Your Arizona Conexión starts here
Arizona PBS is now offering the state’s Latino community a new way to connect with important news stories, learning resources, kids programming and other fun opportunities – Conexión. A monthly e-newsletter and webpage, Conexión is led by Horizonte host Catherine Anaya and will also feature information about upcoming Arizona PBS and other community events.

Connecting with Catherine Anaya
I would like to invite you to watch “Horizonte” on Arizona PBS at 6 p.m. on Saturdays, online on azpbs.org or on the PBS app.
Join us for discussions about the Hispanic electorate’s growth and its impact on U.S. elections, about Latino representation in Hollywood and more as we examine issues of particular interest to Arizona’s Hispanic community.
Until next time,
