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
