A MARTÍNEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martínez. The USS Enterprise is now available for virtual tours. "Star Trek's" iconic starship has been brought to life through a web portal. It explores its different versions throughout time using a 360-degree 3D model. Now, one downside - the models do not have any characters in them. It's just about the ship. However, six decades since the original series premiere, the fandom continues to live long and prosper.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
