We're Powered By Your Support

There’s nothing better than, at the end of the year, to reflect on all that we’ve accomplished here at New Hampshire PBS. As we approach the end of 2023, I find that it is your comments, letters and phone calls, and the folks who literally stop by to let us know we’re on the right track, that make us feel proud of what we do.

It’s great when our members, viewers and supporters reach out to let us know what is on their minds, how we could improve and what they enjoy watching on New Hampshire PBS. Sheila H., who loves watching WINDOWS TO THE WILD WITH WILLEM LANGE, said, “I’m excited to be donating to New Hampshire PBS and to watch your shows. I’ve moved away from New Hampshire, but it is still home in my heart. I’ll be enjoying your broadcasting from Oregon.”   

It means a lot to us when we receive a note from a longtime GRANITE STATE CHALLENGE coach who speaks to the value of our high school quiz show. “Granite State Challenge is such an amazing experience for the kids, coaches and families…because of all the hard work that you and your team put into the production of the show. Every single student I’ve had come through my program in the last decade, win or lose, loves their GSC experience, from the qualifying test to their time in-studio. We love NHPBS, and especially GSC,” said Sara Campbell, the GSC coach from Merrimack High School.

If you’ve called in to the station, you’ve probably talked with Linda Howe, who has been with us for 45 years and can chase down answers to just about any of your questions about our programming schedule or how to watch our shows. Or perhaps you spoke to either Terry Douglass or Diamond LeGrande, both of whom are on the front lines of our membership department. They’ll help you get started watching all your favorite shows with NHPBS Passport or ensure that you have your tickets in hand for one of our concerts, or they’ll just listen to your feedback on how we’re doing.

We loved hearing from Emily B. of Allenstown, NH, who thinks NHPBS has “wonderful programming that is educational, interesting and entertaining.”  Our friend Lori D. from Center Conway wrote to us saying, “I support NHPBS for all the diverse great programs, which are either entertaining or learning experiences. I support PBS for the great programming all year round.” Janet C. from Dover said, “NHPBS is the only television I watch. It is relevant and essential.” 

But sometimes you reach out to let us know that things aren’t quite right. Michael P. in Swanzey, who’s had intermittent problems receiving our TV signal, has been in touch several times with our engineering department to troubleshoot this problem. You may be asking yourself, does a television station make house calls? In some cases, yes, we do. Michael sent us a letter after his in-home visit expressing, “In my experience, Steve and Tom’s collective act of kindness and service to NHPBS members is more than noteworthy - it’s remarkable.”

I want to take this moment to thank you for your continued support throughout the year.  We have accomplished so much together, and I’m incredibly proud of our small but mighty team who serve you every day. I’m excited about new ways to serve our community. We have ambitious goals for the new year, and I know that we can achieve them together with your continued financial support—and your moral support.  Please keep your comments coming!

I wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season.
