Support Public Television: Join PBS SoCal's Star-Studded Telethon We ❤ Public Television!
PBS SoCal is hosting a star-studded live telethon called We ❤ Public Television to make up for the loss of federal funding. The three-hour event will feature celebrities like Josh Groban, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ken Burns, and will air on PBS SoCal and PBS stations nationwide. Viewers can expect live musical performances, viewer testimonials, and clips from iconic PBS shows like Masterpiece and Sesame Street. The telethon will also include special performances from the Nashville PBS studios with artists like Kathy Mattea and Sierra Hull. The event will be available on the PBS App after the broadcast. The goal is to raise funds to support local public television stations affected by the funding cuts. PBS President Paula Kerger announced budget cuts due to the loss of federal funding, prompting the need for initiatives like the telethon to support public media.
