Explorer Guide

KVIE is far more than television. In fact, we don't think of ourselves as being in the business of television. Our business, rather, is really about ideas, learning, arts and culture, and citizenship. Television is simply the means by which we deliver these resources to our community.

As a public service, we profit by improving the community in which we depend for support. We succeed to the extent that our children learn, our viewers become engaged in matters that concern them, and those within our communities join together in a common cause.

Honor. Celebrate. Remember. Explore
The KVIE Explorer Guide takes you on a terrific journey, giving you opportunities to experience growth and adventure. Exploring new ideas and broadening people’s horizons is available through public television for everyone regardless of their circumstances to participate. Each month, discover programs about national celebrations and observances to those that offer information on health awareness, cultural traditions, and holiday specials. Check this page each month for new information.
