Detroit PBS Gets A New Home And A New Name

Those in Windsor or who get Detroit TV on cable may notice the change. And talk about pledge week - they now own an entire block in Motown!

Detroit Public TV changes name, buys a block in Detroit for its future headquarters

Was raised on some of WTVS' programming on cable... I could understand why they moved out of the old WJBK studios in New Center, but not why WTVS moved all the way out to Wixom of all places.

This will make the station another one back in Detroit proper; NBC affiliate WDIV has always been downtown, on West Lafayette, while the rest are out in the Southfield area.

This has been a trend for PBS stations in the past few years. WNED’s logo got modified to read WNED PBS, and in Seattle KCTS 9 has been in the process of rebranding to Cascades PBS. In Los Angeles the PBS stations are now called PBS SoCal and PBS SoCal Plus (KOCE and KCET, respectively).
