Note from the President and CEO | 2025 Programming Survey

One of the first numbers that I share with people when touring the station is the number 46,000. Every year WTVP PBS provides 46,000 hours of content over five unique broadcast channels reaching approximately 390,000 households in central Illinois. That’s a big number! Our team works diligently to fill those 46,000 hours with the very best in quality content that helps you learn, connect, and grow. It’s no small task – and we need your help as we work to build broadcast schedules, procure programs, and produce local shows that keep you informed and inspired about your community and the world around you.
Please consider taking five minutes to complete our Annual Audience Programming Survey. This is your opportunity to tell us more about the shows you love and the ones you could do without. We’d love to know how we are doing and where we can make improvements. The survey will remain open through the end of April, and it is the easiest way for you to make your voice heard here at WTVP.
We look forward to hearing from you soon!
Thank you,
The station you love is not going anywhere! But with historic federal funding gone, we are looking to the community to join us in the WE BELIEVE in WTVP campaign to fuel a strong future. When you increase your giving, become a member for the first time, or double your donation, your gift will be matched – up to $300,000! Thank you for helping us close the gap and keep our station strong!
