Mische, President & CEO New Year New Programming There are several programming changes taking place at KNPB as we start the New Year and I want to make certain you are aware of them. The early broadcast of the PBS Newshour which has been seen Monday-Friday at 3pm for many years is now being seen at 4pm each weekday.

In addition, the PBS Newshour will also be seen each weeknight at 11pm. Following the Newshour at 5pm, KNPB is proud to introduce NHK Newsline. This 30 minute world news report is produced by NHK, which is Japan’s PBS. NHK Newsline fills the time period which had been occupied by Tavis Smiley, which continues in its midnight time slot. Weekdays at 3pm you will enjoy the repeat of a prime-time program. Please consult this guide and our website, www.knpb.org, for the schedule. And finally, beginning Feb. 19 Pinkalicious & Peterrific, a new children’s program designed for ages 3-5 will debut at 6am and 11:30am. This new program is focused on creative arts and self-expression. We have made these changes after analyzing our ratings, viewing habits and audience feedback all of which are very important to us.

But there is one thing we all agree on: living in a democracy is essential indeed. The exhibitions and public programs you find in the following pages bear witness to this view, speaking to the importance of our democratic principles and the American institutions that carry them out. A spectacular new exhibition on the history of women’s suffrage in our Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Gallery this spring sheds new light on the movements that led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution 100 years ago; a major exhibition on Bill Graham, a refugee from Nazi Germany who brought us the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, and many other staples of rock & roll, stresses our proud democratic tradition of welcoming immigrants and refugees; and, as part of a unique New-York Historical–Asia Society collaboration during Asia Society’s inaugural Triennial, an exhibition of extraordinary works from both institutions will be accompanied by a new site-specific performance by drummer/composer Susie Ibarra in our Patricia D.
