It’s Festival time!
OETA's March pledge drive begins Saturday, March 1st and will last until Sunday, March 16th.
The funds raised during this time will enable OETA to purchase more programming for 2014 and beyond. Without pledge drives and support from viewers like you, we couldn’t bring you the programs you love, like DOC MARTIN, DOWNTON ABBEY, FRONTLINE and all of the wonderful, educational programs we broadcast during the day and on our OETA Kids channel.
We have quite a few new programs this year. Personally, I'm looking forward to the GREAT PERFORMANCES specials with Barbra Streisand and Pavarotti. I’m also looking forward to CLASSICAL REWIND and DOC MARTIN REVEALED.
Look on our schedules page to find a complete list of the Festival programs.
For those who are concerned about missing your favorite regular program, I've put this list together of when the programs will return and how you might be able to see any episodes you might miss.
