Launched in April 1992, To The Contrary, Public Broadcasting's successful all-female news analysis series, is celebrating its 18th season on air. With women in the forefront of politics and on the cutting edge of national agendas, To The Contrary continues to provide an important, timely forum for women to discuss national and international issues and policies. It presents news and views that are rarely, if ever, available elsewhere on television.

With more women in Congress and the Cabinet, women's issues and perspectives are more high-profile than ever before. Americans have cast strong votes of confidence in women leaders and leaders who promote concerns embraced by women. To The Contrary, a leader in women's perspectives, will continue to make their voices heard throughout its tenth season of broadcast.

To The Contrary is produced by Persephone Productions. Airing on over 251 PBS stations nationwide, in Canada, and internationally on Worldnet Television, To The Contrary has built a solid viewer base over the past 15 years. Viewer response, media attention and strong carriage on national public television stations and elsewhere have all helped to confirm that the show does indeed fill a much-needed niche in American television programming.
