The Edison Society

WMHT's Most Outstanding Supporters

Of the thousands of people who support educational public broadcasting in the area, WMHT has always had a special group of friends with the vision, means and commitment to make public broadcasting a philanthropic priority.

The WMHT Edison Society recognizes those who support the inherent promise and critical mission of public broadcasting with annual investments of $1,000 or more. The Society's vision and generosity ensures the financial stability necessary to continue the innovation and excellence in broadcasting first pioneered by Thomas A. Edison, who developed the carbon microphone later used in radio broadcasting some 130 years ago.

Join the Edison Society today and enjoy an array of rewarding benefits, including:

• Access to a video lending library of WMHT programs.

• Access to invitation-only events at WMHT Studios.

• Exclusive opportunities to join peers and PBS/NPR personalities at events.

• A quarterly insider's update from WMHT President Robert Altman.

• Private, guided tours of WMHT Studios.
