Columbus Neighborhoods, the Emmy® award-winning documentary series and community engagement project, will become a weekly television magazine show premiering Thursday, October 6 at 8:30pm on WOSU TV.
Now, it is pivoting from an occasional, in-depth historic documentary series to a weekly program that will explore life – then and now – in Columbus and central Ohio. And along with public forums, and segments designed for application in the classroom, this website will be an extension of the community conversation inspired by Columbus Neighborhoods.
Recurring segments in the new series include “Driving with Jeff Darbee” where an architectural historian takes viewers on a personal tour of historic buildings; lunch conversations with show hosts Charlene Brown and Javier Sanchez who chat with civic leaders at locally-owned eateries; and “From the Vault” featuring hidden collections at Ohio History Connection.
The new weekly show will be paired with WOSU Public Media’s arts and culture show Broad & High in primetime on Thursday nights. Broad & High will start the local hour of programs at 8pm and then will be followed by Columbus Neighborhoods.
