Leadership Circle Events Donor Testimonials

It’s hard to imagine not having access to local and national programming that enriches our lives —programs like Sesame Street, FRONTLINE, Rick Steves’ travelogues, Ken Burns’ documentaries, EarthFix, and Masterpiece. Fortunately, we don’t have to. By investing in KCTS 9, you’re joining a group of leaders who believe that news should be unbiased and factual, and entertainment should be historically accurate and not over-dramatized.

As technology and media continue to evolve, now more than ever we rely on you to embrace public media. KCTS 9 will continue to be your local public television station, showcasing your PBS favorites. In addition, we are expanding our local content and broadening our audience to all generations by making those stories available on TV as well as on the web, via all devices.

Leadership Circle donors help KCTS 9 strengthen its impact on air, online and in the community. Your investment ensures free public access to meaningful programming and diverse viewpoints. We are grateful for your support and hope you will enjoy the benefits of being a major investor in public television.
