Dear Hive:
In honor of the seventh day of Christmas – and with apologies to those swans a-swimming – I offer up these “7 Bees a-BUZZing” highlights of 2024!
7 … new episodes starring Virginia nonprofits on Blue Ridge PBS (not counting our special one-hour 50th Episode!).
6 … new episodes starring Birmingham nonprofits on Alabama Public Television.
5 … new episodes already in production for 2025: 5 … new episodes already in production for 2025: Franklin County (Va.) NAACP, The Spot on Kirk, Masterpiece Alliance, RADAR Transit, and Blue Ridge Literacy.
4 … nonprofits we connected with professional livestream video resources to provide them more buzz (Smith River Singers, Friends of the Blue Ridge, Glencoe Mansion, and The Grandin Theatre).
3 … major markets where BUZZ now airs on public television – New York’s NYC Media, WTTW – Chicago PBS and Los Angeles’ KVCR Public Media – thanks to Blue Ridge PBS and the National Educational Telecommunications Association.
2 … EMMY award nominations (New Year’s resolution: an EMMY award!)
1 … grateful heart for all the nonprofits, marketing professionals, funders, broadcast partners and viewers who have embraced our mission in 2024.
THANK YOU!
Always buzzing,
Michael Hemphill
