Message from the President

William “Bill” Mohler,
President and CEO, KCTS Television

Dear KCTS Television members (and future members!):

Thanks for taking the time to visit our Web site and learn more about KCTS 9. You’ll find yourself well-rewarded, as we have a full lineup of programs and activities that will inform, involve and inspire you.

Last year, one of several major accomplishments at the station was launching KCTS 9 V-me, a Spanish-language public television service that provides 40 hours per week of educational children's programming, plus public affairs, lifestyle and entertainment programming. The channel is in use by schools and families across the state. KCTS 9 V-me is just one of our four digital channels. KCTS 9 HD, KCTS 9 Create and KCTS 9 DT all provide high-quality public television programming 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Please visit our channel locator page to learn how to access these channels in your area.

While KCTS 9 has been preparing for the digital transition for over a decade, many of our viewers still view us over the air on older television sets that will no longer work after February 17, 2009, when all analog broadcast ceases. We have information on the digital transition online; please visit our digital television information pages to find out how you can prepare.

After you've checked your readiness for the digital transiton, I hope you will relax and enjoy the best of what television has to offer—all on KCTS 9. When you have a moment, drop us a line and let us know what you think—send your comments to start@KCTS9.org. Your feedback will help us continue to improve our services.

Best regards,





William P. Mohler
President & CEO
