Joint Statement Regarding WNET and Independent Film

PBS, WNET, ITVS, Independent Lens and POV are working together in partnership over the next four months to develop a national strategy to raise the profile for independent film on public television and to reinforce PBS as the home for indies. Together, we will be hosting a listening tour with independent filmmakers across the country to engage producers, stations and other stakeholders in the process. While these discussions are underway, WNET will continue its broadcast of Independent Lens at 10 PM on Mondays on THIRTEEN.
