This Week on CPTV Passport

CPTV Passport is an added benefit for valued donors of public television. With CPTV Passport, you can enjoy past episodes of many of your favorite PBS and CPTV shows on demand using your computer, smartphone, or tablet. To find out more about CPTV Passport, click here.

A note about CPTV and PBS Passport

Starting July 1, 2026, accessing Passport will require donations of $8/month or $96/year.

Passport had been available at $5/month or $60/year since launching more than a decade ago. But when Congress eliminated federal funding for public media, it shifted more of the cost of sustaining Passport to donors. Increasing the threshold is how we keep Passport available on your devices, loaded with great shows, and commercial free.

Thank you for supporting Connecticut Public
