“Carolina Business Review,” a weekly business news show airing on PBS stations around North Carolina and South Carolina, is ending after 34 years.
Executive Producer Chris William writes, “In 1991, it started with a simple idea: put serious people in the same room, ask serious questions, and let the conversation do the heavy lifting. No shouting. No ‘gotcha.’ Just a weekly discourse about business, public policy, and what it all means for North and South Carolina.
“Since then, it’s grown into more than 1,650+ episodes across all PBS stations throughout both states — and, more importantly, a trusted place where leaders showed up prepared to explain, not perform.
“There’s a moment of clarity for me in the final episode: the quiet realization that this program has always been less about a set, a studio, or a schedule… and more about Public Trust. And the viewers who loaned us that trust, week after week.
“To every guest who came ready to engage — CEOs, economists, educators, community advocates, development leaders, public servants — thank you for respecting the audience. And to the team behind the cameras who made ‘weekly’ look easy (it isn’t), thank you for making the work matter.”
