Our fall lineup delivers everything our viewers value – family, history, drama, and deep Minnesota connections. “Carl the Collector,” the first children’s series to feature an autistic main character, brings a blend of acceptance and entertainment to kids’ programming. Ken Burns and his team offer a fresh perspective on Leonardo da Vinci in a captivating two-night special. For international drama enthusiasts, a new season of “The Nordic Murders” is arriving on TPT Passport. Local history takes center stage in “Broadcast Wars,” with another special holiday feature celebrating our regional past. Available on broadcast and streaming on the PBS App.
