In 2008, Minnesota's voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment (Legacy Amendment) to the Minnesota Constitution to: protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Some of Pioneer PBS' programs are made possible by the voters of Minnesota through legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
If you are in support of arts, cultural and heritage, please tell your local legislators.
For more information about Pioneer PBS' programs supported by these funds please contact our production director at 1-800-726-3178 or email yourtv@pioneer.org.
Grassland Jam is Pioneer PBS's bluegrass/Americana music program, bringing live music festivals from all around rural Minnesota straight to your living room!
Recently, a construction crew working near a Pioneer PBS tower severed major power and fiber optic lines needed to keep Pioneer PBS broadcasting over the air on television. The damaged fiber cannot be fixed and new fiber must be installed. The station has ordered replacement fiber to be run. This event will only affect viewers who rely on over-the-air television. Our regular programming will continue on streaming services and online platforms.
