How far in advance do you schedule programs?
PBS Utah schedules its programs about a month or two in advance.
Can you rebroadcast shows?

Does each program on PBS Utah only air once?
This is dependent on the show and its broadcast rights. We have the rights to re-air some programs 2 or 3 times, while other shows we are only allowed to air once.
Can I purchase a copy of the show you aired?
Many PBS and local PBS Utah productions are available for purchase. Check out Shop PBS Utah to see the PBS Utah productions and Shop PBS for PBS productions. Additionally PBS kids merchandise can be purchased here. Because of broadcast rights issues, some productions that have been aired (other than those produced by PBS Utah) cannot be sold or distributed.
