Navigating the world of PBS can be a daunting task—though it's an iconic and rewarding platform for non-fiction content, the system is complex and often difficult to navigate. Beginning with figuring out whether to approach a specific local station or the national entity, the process can be unclear and overwhelming. With my experience as the Director of National Content at TPT (Twin Cities PBS), the fourth-largest PBS station in the U.S., I’ve successfully navigated these challenges and helped many creators find the right path. I can guide you through the intricacies of PBS, helping you connect with the right stations, entities, and decision-makers to get your project the attention it deserves.
