ThinkTV has been producing programs for and about the Miami Valley for over 40 years. Our historical documentaries, public affairs, arts and cultural programs continue to inform, educate, enlighten and engage.

We will continue to tell “our stories.” The stories of “our cities,” “our viewers” and “our history”—slices of time that remind us where we’ve been and where we are going.


Recollections from family and friends along with photographs and rare home movies celebrate the life and career of one of America’s best loved humorists.  Phil Donahue narrates.
