Dear ETV Endowment Member, 

Cookie Monster once said, “What is friend? Friend is someone to share last cookie with.” It’s a charming sentiment, and one that resonates with us here at the ETV Endowment. Your generosity and steadfast support make you not just a viewer or listener, but a true friend and partner in public media. 

Dear Viewers and Listeners, 

In close coordination with emergency officials, South Carolina ETV and Public Radio play a vital role in keeping citizens informed and safe during emergency weather events. Our team provides timely, accurate and accessible information across television, radio and digital platforms — ensuring critical updates reach communities in real time. 

Summer is winding down, and kids are back in school, but SCETV Passport is heating up with fresh stories, compelling mysteries and thought-provoking documentaries to stream.

Whether you're following clever detectives, uncovering hidden secrets in a small village or exploring the ways humans shape our planet, there's plenty to discover this month. 

Zach Murray may be at the beginning of his marriage and career, but he has already taken a big step into adulthood. After reading an email about the ETV Endowment's partnership with Giving Docs, he created a Giving Docs account, an online estate tool, trusting its security and appreciating the easy prompts that guided him toward writing a will... all in about 15 minutes.

As summer break winds down and students across South Carolina head back to school, we're reminded of the critical role education plays in shaping our future, and the vital support system surrounding every learner. At South Carolina ETV and SC Public Radio, education is at the heart of our mission. From creating standards-aligned curriculum to providing trusted resources for teachers and families, public media is a partner in the classroom and beyond.

July may be winding down, but there's still time to escape into a world of adventure, intrigue and unforgettable storytelling — no passport required. This month on SCETV Passport, international dramas take center stage, offering everything from royal power struggles to suspenseful alpine whodunits.
