Happy New Year!
In the past year we’ve shared the enjoyment of new local programs and family-friendly events, met challenges head-on, and celebrated our triumphs together. Through it all, your unwavering support has been the heartbeat of our journey.
In 2024, we are thrilled to embark on more new adventures, and we look forward to share some incredible programming highlights with you.
On January 4, we’ll meet a tight-knit group of Austin taqueros who have formed a deliciously close bond in TACO MAFIA. Witness the camaraderie, passion, and appetizing creations that make this show a celebration of friendship and flavor. These additions to our programming are just the beginning of what promises to be an extraordinary year.
Your support has been the cornerstone of our success, and we are profoundly grateful for each and every one of you. May this new year bring you moments of joy, discovery, and connection. Let's make it a year of shared laughter, culinary delights, and a deeper understanding of the human spirit. Thank you for being an integral part of the PBS El Paso family!
