January 2018 Season 2 PREMIERES SUN JAN 14 9PM 5.1 • 5.2 • 5.3 • knpb.org • 775.784.4555 Kurt A. 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. The Newshour fills the time period vacated when the Charlie Rose program was canceled in November. With the Newshour at 4pm, you will now have a full, uninterrupted 4 hours of news and information each weekday, to help you stay ahead of what is happening in our world and nation. 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. Please let us know what you think of the new weekday schedule. And thank you as always, for your financial support which makes all of our programs possible.
