MAY 2014

Viewers Matter!

May has an exciting set of five Friday

nights that will close out the debut year of FOCUS.

Since its premiere in September, our local show

has earned a loyal audience with deep news

reporting and intriguing stories. The FOCUS team

has covered topics including new technologies and

family-centered therapies for those touched by

autism; information on local farming and food

options; great hidden regional attractions such as

parks and museums; and in-depth information on

health topics in pregnancy, infant care and asthma.

Join Laura, Grover and Brittany each Friday this

month at 7:00pm as they continue with a variety

of timely and engaging topics. (You may catch a

repeat on Sundays at 11:30am and 5:30pm or

Mondays at 11:30pm)

Congratulations to FOCUS for capturing

the essence of the PBS39 mission to educate,

inspire and entertain — all connected to the people,

places and issues in the greater Lehigh Valley —

and you, our viewers.

During the rest of the week, you’ll find

your favorite prime time programs outlined inside

your guide. And don’t forget all the kids programs

that run each weekday from 6:00am to 6:00pm.

Your children will enjoy Wild Kratts, Dinosaur Train,

Peg + Cat, WordGirl and more; and may not even

realize they are learning while they watch!

(Check our website for the daytime listings.)

Thank you for tuning in and for keeping

PBS39 on the air.
