We at the Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network (CPBN), home of Connecticut Public Television (CPTV) and Connecticut Public Radio (WNPR), love going out into the community and getting to know our friends and neighbors better. That’s why we host a number of events and activities throughout the year!
For example, this month, we will be filming an exciting new episode for the upcoming second season of our national music series The Kate. This episode will feature acclaimed actor and musician Kiefer Sutherland, who will be filmed live in a musical performance at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center in Old Saybrook on February 19. Visit TheKate.tv for information on how to be part of the audience!
We also look forward to spending a delightful evening with attendees of the eighth annual Heart to Heart Champagne & Romance Dinner Dance. Faith Middleton, the award-winning host of The Faith Middleton Food Schmooze® on WNPR, will host this event on Thursday, February 9 at The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station in Haddam, Connecticut. Featuring food, fine wine, live music, and dancing, the Heart to Heart Champagne & Romance Dinner Dance has become a popular tradition, and we hope you can join us for this year's festivities. For more information or to reserve tickets, call 860-275-7550 or visit WNPRHeartToHeart.org.
Lastly, we'd like to thank all of the talented student athletes who participated in the second annual CPTV Sports Tip-Off Classic, held this past December. CPTV Sports, a sister station of CPTV, showcased six Connecticut high school basketball teams in three games held back-to-back at Maloney High School in Meriden. We congratulate all involved as well as everyone who came out to support the teams and watch the action!
We look forward to hosting additional events and creating more great memories as the year progresses, but these efforts would not be possible without the support of you, our members. We thank you and hope your 2017 is off to a wonderful start.
