New "Main Street" episodes have also been produced on a variety of Wyoming topics and points of interest such as the Tour de Wyoming bicycle tour; Devil's Gate; Molesworth Furniture; the photography of Sara Wiles, the Warren Air force Base, and Wyoming basketball greats.

 Photography of Sara Wiles Sara Wiles began taking pictures of Northern Arapaho people as
a social worker on the Wind River Indian Reservation. The photos were a
chronicle and a gift to Indian families; now they tour art galleries and
museums across the country. Wiles retains her close ties to reservation
friends and families, even as she breaks new ground in her effort to use
photographs to tell the stories of people and cultures. |

 Tour de Wyoming Every summer, while the stars of the Tour de France

stalwarts soaking up the scenery and soaking their jerseys over 300-plus
miles of bicycling. On the 10th anniversary of the Tour de Wyoming,
Wyoming PBS gets taken for a ride. |

The state became a laboratory for telephonic experimentation, welcoming barbed wire phone lines and the world’s first broadband wireless internet network. These are the people who dialed the state in and accelerated its conversations. These are “Wyoming’s Communication Pioneers”. |
