When public television stations appeal to their viewers for support, they usually offer a small token of thanks for making a donation. Whether a yo-yo, stress ball, or chocolate logo, MPT’s promotional giveaways have often been whimsical. But serious premium items – DVDs of favorite viewer programs, instructional books, and apparel – have often been chosen by fans as ongoing remembrances of their time well spent with Maryland Public Television.
MPT’s first Auction on the Air in April 1970 raised $64,000
