Go Public with local televison

‹ Great Turnout for Power of the Hour Launch! One Gold Medal and Two Heroes ›

Go Public CampaignTVO is changing the face, and the name of the “idiot box”. TVO has proven time and time again that public television can be a powerful force for good. It fosters literacy. It celebrates diversity. It brings communities together and inspires them to get involved and make a positive impact on the province. Unfortunately, it’s tough times for TVO, as they need $10 million dollars above their government grant annually, to continue and expand their on-air, online and outreach initiatives. TVO’s new Go Public campaign aims to inform viewers about everything you’ve ever wanted to know about TVO!

Donations can be made through their website; and your donations will help contribute to quality and inspiring programming – which aims to improve education and literacy for all ages. As a publicly funded organization, TVO relies on its 3.5 million weekly viewers for their support and donations. The GO Public campaign is extremely informative regarding the current issues for public television and outlines TVO’s plans for the future. Public television is YOUR television – whether it’s sharing public opinions, or bringing communities together – your financial support goes towards YOUR local television, so your donations will not go unnoticed!
