Our Ohio Television: Season Two
Our Ohio started with new shows beginning Oct. 7 on all Ohio public television stations. In addition to the regular features from last year, two new segments are planned for season two. Some of the shows will take a brief look at a rural Ohio town. Martins Ferry, Clyde, Ripley, Bangs, Gallipolis and Wapakoneta are all on the list. Another new segment is called Discover Ohio, which takes a look at a piece of Ohio’s history or shares some Ohio "fun facts" with viewers. Subject matter for this segment includes Peters Cartridge Company, farm folklore and an explanation of silos. Visit OurOhio.org for more information about upcoming shows and air dates and times.
