We believe that no program conveys our state's expansive and diverse attractions and its rich heritage as effectively as OUTDOOR IDAHO. The U.S. Bancorp Foundation couldn't be prouder than we are of our role as an underwriter for a program that consistently delivers on its promise of showcasing Idaho's beauty and richness.

Education and Idaho Public Television's Mission

Idaho Public Television strives for impact and measures success by the ability to educate and inform, to enlighten and entertain. The statewide system provides:

  • More than 120 hours of first-quality educational children’s programming each week on both the main IdahoPTV channel (digital sub-channel 1) as well as the HD channel (digital sub-channel 2).
  • A monthly classroom calendar for teachers.
  • Overnight educational programming on weeknights for classroom use or professional development; multilingual programming for early childhood to adult learners.
  • Overnight telecourses on weekends offering college credit.
  • Life-long learning and enrichment opportunities on the Learn/Create Channel (digital sub-channel 3) and the World Channel (digital sub-channel 4).

Awards

Idaho Public Television’s award-winning production team continues to be recognized regionally, nationally and internationally — some 40 awards by mid-year. Leading the honors in 2009 is an Edward R. Murrow Award for a documentary on astronaut Barbara Morgan, which also took top awards in four other national and international contests. The OUTDOOR IDAHO 25th Anniversary show garnered a regional Emmy award and topped its category for its creative excellence at Worldfest, Houston International Film Festival to achieve a Special Jury Prize. The D4K Website, an interactive science site for elementary students, also took top category honors at Worldfest in Houston.
