Viewers share why WYES matters to them and thousands of others in our community

From teachers using WYES and PBS programs in their classrooms to New Orleans newcomers learning about local history and longtime viewers who love reliving childhood memories, viewers are sharing why WYES matters.

In the face of Congressional action, which threatens federal funding for WYES and public media stations nationwide, the station is grateful to hear from viewers who value WYES, which for 68 years has been the PBS station for southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

To many of them, the educational, entertaining and informative programs and services the station provides are a lifeline. Visit protectmypublicmedia.org to help.
