Tennessee’s Public Television Stations Present State Senator Jamie Woodson and State Representative Harry Tindell with Legislator of the Year Award
The Tennessee Public Television Council (TPTC), made up of Tennessee’s six public television stations including WKNO, presented State Senator Jamie Woodson and State Representative Harry Tindell with its Legislator of the Year Award recently in Nashville.
The state’s six public television stations are independent nonprofit organizations that together reach more than 98% of all Tennesseans including 650,000 households that do not have cable or satellite.
“We are truly honored and humbled to have the support of State Senator Jamie Woodson and State Representative Harry Tindell,” said Michael J. LaBonia, President and CEO of WKNO and TPTC Chairman. “Tennessee’s public television stations provide Tennesseans with free access to important local health issues, local programs that preserve and celebrate our unique Tennessee culture, and award-winning educational programs and resources that assist children, parents and educators. It’s the support of leaders like State Senator Woodson and State Representative Tindell that enables us to continue this important work.”
WKNO is a non-profit, private foundation serving the Mid-South for more than 50 years.
An important community resource, WKNO uses the power of non-commercial public broadcasting to provide the Mid-South with quality educational and cultural programs that inform, entertain, and inspire. For more information: wkno.org
