This station helped my children become Ready to Learn. It helps me stay informed with local programs and in-depth news coverage. A gift to Detroit Public TV is an investment in the future of our community. That's why I encourage you to support the capital campaign for Detroit Public Television. - Dana Locniskar, Detroit Public TV Trustee

  Watch us grow! Construction is proceeding quite nicely at our Riley Broadcast Center on Master Control and technical areas. Check out the cool 52-inch plasma monitors in MCR. Right next door is the Bill and Patricia Smith Broadcast Operations Center. Down the hall, we have three edit rooms up and creating magic! The edit rooms are sponsored by Gene and Lois Miller, Mark and Lois Shaevsky, and Don and Shay Pendray. May we name an area for you? Learn about naming opportunities that reflect your interests by contacting Kelley Hamilton at 248.305.3716 or khamilton@dptv.org.

A World of Opportunity - Available to All. Detroit Public TV and PBS can inspire anyone with a TV set to engage in deeper, more meaningful ways with the world around them. We also believe in partnering with our local cultural, educational, and civic organizations to help them achieve their goals and strengthen our region.
Community partnerships and lifelong learning are at the heart of our $22 million capital campaign, Because Minds Matter, to secure the future of public television in metro Detroit.
 To date, we're pleased to announce that we have raised nearly $15 million toward our goal. That success has allowed us to acquire a new facility in Wixom, Michigan, The Riley Broadcast Center, named for our lead campaign donors Dolores and George Riley and their Family Foundation. In our final technical and production phase of the campaign, we will raise the funding necessary to build out the remainder of the new Broadcast Center. The office space and infrastructure are there, but we must build out the television portion of it so that Detroit Public TV can remain freely available over the air and be a valuable partner for all in Southeast Michigan.The need is urgent because, beginning in 2009, PBS will not accept our non-digital programs. That means that, without funds for digital conversion, Detroit Public TV will not be able to showcase Michigan's artists, performers, and natural wonders to national and international audiences, nor derive revenue from our other national productions.
 The campaign includes plans for a mobile production truck, which will allow Detroit Public TV to produce programs anywhere in Southeast Michigan.With your support, we're confident that we'll meet our goal and together, we'll create exciting new programs and services for children, families, and our community.
