Why change how Prairie Public broadcasts channels?	Following the digital television transition, Prairie Public began broadcasting four channels instead of just one keeping the same or better quality than its traditional analog broadcast. In addition to our main channel and our high definition channel, Prairie Public now broadcasts the Lifelong Learning Channel (PPB4) and the Minnesota Channel (PPB3). This means more educational content for you and your students!
How can I watch the new channel?	To view the Lifelong Learning Channel (digital multicast channel PPB4), you (or your school) must have a digital television receiver and be able to receive over-the-air signals through an antenna. If you or your school has cable or satellite, your provider may or may not carry the new channels. Contact your company’s customer service department to find out.
So, on which channel is the Lifelong Learning Channel?	If you receive the digital broadcast through an antenna, the new digital numbering system means the Lifelong Learning Channel (PPB4) will appear as .4 on your television. For example, if you watch Prairie Public on channel 3, the Lifelong Learning Channel will be 3.4. The Minnesota Channel would be 3.3.
May I record these programs? And, if so, what are the copyright issues?	The rights and responsibilities to record and use the education programs aired on the Lifelong Learning Channel are the same as those for the programs aired on the early morning Block Feed.

Episodes of the following programs are currently guaranteed to air at least once a year on either the block feed or Lifelong Learning Channel. They may be recorded and retained for educational use as long as this guarantee remains in place.
