Favorite PBS/KCPT Program: While I can list my favorites, it is far too difficult to name THE favorite program. Here they are in no particular order:
What do I enjoy most about being involved with KCPT? I enjoy working with an organization that does so much for the Kansas City Region. I have worked with many non-for-profit organizations over the years and I have yet to work with a more passionate, devoted and talented staff as what I have found at KCPT. Their passion for Public Television and the way they weave that mission into the fabric of the Kansas City community is amazing.
Why should someone support KCPT? In addition to all that was said above, I would like to remind everyone that the quality programming has a cost that is not supported by commercial advertising or cable subscription fees. The only way that we can continue to enjoy the independent high quality national and local programming is for us to vote with our wallets. It is incumbent upon me, as a viewer, to financially support this programming. To me, FRONTLINE is a perfect example of a program that began out of the void created when commercial networks began producing “more profitable content” and moved away from revealing, hard-hitting investigative reporting. Without our support, programming like FRONTLINE would disappear and I believe the public would be less informed because of it.

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.

What is your favorite PBS or KCPT program and why?
NOVA is my favorite program because I get to see remarkable science programs. I work at an academic medical center and find the NOVA programming fascinating.

KCPT allows me the opportunity to learn things about the greater Kansas City community that I would have never known otherwise.

It is critical for folks to support KCPT because they’re a premier educational resource.

What is your favorite PBS or KCPT program and why?
Definitely The Local Show and Check, Please!. I love to see what KCPT uncovers that is only in Kansas City. Food – who doesn’t like to find a new restaurant!
What do you enjoy most about being involved with KCPT?
As a volunteer and board member, KCPT is always fun. There is SO much going on. I always leave a KCPT event with a sense that the time spent was worthwhile.
Why should people support KCPT?
KCPT covers what is best about Kansas City and what we need to know about Kansas City. Whether it is human interest or difficult issues, we can always count on KCPT to provide details and perspective. Our region is complicated by the state line. Further, we sometimes have unwelcomed influence by Topeka or St. Louis. There is so much to investigate and keep track of. We have to stay informed to sustain our city. Supporting KCPT helps all of us stay more knowledgeable and dedicated to our city.

What is your favorite PBS or KCPT program and why?
Actually, I have several favorites. Forced to choose, it is definitely The Local Show. I enjoy learning about what is happening in our own community, at the local level. We have a tendency to forget all the great people and developments in our own backyard.
What do you enjoy most about being involved with KCPT?
The opportunity to meet and work with great people I may not run into otherwise. We bond and are all driven by our common passion of helping position KCPT as the local channel of choice.
Why should people support KCPT?
Education, and therefore knowledge, is a wonderful antidote to poverty while promoting understanding. Where else can you get a world-class education for just pennies? Let’s not forget the first class art programs (“food for the soul”) coming to our family rooms thanks to KCPT.

What is your favorite PBS or KCPT program and why?
It is hard to pick just one so I will share a few of my favorites…I am a big fan of Antiques Roadshow as I like to see the reaction people have to some of the treasures they have in their family. I particularly like hearing the personal stories and histories of the antiques on display. Sometimes those are more interesting than the pieces themselves. But I am also a big fan of Great Performances, NOVA, Frontline and, of course, The Local Show. I always feel a little bit smarter, more inspired and more informed with these programs. It is hard to find this kind of content anywhere else. I also enjoy watching KCPT online.
What do you enjoy most about being involved with KCPT?
I am really impressed with all the people working at KCPT and generous members and supporters of KCPT. This is really a remarkable organization supporting the diverse needs of the Kansas City community with quality, informative and inspiring programming. I marvel at the level of trust viewers place in KCPT and, in today’s television media landscape, that is a rare quality! I don’t believe that happens by accident but through thoughtful and responsible servant leadership. It is an honor and a real privilege to be associated with this organization, the people working at KCPT and all the members and supporters of this dedicated organization.
Why should people support KCPT?
I believe KCPT brings something rare to the Kansas City community that is hard to find in other venues and media. Just look at the programming line up! It is amazing. KCPT does this without commercial sponsorship and completely relies on viewers and organizations to endorse and support the work they do. I like the fact that KCPT and PBS focus on producing and delivering on such high quality programming but is also respectful of that very programming, and its viewers, by not interrupting with commercials. But this requires other support and KCPT looks to the community of viewers to help them continue with this commitment to quality and respect for the programming and viewers. I also like the fact that KCPT has become a reflection of the Kansas City community and the people who choose to live in this amazing city. It is because of this, I choose to support KCPT with my membership and time.
