Why Drupal was chosen: 

We chose to build the new site on Drupal 8 and to prioritize community-contributed modules. The site tightly integrates a variety of PBS APIs with station-level curation, personalization, and original content. We also built the site to serve APIs for future projects, such as Roku and/or Apple TV apps.

Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome): 
  1. Provide a first-class video viewing experience that meets user expectations and holds its own against industry giants 
  2. Attract and retain members, whose donations make Cascade Public Media possible
  3. Become the cornerstone of a digital platform that will extend into OTT, mobile, and wherever else TV audiences migrate
