The Connection is a different kind of
TV show

We invite you to spend a half hour with us as we cover issues that affect every South Carolinian and offer progressive solutions.  Each week, we’ll ask, “How can we build a fairer, more compassionate state and world?” 

We’ll show you personal stories of courage and transformation, cutting edge leadership and innovative approaches that will inspire grassroots support for the best work going on in the state, provocative dialogue on social issues, and a network of citizens working to create a more inclusive community.

The show is taped on location and airs on local access cable channels and the Internet.  Our web site will enable viewers to connect with each other and provide direct support to featured causes.

The Connection, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, works through a spirit of affirmation and acceptance, promoting understanding, celebrating diversity, and presenting the human side of social issues. Click here to see our Guide Star report.

In covering the issues and the stories behind them, The Connection will engage viewers, accelerate social action, and foster connections with others as we work together to make SC an even better place to live.

Noncommercial television should address itself to the ideal of excellence, not the idea of acceptability—which is what keeps commercial television from climbing the staircase.

I think television should be the visual counterpart of the literary essay, should arouse our dreams, satisfy our hunger for beauty, take us on journeys, enable us to participate in events, present great drama and music, explore the sea and the sky and the woods and the hills.

It should be our Lyceum, our Chautauqua, our Minsky's, and our Camelot. It should restate and clarify the social dilemma and the political pickle. Once in a while it does, and you get a quick glimpse of its potential.
