Pay what you can
$36 a year is suggested, and nobody is turned away for lack of funds. Cards are made in person at PPTV events around South Minneapolis.
Your card comes from a person, not a website.
A volunteer makes it at an event, links it to your email and birthdate, and hands it over. After that the card is your account: type the eight digits or scan the square, on any device.
- Chat during live shows
- The recordings
- Sending clips and music for between shows
- Making a show of your own

Questions
- What does it cost?
- Whatever you can give. $36 a year is suggested, and zero is fine.
- Can I sign up online?
- No. Cards are only made in person, at the monthly event or wherever PPTV is tabling.
- Why do you need my birthdate?
- It sets the under-18 rules above. It is not shown anywhere or shared with anyone.
- Do I need an email address?
- Yes, so the station can reach you and replace a lost card.
- Can I watch without joining?
- Some of it. Public recordings and breaking broadcasts play for anyone. Everything else needs a card to sign in with, even one past its year.
- Lost card, or a code that will not work?
- The station replaces and unlocks cards at the next event. Ten wrong tries lock a card for an hour.
