Critical to this year’s election coverage efforts was Arizona PBS’ longest-running series, “Arizona Horizon,” covering news, Arizona politics and public affairs. Although “Arizona Horizon” is now in its fourth decade, the man that has shaped that program for much of the last two decades is Ted Simons, the show’s managing editor and host.

Watch “Arizona Horizon” weeknights at 5 p.m. on air or on our YouTube news channel, AZPBS Now, or catch full episodes online later or on the PBS app.
