President’s MESSAGE

Viewer Feedback

Thank you for making 2017 great on KVIE! Because you and others like you support your PBS station, Ken Burns’ The Vietnam War gave us an unprecedented look at one of the most divisive moments in our country’s history. Victoria on MASTERPIECE took us into the court of Queen Victoria. We produced new episodes of our statewide series, Inside California Education – introducing you to the people and programs making a difference for the 6.2 million students across the Golden State. Tune in this month for more great programs like holiday specials of Last Tango in Halifax and Call the Midwife. Your donations make these programs possible. As we approach the end of the year, please be generous in supporting what you love to watch. Visit kvie.org/yearend2017 to make your year-end gift.

Stay tuned!

“I received an email stating my donation for this month couldn’t be processed. Why didn’t it process?” - BG in Elk GroveThere are a variety of reasons why a charge card may not work. One recent example is that the billing address for the card wasn’t changed after the member moved. We charged the card based on the new address and the bank had the old address so they rejected the charge. Call member services at 916-641-3500 to update any payment method and, thank you for your support.
