Board Member Highlight: Brian Johnston

Meet Board Member Brian Johnston, Sponsorship Sales Manager with the Kansas City Chiefs.

What is your favorite PBS or KCPT program and why?
The Local Show—I love to learn about the fascinating talents of people around the city!   For example, I had just finished reading both the River of Doubt & Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard.  The next week I was watching an episode of The Local Show and they had a great interview with her.  Honestly, I didn’t realize she was from Kansas City until I watched the show.

History—I love history so whenever a Ken Burns program is on I’m hooked.  And, of course anything about Kansas City history I love too!

What do you enjoy most about being involved with KCPT?
I am a big fan of Kansas City as I grew up here.  Like most kids, I started watching Sesame Street on KCPT.  While most of my life is involved in sports, I truly love the arts and to have the ability to give back to a great board and organization like KCPT is something I am very proud of.

Why should people support KCPT?
KCPT is Kansas City.  There is no other media outlet in our area that offers the type of programming that KCPT offers — and has for many years.  If you believe in the community and enjoy the programming available on KCPT, you should support it.
