Celebrating 60 Years of Public Television in Idaho
Cheers to Sixty Years!
From ambitious early efforts in Pocatello and Moscow to a statewide, multichannel broadcast and streaming network, Idaho Public Television has served the Gem State with one mission in mind: to educate, inform and inspire all Idahoans.
Here's a chance to look back at 60 years of public television milestones as we plan for a future where we continue to tell Idaho's stories in innovative and creative ways.

Norma Jean Fisher (Aunt Jean) was a longtime supporter of Idaho Public Television and included IdahoPTV in her estate plans. Her family carries that legacy forward, by encouraging others to do the same.
For every completed gift intent form received, all donations (no matter the size), will be amplified by the Norma Jean Fisher Trust, making an additional contribution.
Support the joy of discovery, the beauty of storytelling and the value of learning at every age by donating to IdahoPTV during our 60th Anniversary Celebration in 2025.
