"WCTE is your community-owned Upper Cumberland PBS station. It broadcasts quality programming, provides educational outreach, is an award-winning station, has an incredibly talented staff, is engaged in the communities it serves, has a dedicated and active board, and is more than worthy of viewer support. On a personal note, the station has been my employer for many years. I am honored to be part of the WCTE family.

"Having a public television station like WCTE is an amazing accomplishment for the Upper Cumberland. The station has grown, not only with the programs it produces but also in how it broadcasts, staying current and relevant. The Upper Cumberland is filled with folks who want to know what is going on in the community, the state, and the world. Public television provides that information in an interesting, accurate, and fresh format.

"WCTE is a real asset to the community. It's local and yet it promotes us well beyond the region. Everybody in the whole country knows what we do and how good we are thanks to our station."

"This community and region are enriched by the presence of Public Television. WCTE brings the world to the region in a very special way, and also provides really high quality local programming."

"It is interesting to watch how the station has developed over the years. It started out with just a small group of dedicated, underpaid, overworked people dealing with local issues. Now, it impacts the entire region and is seen throughout the world"

"I believe in the link between educational programming and student learning. I also see it as an untapped tool for teacher professional development."

"Our Community Advisory Board (CAB) was formed to provide a vehicle for effective community input for WCTE. The CAB reviews the station’s programming and its service to the community. The board then advises WCTE President and CEO Becky Magura, who represents the station’s governing body, the Upper Cumberland Broadcast Council."

WCTE depends upon the support of our membership to produce and broadcast quality programming like this. Please help us continue this 30+ year tradition of community involvement by contributing to WCTE today.
