For 40 years, viewers have relied on “Arizona Horizon” for in-depth coverage of issues of concern to Arizonans. From state politics to national news that impacts our state, “Arizona Horizon” has consistently provided unprecedented, insightful public affairs programming.
Unlike conventional newscasts, “Arizona Horizon” goes beyond headlines and sound bites. The program’s format of pre-taped reports and studio discussion offers viewers an opportunity to explore all sides of each issue. Arizona Horizon reports examine a wide range of subjects including politics, consumer affairs, the environment, business, health concerns and social and legal issues.
While viewers remain our most important critics, Arizona PBS is proud of the many awards Arizona Horizon has received from such organizations as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the American Bar Association, Associated Press Broadcasters Association of Arizona and the Arizona Press Club. And the Arizona Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has honored Arizona Horizon numerous times with The Governors’ Award, its most prestigious Emmy.
