Subject: Media Inquiry: Petition to Restore "UNC-TV" Name for Stronger NC Connection

Dear [Reporter Name],

I'm reaching out from the "Restore UNC-TV" movement, a community-driven effort to bring back the beloved name of North Carolina's public television service. A new petition highlights significant public desire for the name to revert from "PBS North Carolina" to "UNC-TV," a brand deeply tied to local identity and history.

We believe this name change signifies a vital connection to North Carolina communities, fostering trust and engagement that the new branding may have diluted. The petition highlights nostalgia, local focus, and viewer connection as key reasons for the proposed change.

I've attached our press release with further details, quotes from supporters, and information on how to sign. We're available for interviews and can connect you with organizers and passionate North Carolinians.

Best regards,
