Arkansas TV announces local lineup

Arkansas TV announced a new slate of original programming that will premiere in July. The new locally-produced content was set in motion earlier this year when the public television network opted to end its affiliation with PBS – a move that was officially reversed earlier this month.

The new programming schedule can be found at arkansastv.gov/schedule, watch live at arkansastv.gov/live, and find full episodes and additional content on the Arkansas TV YouTube channel at youtube.com/@arkansastv.

“We are returning to our local roots with a renewed focus on programs made for Arkansans, by Arkansans,” Arkansas TV Executive Director and CEO Carlton Wing said. “These shows and others to come are a wonderful complement to our existing national and international content, fulfilling our mission for educational programming. We aspire to serve lifelong learners of all ages throughout Arkansas. Viewers will see more relevant, educational programming highlighting our state and delivering programs designed to inform, inspire and educate.”

The new programming includes:

“Naturally Wild with Steve ‘Wild Man’ Wilson” premieres Thursday, July 2, at 6 p.m.
