In the past few months, A Towering Task: The Story of the Peace Corps has been broadcast across the country on World and local PBS stations. We are thrilled to announce that the documentary has been shown on more than 300 channels with over 900 telecasts since September. So far, we have reached 46 states (looking at you Delaware, New Jersey, North Carolina and Rhode Island). That is incredible! And thanks to all of you who have called in and written to your local stations to help share the story of the Peace Corps.

For PBS broadcasts going forward, look below – near the bottom of the email – in the “Finding Broadcast Times for your PBS Station” section. Or get your DVD (or streaming) through Amazon!

For your local PBS stations:

1. If the documentary has already been scheduled, go to this page: https://www.pbs.org/.
2. In the top right corner of the navigation bar, you may see you’re already set to your local PBS station. If not, you can hover your mouse over the PBS station set and then click on “Change Your Local Station” under the red donate button.
3. Choose your local station, and hit the “Confirm” button.
4. From there, click on “TV Schedules” in the top navigation.
5. For local stations, you can then type “A Towering Task” in the search bar at the top of the schedule (or top navigation for some local station web pages). Once you find “A Towering Task”, you should be able to see the dates, times, and channels for airing.
6. If you cannot find any information, contact your local station. They should be able to share the timings with you, or if they don’t have a time slot, request that “A Towering Task” be scheduled.

For PBS WORLD:

1. Visit: https://worldchannel.org/.
2. Once there, go to “Set Station” in the navigation bar and enter your zip code (or find by state) in the pop-up window. Click on the local station that works for your area.
3. Once on your local station, click on the schedule. If your local station is a World subscriber, you will see what channels on your TV host WORLD, and you can search by the show name or on the dates the show is to air (September 29th and 30th) to find the time you can view the documentary. Be sure to note the timings and that you account for time zone differences, as needed.
