HOW TO WATCH

The Impact of Public Support – And A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Donors
Patrick Pearce, Director of Membership, Arkansas PBS Foundation  

The Arkansas PBS Foundation receives financial support from over 25,000 households across Arkansas and neighboring states. While commercial stations are beholden to advertisers and make decisions based on ratings, Arkansas PBS makes decisions with the viewers’ and our community’s interests in mind. That independence makes Arkansas PBS unique.

A word from the directors 

When we first started thinking about “Mystery League,” we had no idea that we would be working with the best film crew in Arkansas. We also had no idea we would be working with amazing filmmakers from around the country. We also, also had no idea that we would be working with an amazingly talented cast who would perfectly fit our vision for the show.
