Winter Pledge Drive
As Program manager here at KRCB, I wanted every viewer to know what we’re doing for our December Pledge Drive
With the tough times affecting us all, we’ve added something new for this important Winter Pledge Drive allowing for greater community engagement and a chance to make even more of a difference! Through a partnership among KRCB and local organizations, Project Open Hand, Food for Thought, Napa Food Bank, and the Marin Community Food Bank, there will be an opportunity for new members and renewing members to help feed the hungry.
Scheduled daily among national pledge specials are four, short, locally-produced episodes titled "KRCB: Telling Our Stories - Connecting Our Communities". These four, quarter-hour-long programs will showcase the local programming made possible on KRCB by member support.
As an important addition to each episode, there will be an opportunity for new members and renewing members to help feed the hungry in their communities. Watch the programs on air or on line at krcb.org for details on how a pledge of support can become a holiday gift of a bag of groceries for a needy family.
These programs will also kick off our Silver Anniversary celebrating twenty five years of KRCB Public Television in the Bay Area and highlight the Station’s future as a digital and on-line service! Join the celebration, join public television, and join with others in the community to help alleviate hunger locally.
Digital Conversion
I want to assure you that we are very aware that February 17th; the digital conversion date, is getting closer. In addition to short public service announcements airing with frequency, you’ll notice broadcasts of a 30-minute program Get Ready for Digital TV. Norm Abram and Kevin O’Connor of This Old House share their expertise and help us all prepare for the “Digi-Day” coming soon. Be looking for many broadcasts of that helpful show from now thru February. You can also find the information you need right here at krcb.org.
Happy Holidays
I want to wish everyone a happy holiday season ahead, and a great New Year filled with great challenges and great promise. Thank you for your support, your feedback, and enthusiastic responses over the past year. You make all the difference to our work here at the station, and we appreciate it tremendously.
