Greetings!
Pioneer Public TV is excited to announce the broadcast premiere of the long-awaited Prohibition, a film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. After two public screenings in local communities, we've had such a positive feedback, we're sure it's something you won't want to miss. Better yet, Pioneer Public TV will premiere Volstead Fever: Prohibition in Minnesota, a look at Prohibition in our own backyards...or at least across Southwest Minnesota. Thanks to viewer and business support, Pioneer is able to continue bringing you quality programs like these. We hope you'll enjoy them. Furthermore, take a look at what else the week has in store from great programs like Austin City Limits and NOVA. Thank you for your continued support. We're so thankful for your financial assistance to volunteerism and for helping to make Pioneer what it is today. If you'd like more information about Pioneer and how you can help support us, call 1-800-726-3178 or log-on to www.pioneer.org. Thanks, Pioneer Public Television
