From the very beginning, the vision for WKNO was to provide the Mid-South with the opportunity to experience and explore the breadth and depth of the world around us.

Today, we are dedicated to nourishing the same spirit of exploration into the 21st century. Every day, we invite our viewers, listeners and supporters to join us for the new experiences, ideas, opportunities and perspectives that lay ahead.

The transition to digital broadcasting provides WKNO television and radio the platform to provide the community with multiple program services as part of our mission to inform, enlighten, educate and entertain.

WKNO’s new Digital Media Center, now under development at Cherry Farms Road and Goodlett Farms Parkway, will provide the needed digital foundation for enhanced service to our viewers and listeners.

The 39,000 square foot building will be the home for WKNO offices as well as production and broadcast operations for the public television and radio stations. The state-of-the-art center will include two TV studios – one equipped with HD production equipment – an HD edit suite, and new digitally equipped FM Studios.

By blending popular PBS and NPR programs with increased local programs and features that showcase our community, the new building will assist WKNO to advance its mission of service.

This historic transition to digital broadcasting is within $500,000 of its goal of $15 million. Thanks to the generous support of Individuals, Foundations and Corporations WKNO is in the process of completing the Capital Campaign and constructing the Digital Media Center debt-free.

As we begin this final phase of the project, we would like for you to be a part of the most important initiative in WKNO’s history. For over 50 years, Community Support has made the programming services presented possible.

Please consider making a pledge now to help WKNO to complete this campaign. You may pledge online here or call the Development Office at 901-458-2521 for more information.
