Arkansas is a state of striking contrasts and hidden treasures, from rolling hills to winding rivers, from bustling cultural centers to quiet historic towns. The beauty of The Natural State truly comes alive when you explore it through the lens of its seasons.
Arkansas TV is serving up something delicious this spring with the premiere of its all-new, Arkansas-produced series “Taste Buds,” debuting in March.

“One of the things that I think was important to our production team on ‘The Arkansas Traveller’ was that we were all born and raised in Arkansas, and we all loved Arkansas,” former Arkansas Education Television Network senior producer Dale Carpenter said. “The stories of the show were introduced by John Reeder. We’d take him to a location in Arkansas, and he would introduce the various stories for the program that week. Our closing was always the same.
For many Arkansans, the holidays aren’t complete without the familiar sounds of fiddles, guitars and voices raised in harmony. “Ozark Mountain Christmas” captures that feeling perfectly – a snapshot of Ozark culture, community and music at its most heartfelt.

“Arkansas’s historic bridges speak to us in different ways,” Tommy Sanders narrates at the beginning of the film. “To some, they sing. To some, they bang. To some, they whir. They stand as a testament to a time when practicality was a union of strength and beauty. To an artist, the bridges connect the present to the past and people to a community and a sense of place.
