» About Scenic Stops & Stories
Scenic Stops & Stories is a destination travel show produced by WBGU-PBS that originally ran from 2012-2015. It was brought back to life in 2023 with eight new episodes and continued in 2024 with eight more. This version is similar to its predecessor but adds a storytelling component to the program. Its goal, as always, is to showcase the narratives of the known and unknown regions of Ohio and parts of Michigan as well as highlighting the area’s top talent, landmarks and places of commerce including everything from artisans, entrepreneurs and historians to museums, theaters and zoos. Stops already are in the works for 2025.
You can watch the program Thursdays at 9 pm on-air or livestream at wbgu.org/live.
