Inside ETV Endowment

Dear Viewers and Listeners, 

I am thrilled to return home to South Carolina and rejoin the talented team at South Carolina ETV and SC Public Radio as President and CEO. As autumn approaches, we welcome the season of change and renewal, unveiling an array of new programming features that promise to entertain, inspire and provoke thought. 

Dear ETV Endowment Member, 

The United States is so diverse — with its varied geography, medley of foods, numerous languages and dialects and myriad cultures — that many people are only familiar with a small fraction of the scope and depth of our country's rich character.

Dear Viewers and Listeners,

As students and families settle into another school year, public media will continue its work to create enhanced learning opportunities outside the traditional classroom. Our educational programming - whether for early learners, teens and tweens or young adults - can help shape the minds of our youngest supporters by introducing them to new places, showcasing various viewpoints and affirming their experiences. 

Dear ETV Endowment Member, 

Programs broadcast on public television and public radio are filmed and recorded in diverse locations around the world. 

Dear Viewers and Listeners,

This month, we're inviting our viewers to spend their weekends with South Carolina ETV. Our schedule highlights weekend programming that's designed to excite, educate and entertain throughout July. 

Dear Viewers and Listeners, 

Our world is full of unique voices that all have stories to tell. The complexity of perspectives and the ability to value differences and contribute to the enrichment of our communities. This month, SCETV amplifies programming that highlights the rich cultural strands of our state and nation. As Winston Churchill said, "diversity is the one true thing we all have in common. Celebrate it every day."

Dear ETV Endowment member,

Offering high-quality cultural arts programming is one of the main goals of SCETV and SC Public Radio. There are thousands of live art, music, dance and theater performances throughout the country, but most people do not have the time, resources or geographical proximity to attend more than a small fraction of them. Our programs fill in the gaps!

Just weeks before the pandemic hit in 2020, Robert Lukey, a long-time ETV Endowment member, shared that he was starting to work on an estate plan to honor the memory of his late husband, Dr. John Covington.
