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
“Horizonte” will be back in the fall. On behalf of myself and our team, I cannot thank you enough for sharing your Saturdays with “Horizonte” on Arizona PBS, online on azpbs.org, and on the PBS app.
We love hearing from you and appreciate your continued support!
Until next time,
