Be a part of saving PBS
for the Northwest Florida region!
As part of Pensacola State College's decision to end WSRE's affiliation with PBS, the station's PBS Passport program and donor membership account were also discontinued. We know this has been disappointing for many loyal viewers, and we appreciate your patience during this transition.
The good news is that PBS is working quickly to establish a new local PBS connection for viewers throughout the Pensacola and Gulf Coast region. Soon, you'll once again be able to enjoy your favorite PBS programs, access PBS Passport with a qualifying donation, and reconnect with a local PBS station dedicated to serving our community.
In just a few days, you'll be able to renew your PBS Passport membership by making a donation to Emerald Coast PBS. Your support will do more than restore your Passport benefits — it will help build and sustain a strong local PBS presence for the communities of Northwest Florida and the Gulf Coast.
Emerald Coast PBS is coming soon!
Please check back regularly at EmeraldCoastPBS.org for updates, announcements, and information about how you can renew your Passport membership and become part of saving PBS for the Emerald Coast.
