You Help North Carolina
Stay Safe and Informed
When you became a member of PBS North Carolina, you
did so much more than simply support the public television
programs you know and love. You brought the power of
public media to homes across our state, impacting the lives
of countless North Carolinians every day.
Did you know that the same technology we use to bring
you your favorite PBS shows is also used to provide first
responders with faster access to vital information during
emergencies across our state?
PBS North Carolina is upgrading its technical infrastructure
to deliver a stronger, more reliable signal for you and for
the people who count on us in emergencies. In remote
communities, this service is particularly critical—when first
responders receive instant alerts, more lives are saved.
Thank you for being a member of PBS North Carolina.
Your support continues to make a difference in the lives of
everyone who calls North Carolina “home.” We’re grateful to
be here for you.
PBS North Carolina is proud to partner with state and local agencies
as well as first responders to help keep communities secure.
