Lexington, Ky. — Florida Tile is underwriting the Public Broadcasting System TV series “Built To Last.” The 13-episode series for 2014 went into distribution the first weeks of November in time for winter program guide listings. The show was expected to make initial airings among some PBS TV stations starting as early as mid-November with the majority airing in January 2014. Series host Jana Petersen takes viewers behind the scenes of residential and commercial building, exploring both the history and the future of the skills, materials and technology used to build the structures.
Seasons two and three of “Built to Last,” set to launch in late 2013 and early 2014, expand on the basics presented in season one, providing an insider’s view of the construction of an energy efficient home in “Built to Last: The Green Home” and renovating existing buildings for modern efficiency in “Built to Last: Retrofit.”
