MAY 2016

‘May’ We Entice Youwith Local

Programming?PBS39 is stepping out in the community this

May, highlighting what’s going on in eastern

Pennsylvania and western New Jersey with our

all-new Local Hour premiering Tuesdays,

beginning May 3rd at 7:00pm. PBS39 will

feature content that highlights the people,

places, and issues that matter to you.

Of course, our Emmy-nominated weekly news

magazine program, FOCUS, serves as the

centerpiece of the Local Hour this month

(Tuesdays, 7:30pm) as it wraps up its third

season. In addition, two original PBS39

productions will premiere. Viewers can watch

The Salvation Army Legacy, Tuesday, May 10th

at 7:00pm on PBS39, and Wyomissing: An

American Dream, Tuesday, May 17th at

7:00pm.

We’re taking our show on the road this spring,

as well, as we gear up for our Sixth Annual

BrewFest, Saturday, June 4th at Coca-Cola

Park. As always, you can expect good music,

good times, and good local brews from dozens

of the region’s best craft breweries. The festival

sold out in 2014 and 2015, and tickets are

going fast this year! Visit brewfest.wlvt.org for

more information.

In the community, PBS39 will be at the

Bethlehem Public Library, Southside Branch,

on Saturday, May 21st, Noon - 1:00pm, for

Create With Me, our creative crafts program

for kids.

We hope that you’ll share in our excitement to

connect you with your community this month,

and trust us when we say that, like the weather,

we’re just getting warmed up!
