Vermont Business Magazine Vermont PBS today announced a new emphasis on locally produced content as the cornerstone of its groundbreaking new fall season. “Made Here” defines a broad range of content from local filmmakers, allowing Vermont PBS to share a wider range of local stories as seen through many different eyes. Vermont PBS continues to produce excellent in-house series this fall including the second season of InnoVaTe, which will move from being an online only series to be shown on television also; the third season of Discover Jazz; a new series about the local food system called The Local Motive; and many other productions such as our live coverage of political debates leading up to the November elections.

“Made Here allows us to dramatically increase our local programming, putting even more ‘Vermont’ in Vermont PBS,” said Holly Groschner, President and CEO of Vermont PBS. From airing A Vermont Romance which was made 100 years ago in the state to bringing viewers stories of New Americans in Vermont to giving film students a place to show what they are doing, Vermont PBS is a home on television and online for great local content- more than ever before.”
Vermont PBS will add Made Here to its current lineup of national PBS favorites and in-house productions. These programs will air on Vermont PBS and Vermont PBS Plus. To view the programming schedule, go to: www.vermontpbs.org/schedule; to learn more about Made Here programs visit www.vermontpbs.org/madehere. The organization is already working on its winter/spring Made Here lineup and anticipates even more great films will be shared in the future.
