Dear
colleague:
Grand
Rapids PBS and NETA are pleased to present Inner Compass. For the past eight
years, WGVU-TV has been broadcasting this 30-minute interview series that
tackles critical issues and concerns, imparting food for thought from interesting
new perspectives to their viewers. Now 13 30-minute programs are being
released to U.S.
public television stations. This is good news for program director
Carrie Corbin because now viewers outside of the Grand Rapids area will have the opportunity
to watch the series. As Corbin puts it:
The hosts know the topic; they know about
the guests, and it shows. There simply is not another interview series like this
available. These are thought-provoking topics that we don't see addressed
elsewhere, and I'm always sorry to see the episode end. We appreciate the fact
that some guests have a spiritual story to tell and some don't. That reflects
life today. We're delighted to be the presenting station for this series.
We hope
you’ll take the Sunday feeds that begin September 28, 2008 @ 1630 – 1700ET/513.
