Value
As we begin a new year, thank you for your continued support of Detroit PBS.
2025 tested us in ways we never expected. The loss of federal funding forced difficult decisions, but we faced them directly and stayed focused on serving Southeast Michigan with integrity and purpose.
What carried us through was you.
Members, viewers, donors, partners, and staff stepped up when it mattered most. Because of your support, trusted journalism continues. Educational resources remain available to families and teachers. Local storytelling and cultural programming stayed strong when our community needed it most.
In 2026, we’re doing more than recovering – we’re building the model for the future. That includes deeper investment in education and literacy, expanded support for caregivers, and powerful storytelling through Destination Detroit as we approach America’s 250th anniversary. It also includes major national and local programs such as “Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History” with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., alongside continued coverage focused on Michigan’s future.
We’re also moving forward with our new home in Detroit’s Milwaukee Junction, designed to better serve, connect, and reflect the community we exist to support.
We know the road ahead will not be easy. The challenges facing public media are real and ongoing, and sustaining this service will require focus, resilience, and continued partnership.
Thank you for standing with Detroit PBS. Together, we are embracing our potential, meeting the challenge, and imagining what comes next.
