WIPB in the Community
WIPB is proud to be part of a dynamic, diverse community.
Our connection to east central Indiana goes beyond our television broadcast to include projects and activities that reflect and serve our distinctive region. Local activities, community projects and education workshops are some of the ways WIPB brings our viewers into contact with each other and our community's rich resources.
Featured Project
Community Discussion >> June 17, 2009 from 2-4pm at Minnetrista
Join WIPB-TV for a thought-provoking afternoon as we offer a public screening and discussion of the program American Experience: The Alaska Pipeline. This program outlines one of the greatest engineering feats of the 20th century. For more than three years, workers battled brutal Arctic weather to construct an 800-mile pipeline that would withstand earthquakes and subzero temperatures.
