"On the Road" is a collection of stories from across the region, broadcast at various times throughout each day. The stories, each just a few minutes long, highlight local personalities, businesses, organizations and events, all interesting subjects and cultural treasures from our own communities.
"We are the region's story teller and community square," said James Baum, Blue Ridge PBS President and CEO. "With "On the Road," we will share stories about our local history, arts and culture-stories that truly make this region special."
By airing "On the Road" stories multiple times on a daily basis, Blue Ridge PBS is able to add significant local content to its programming schedule. It also helps the featured subjects, giving them a voice and reach that magnifies their effectiveness.

Blue Ridge PBS visited the Booker T. Washington National Monument in Hardy, VA as part of the station's "On the Road" series. Check out the video, which includes students and teachers from Roanoke's Lucy Addison Middle School. The school's visit and video productions about this historic site were supported by a grant from WETA.
