We had a great time at Bemidji High School’s Career Day!

Students got a chance to try out our racing simulator, built by our own staff, and get behind the wheel of a Paul Bunyan Communications truck – virtually, of course!

It was a fun way to connect with students, talk about technology, and share some of the different careers available at PBC.

Thanks to Bemidji High Schoolfor having us!

We’re proud to support the Grand Rapids Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol and local youth participating in the CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Defense Competition!

Our donation will help fund specialized laptops for CyberPatriot training and competitions, giving students hands-on experience securing computer systems, identifying cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and defending virtual networks.

We’re excited to help local youth build valuable technology skills and explore future careers in cybersecurity and other STEM fields!

Service interruption of some individual channels on Paul Bunyan Television may occur during the afternoon hours through October 15 due to solar interference.

During the interference, your PBTV service reception may range from minor sparkles to loss of reception or picture freezing for 10-15 minutes.

Solar interference occurs each year in both the spring and the fall. It does not impact internet or telephone service.

What channels are affected and when will vary through October 15.
