Kansas City PBS has added a new, locally produced show to its lineup. The Flatland show, named after the station’s digital journalism platform, is a monthly current affairs program that takes a deep dive into a single local issue that is raising questions, causing tensions or is curiously unexplored. It premieres Thursday, Sept. 16, at 7 p.m. on Kansas City PBS Channel 19.1, with new episodes airing on the third Thursday of every month.
