Our Roots Begin With You

PBS North Carolina’s roots run deep. For seven decades, we’ve been your public media home and partner. We’re honored to have grown right alongside you, from your earliest years to today. I’m tremendously proud of what we’ve accomplished together.

As this year’s impact story highlights, our work reflects our ongoing mission to nurture and celebrate the thriving communities that make up our state. As always, you’re the focus of every story, educational resource, event and emergency message we share. Your community is always on our minds and hearts, inspiring us to go further and dig deeper.

PBS North Carolina offers a unique homegrown service to you and your loved ones, supporting your mind and well-being through our content and resources, plus ensuring your safety through our role as NC’s emergency communications provider.

This year alone, with your incredible support, we hosted a student summit on climate change in the Triangle, filmed a discussion on immigration in the Triad and joined hands with a nonprofit in the mountains of western North Carolina to provide food, health screenings and a farm-to-table learning experience to families. These special moments are just the tip of the iceberg.

I’m humbly grateful to you for helping us sustain our commitment to our great state. Thank you!

—David Crabtree, CEO & General Manager
