We have experienced a broadcast interruption at our transmitter site that services a large part of Central Southern Colorado. This includes the Salida region as well as the entire San Luis Valley—including Lake George, Coaldale, Del Norte and San Luis. We are actively working to assess the point of failure. Thank you for your understanding and support! Our live stream is also available online and on the RMPBS+ app.

Totally Terrific Duck/A Star Is Born

Bear is going to paint everyone's picture today, and Duck wants to look "totally terrific" for his portrait. Not to worry!

Instead of singing the word "star," Duck freezes and blurts out the first thing he sees!
