Ever wonder if there’s a way to get a sneak peek of what’s airing on KAMU-TV and KAMU-FM? There is… and it’s free!
At the beginning of every month, we compile the best upcoming TV and FM programming and send a free email newsletter to our subscribers. It’s a great way to stay up to date on your favorite returning shows, learn about new ones and keep in touch with what’s happening at Aggieland’s Public Television and Radio.
SUBSCRIBE TO OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
We know you might be wary of adding another email to your inbox that’s likely already overflowing with promotional emails. That’s why we’ve put together this newsletter preview: to give you a taste of exactly what you get when you sign up. There are no gimmicks here – just programs we enjoy that we think you will, too. And you can unsubscribe at any time.
*Note: a screen-reader-friendly version of this newsletter preview is available at this link.
Newsletter Preview
Featured Item
Each newsletter starts with the most important thing we want you to know about the upcoming month. It can range from a new, highly anticipated series to a message from KAMU’s General Manager Kelly Brown, as seen below.
We provide a few notes and an airtime, if applicable. We add several links for the program, content or announcement to help you learn more.
Featured This Month
In this section, we share a few appetizers: short mentions of our TV, radio and podcast recommendations for the month. Whether you like to watch or just listen, there’s always something you can tune in to.
Tune in to Watch
Next, you’ll receive several recommendations for shows to watch on KAMU-TV. Our selections span genres and airtimes to suggest something for everyone. Once again, we’ll provide a few notes, the show’s airdate and time, and a link or two if you want to learn more.
Featured on 90.9 KAMU-FM
If you’re a KAMU-FM fan, this section is for you. Although our radio lineup doesn’t change as much as our TV lineup, we always have one recommendation or announcement to share. Sometimes it’s about a show we think you’ll like, and other times it’s a reminder of new ways you can engage with KAMU-FM and KAMU-Classical/HD-2. We’ll provide a few notes, the airdate and time, if applicable, and a link to learn more.
Featured on PBS KIDS
There’s even a section for the kiddos! Here you’ll find the latest updates on PBS KIDS shows, which can be watched on the PBS KIDS app anywhere, anytime. Again, we’ll provide insight like the release date and time, if applicable, a few notes and a link if you want to learn more.
KAMU in the Community
We love seeing our Brazos Valley community at local events. In this section, you’ll find a brief schedule of the events KAMU is attending each month. We’ll provide a day, the location, the name of the event and a link where you can find the time and other important details. Come out and see us!
Featured Shows in KAMU Passport
Our newsletter wraps up with three staff picks for exciting shows to watch on KAMU Passport. These are a mix of already popular shows that you can binge immediately and new, niche shows that we think you might enjoy. Passport is a wonderful KAMU membership benefit, received by donating at least $5 per month or $60 per year — unlocking our monthly picks and thousands more.
In Conclusion
The monthly newsletter is the best of KAMU-TV and KAMU-FM in one free email, sent once a month. Spend less time searching through our schedule or website or resorting to Google to find answers about what to watch. We keep it simple and give you the information you need to know about each show and announcement we’re making. It’s our way to say thank you to our donors, subscribers and fans across the Brazos Valley.
