Daniel Tiger - out and about in Chattanooga.

(Aired Tues 4/22/25)

What do Daniel Tiger and Lyla from “Lyla in the Loop” have in common?

You’ll find them on PBS, of course.

And on Saturday, you can meet them at WTCI PBS, as our public media partner hosts “Be My Neighbor Day”: a free, family-friendly event in the spirit of Fred Rogers of “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood” from 10 AM to 2 PM at 7540 Bonnyshire Road.

Robyn Stringfellow is manager of educational content and services at WTCI PBS.

Once again, students from our campus - the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga - are helping with “Be My Neighbor Day.”

Among them: Kambria Ichikawa, a junior - and Addison Middleton, a senior.
