For the first time in 30 years, Télé-Louisiane launched 2 ground-breaking Louisiana French TV shows airing statewide on LPB:
La Veillée: the only weekly Louisiana French news documentary series
Les Aventures de Boudini et Ses Amis: the first and only Louisiana French cartoon series
Together, we have made history:
4 seasons
53 episodes
Over 20 parishes
10 million reached worldwide
Dozens of jobs created
$1.5 million in new investment in Louisiana
Thousands of students educated
Strengthening our language and culture for generations to come.
The funding for these historic programs has been cut for the next fiscal year starting July 1, 2024.
