Project Description

The public television audience, the dedicated viewers of our program, reflects the rich social and economic landscape of our nation. Seventy-seven million households representing 141 million people watch public television in any single month. Ninety-nine percent of all U.S. homes receive public television, 18 percent higher than the most widely available cable networks. Through public television, our program will be available to an audience that looks like America, without regard to region, ethnicity, gender or economic status. And PBS scheduling offers them several opportunities to see each program, because stations have chosen to rebroadcast our shows.

PBS Endorsment

Character Studies has received a strong endorsment from PBS. Our series builds on the tradition of great cultural programming on PBS, including American Masters, Great Performances, Masterpiece Theatre, Live from Lincoln Center and Stage on Screen. In its letter of support, PBS stated its "high level of enthusiasm" for the series. And it concluded that "public television stations have a strong interest in this wonderful series that explores the dramatic arts."
