 Time flies by when you are doing what you love. PBS39, state what PBS39 is, has been up and running for 50 years now and still leaves its audience as satisfied as when it first started.

 PBS39/WLVT has been providing families with joyous television programs since 1967. Along with their long list of attainments, PBS can now add 50 years of air-time to the bunch. PBS has planned many events including a 50th anniversary gala in order to celebrate this festivity. This will take place on November 4, 2017 at ArtsQuest.

  The gala entails special guest appearances along with awards. Good Neighbor Awards will be recognizing those who have served PBS tremendously throughout the years. Advisor to the Delaware Museum of Natural History and CEO of PPL Corporation, Bill Spence, mentioned how he felt about PBS reaching this achievement.

 "For 50 years, PBS39 has been part of the fabric of the Lehigh Valley," said Spence.

 PBS continues looking forward to this celebration and hopefully many more.
