As we enter a new membership year, I want to personally thank you for your continued support of the Public Television Programming Association. Your participation is what makes this community such a strong and collaborative space for programmers across the system.

This past year brought its share of challenges, uncertainty around federal funding, continued shifts in viewer behavior, and the growing need to meet audiences wherever they are. Throughout it all, PTPA has remained focused on supporting programmers with the tools, connections, and encouragement to adapt and lead.

One throughline we’re especially proud of is our emphasis on the importance of local. In all aspects of programming strategy we’ve centered local programming as a key driver of relevance and trust and we’ll continue that focus in the year ahead.

While membership rates are increasing slightly this year, I continue to believe PTPA offers exceptional value. Our professional development and networking opportunities are designed to meet your evolving needs and help you grow in both confidence and capacity.

I hope you’ll renew your membership and stay part of this dynamic, resilient, and forward-looking community.

Warm regards,
Jill Linder
