VPT stands out from other local Public Television stations. It offers a huge and vast variety of shows, both local pertaining to Vermont and New England as well as the popular classics, such as British Comedy, Antiques Roadshow, Frontline, and The American Experience. VPT spotlights Vermont politics,nature as well as Vermont's local northern flavor. VPT can be seen all over VT and NH as well as up in Quebec. I wish my local cable company offered it as I find the Boston PBS affiliates are not as local focused and creative. read more

Giving this one star only because we have to have a rating but this network deserves NO stars. They have "staff members" i.e.director of programing, director of membership, director of film selection, president of the network asking for contributions to the station every five minutes. In some of their spiels they talk about how "expensive" programming is yet all they show are the same programs over and over again. There are practically NO NEW SHOWS. So basically your donations are going to maintaining a staff who ask for donations, what a scam. How many times are you going to watch a cooking show where the chef just eats dishes in front of your eyes and rarely cooks--huh???????? And then this eating business is rerun again and again. You used to have rather amazing Masterpiece series--wonderful British comedies--not this time--months of seeing: As Time Goes Bye--much as we love Dame Judi Dench--it has been months of this!!!! By contrast NH PBS has some wonderful programming: an educational program on dinosaur tracks, some other archeological expedition programs, the new Midsummer Madness series and they do not have a staff begging for funds but rather the traditional telethon and the auction.Their approach it is just a bit more palatable. So very disappointed in VTPBS!!!! read more
