To accomplish channel scheduling and planned local productions, Vegas PBS contracts with network program providers and independent producers to accomplish a licensee-approved community service programming and a local production plan. Adoption of this plan grants Vegas PBS authority to purchase programming and production resources for those projects. The plan may be amended by Board action through the year if grant funds are secured for significant local program productions. Specific independent contractors are hired throughout the year following standard purchase order issuance by the Purchasing Department. The Purchasing Department has reviewed the request for purchase and has determined that contracting for these services may be exempted from the competitive bidding process in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 332. Vegas PBS has presented an annual production plan to the Board of School Trustees since 1996. For this item, board members act in their capacity as Federal Communication Commission (FCC) approved television licensees responsible for serving viewers in the station’s multi-state and four county service region. The programming and production plan authorizes national network programming affiliation agreements for KLVX-DT Channel 10’s three over the air channels and a possible fourth channel, plus six over the air Educational Broadband Service (EBS) channels serving school sites, three noncommercial educational cable channels, and 29 Clark County School District (CCSD) Classroom Cable channels.

  • This Summer, American Public Television and WORLD Channel Transport Audiences to an African National Park That Is Saving Endange
    This Summer, American Public Television and WORLD Channel Transport Audiences to an African National Park that is Saving Endangered Animals while Lifting Communities out of Poverty “Our Gorongosa” shares the stories of the women who are transforming conservation and development in Gorongosa National Park and providing the next generation of girls with opportunities for empowered futures Chevy Chase, MD (July 26, 2021) – “Our Gorongosa,” the inspirational film by Tangled Bank Studios and Gorongosa Media is debuting on public television stations across the country this summer and nationally on WORLD Channel, produced by GBH in partnership with the WNET Group in New York and distributed by American Public Television. Close to 90% of U.S. households will now be able to see the film on their local public television station (check local listings for eXact dates and airtimes). “Our Gorongosa” features Dominique Gonçalves, a vibrant Mozambican ecologist who runs the Gorongosa elephant ecology project as she shares the myriad ways Gorongosa is redefining the identity and purpose of an African national park. From her own work mitigating human/elephant conflict; to community clubs and school programs that empower girls to avoid teen marriage and pregnancy; to health clinics and nutrition training for eXpectant mothers and families; Dominique transforms viewers’ understanding of what a national park can be. The commitment of the remarkable women who run these programs—and the resilience of the mothers and girls who are benefiting from them—tell an inspiring story of strength and hope. “Our Gorongosa” has captivated film festival audiences since its debut at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture and its festival premiere in 2019 at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival.

  • “The History of White People in America” This July
    WORLD CHANNEL AND PBS’s INDEPENDENT LENS PRESENT “THE HISTORY OF WHITE PEOPLE IN AMERICA” THIS JULY Digital animated series explores the history of race in America and its role in shaping modern society Premieres July 6 on WORLD’s YouTube Channel BOSTON (June 30, 2020) — As Americans prepare to celebrate the nation’s birth this Independence Day in the midst of historic uproar about racial disparities and injustices, WORLD Channel — the public media channel that helps us understand conflicts, movements and cultures that may be distinct from our own — presents a new animated musical series, The History of White People in America. In partnership with WORLD Channel and PBS’s Independent Lens, The History of White People in America looks at the history of race in the United States, in particular how the crafting of the idea of the White race — of whiteness — helped shape the nation’s history, designating other groups for subjugation and having wide-ranging ramifications on social class and life experience that exist to this day. The series of digital short films will premiere on Monday, July 6, at 3 p.m. ET on WORLD’s YouTube channel. Comprised of three short episodes with musical/spoken word narration and animated dramatizations, The History of White People in America takes the audience on a journey through American history, starting in the 17th century. The story begins in Jamestown, Virginia, where an uprising of poor indentured Europeans and enslaved Africans against rich landowners leads to new laws designed to undermine unity between the poor of all backgrounds, and how “skin became color, color became race and race became power.” Each episode explores a critical juncture in race in the United States, from the Virginia Slave Codes which made marriage between Whites and non-Whites illegal to the complicated truths of Sally Hemmings, who was both enslaved by, and mothered the children of, American forefather Thomas Jefferson.
