Program Notes

Cozy Up This Winter with PBS Passport

Once upon a time TV was simple. You turned it on and looked until you found something to watch. Then came cable with a lot more choices. Now we have Netflix, Prime, Apple TV and a dozen or so other services with thousands of programs. The good news is that PBS Western Reserve is helping make TV easy again. 

If you want, you can still turn it on and we’ll have something worth watching: MASTERPIECE, NOVA, THIS OLD HOUSE, STUDIO C SESSIONS and more. Or you can watch our PBS Passport service. This is where it gets fun.

In the mood for a drama? We have familiar names including ENDEAVOUR and GRANTCHESTER — but we also have ones every bit as good that you might not know about, such as THE PARIS MURDERS, THE RIVALS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES and THE DRESDEN DETECTIVES. Perfect for a long winter’s night of intrigue. 

In the mood for music? GREAT PERFORMANCES has everything from Garth Brooks to Leonard Bernstein. 

History fans have their pick of Ken Burns’ documentaries including THE ROOSEVELTS and BASEBALL. (Spring training is a little more than a month away.)

Travel the world with NATURE and go beyond the stars with NOVA. You get the idea — the best of public television is yours for the watching with Passport. It’s a benefit to PBS Western Reserve members who join at the $5-a-month level. That’s such a small price for a few thousand hours of great television.

If you already are a member, be sure to activate your Passport. If you’re not yet a member, just sign up here and you’ll be able to watch it all — anytime, anyplace. Just like that, we’ve made TV simple again.

Steve creates the PBS Western Reserve television schedules. Long before finding great programs for you to watch he was a radio DJ. He and his wife are avid travelers, preferring unusual vacation spots such as Cuba and Budapest and sailing across the Atlantic (on an ocean liner, not a sailboat). Tops on his list of famous people he’s met is Fred Rogers. A close second is Mick Jagger or maybe Elton John. His favorite PBS show is “Sherlock Holmes” with Jeremy Brett. Or with Benedict Cumberbatch. It’s a toss-up, he says. Either way, he loves looking for new and interesting programs to share with you.
