Greetings!

 

It's hard to believe that the school year is just around the corner and that summer has come and is nearly gone already.  But no matter what the time of year, Pioneer Public TV has a great program lineup for you and your family.  Whether you're looking for quality, educational children's programming, shows about the arts, sciences and history, do-it-yourself programs or local programs produced by Pioneer, we have something for everyone in your family. You can even watch Pioneer on Demand online on your own schedule at video.pioneer.org.

Don't miss another great lineup this week as we take a look at Ken Burns' The War.  This week the PBS Arts Summer Festival features the Barnes Collection.  Many over-the-air and some cable viewers even get Pioneer Create and Pioneer World.  For a complete program lineup, go to www.pioneer.org/schedule or become a member of Pioneer and get our Pioneer Preview, a programming guide sent directly to your home.
