmark and the half-mile radius around it. Listeners are treated to tours of Keney Park, Albany Avenue, Mount Olive Church, and other unique and historic Hartford locations. To stream episodes, view the beautiful photographs that accompany each story, and more, visit radiusproject.org. The Radius Project is made possible by the Greater Hartford Arts Council and the City of Hartford Arts and Heritage Jobs Grant Program. CPBN plans to expand The Radius Project into other locales – connecting with the people and places of Connecticut in new and meaningful ways.
As we evolve and employ new strategies and technologies to bring our audiences great content, we also hold tight to the values and the mission that CPBN was built on. Thank you to you, our members, for making our evolution possible.
