Happy New Year! As we look forward, I am encouraged by the promise of the new year, new projects and goals, and, of course, new challenges. In an effort to bring audiences the best that public media has to offer, I am pleased to share with you changes to the program schedule on PBS 6 PLUS starting Monday, December 31st. Viewers can still enjoy the best in drama, history, arts & music, science & nature, news & public affairs, DIY, travel, and food; the major difference is that the lineup has been adjusted to provide greater opportunities to view our popular How-To/DIY lineup when most people watch, in the primetime evening hours.
Other changes on PBS 6 PLUS include world news beginning at 5 a.m. with NHK Newsline and BBC World News at 5:30 a.m. weekdays, followed by gardening, sewing, and cooking programs during the morning hours. Then at noon, intelligent interviews and conversations with Amanpour & Company, followed by a block of exercise and cooking shows. Fan favorite dramas continue from 6 - 8 p.m. On Saturdays at 9 p.m. tune to PBS 6 PLUS for the best of PBS Arts programming, including new episodes of Great Performances.
PBS 6 PLUS is available over-the-air on channels 6.3 and 27.3 and on Comcast channel 396 and on Cox channel 82. Find the complete schedule of the new PBS 6 PLUS lineup online.
