SAINT PAUL, Minn., March 29, 2016 – This month, Twin Cities PBS (TPT) introduced TPT Passport – a new member benefit offering extended on-demand access to a rich library of public television programming. TPT Passport provides donors access to current and archival programs from both PBS and TPT and is available via TPT.org, PBS.org and other digital platforms.
Today there are several hundred hours of content available to donors through TPT Passport and the library will continue to grow over time. Current titles include DOWNTON ABBEY, WOLF HALL and other dramas from MASTERPIECE, as well as favorites such as VICIOUS, MAKERS, EARTH A NEW WILD, HOW WE GOT TO NOW, THE GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW, and many more.
“TPT is proud to offer TPT Passport as a new member benefit – one of many available to our generous donors – providing them on-demand access to even more of the public television programming they love,” said Jim Pagliarini, president & CEO, TPT. “We think our donors will enjoy extended access to great programming through TPT Passport. It’s just one more way we can say thank you to our community of donors – whether they’ve been with us for years or becoming members for the first time.”
In addition to tpt.org, TPT Passport will also be available to members when they identify TPT as their local PBS member station on PBS.org and the PBS Video apps for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, as well as the PBS app on AppleTV. TPT Passport will be available on more platforms in the future. Station members must activate their account before they can access TPT Passport.
TPT Passport is the newest member benefit available from TPT for donors with a yearly contribution of at least $60 or an ongoing monthly contribution of $5 or more. It cannot be purchased separately. PBS and TPT content will continue to be available for free after its broadcast premiere on PBS.org, tpt.org, and other digital platforms.
