Each of the TED TALKS LIVE programs will be filmed and broadcast as three one-hour specials to premiere on PBS in Spring 2016.
Weve been dreaming of this for a while, said TED Curator Chris Anderson. It's one thing to watch a TED Talk online, but quite another to spend a full evening with our speakers. Thats not just discovering a single idea, but an additive, powerful experience. Until now, live TED Talks have usually been limited to people willing to come to a four-day conference. Its exciting to be able to offer them to a much broader audience in New Yorks Theater District. It offers people a night out like they may never have experienced before. One that can give them new mental tools theyll own forever.
Each evening will feature TED Talks, short films, music and storytelling from some of the most talented brains in the country. As a producer, its hard to imagine a more exciting opportunity than bringing TED to public television. We're grateful for the tremendous support of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, PBS and ITVS. Together were able to curate a week of great ideas brimming with humanity and passion that will translate into terrific television, said Juliet Blake, producer of TED TALKS LIVE and TEDs Curator of Special Projects.
Public media inspires and educates Americans every day. This partnership builds on the innovative PBS-TED collaboration, sponsored by CPB, called TED Talks Education, which premiered in 2013 as part of the public media's American Graduate: Let's Make it Happen, said Pat Harrison, president and CEO of CPB.
PBS has always offered a wide range of programming that speaks to individuals looking to not only be informed, but also inspired, said Marie Nelson, Vice President News & Public Affairs at PBS. We are proud to partner with TED and ITVS to elevate these important conversations and bring them to a nationwide stage through PBS stations, station-branded digital platforms and PBS.org,
