Greetings!

 

Pioneer Public TV was thrilled to introduce a new channel in our four-channel digital lineup at the beginning of April.  We now offer Pioneer in high definition, Pioneer Create, Pioneer's Minnesota Channel and Pioneer World.  If you watch Pioneer over the air or if your cable company carries more than one Pioneer channel, you'll now be able to watch Pioneer World, our newest channel, on Pioneer channel four.  No matter your interests, Pioneer always has something for you to watch!

Our local programs are still going strong.  This year Prairie Yard & Garden celebrated 25 years on the air.  With a new producer, Postcards entered it's third season and continues to bring you great programming, highlighting the arts, culture and history of the region.  Your Legislators is still your source for Minnesota politics after 31 years.  We love to hear what you think about our local programming.  

From our station to your living room, we hope you enjoy our programming as much as we do!

Sincerely,

Pioneer Public Television
