It is no secret that media operations have changed significantly over the last 10 years across the spectrum of content providers such as PBS and PBS Fort Wayne. Still, for over a decade, the cost for PBS Passport access has been able to remain steady.
From the very beginning of the program, PBS Passport has been an additional way for us to be able to say “thank you for your support... value-added, in addition to any thank you gifts you might have selected for your donation to us.
But since the launch of Passport, the way streaming media has evolved across the board has become more expensive for everyone.
As a result, in order to provide you with the best content and service to your account as possible, soon, the minimum price increased for the first time in a little over a decade.
Beginning on May 30, the new minimum donation level for New Members has become $8/monthly or a single $96/annual donation to PBS Fort Wayne.Passport will still be a special thank-you gift for any donation made to PBS Fort Wayne at or above these levels.
For those of you who are currently Passport members, for the moment, nothing will change.Everyone who has signed up as a donor prior to May 30, 2026 will continue to stay as they are until the anniversary date of their of prior donation.
If you have any questions, please contact PBS Fort Wayne’s Membership Department via email at membership@wfwa.org or call us at 260-484-8839, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 AM -5 PM.
