At STL, Rockbot Partners with Nine PBS to Bring Living St. Louis to The Airport TV Network

Rockbot replaces CNN Airport TV Network with customized local content to enhance the traveler experience

ST. LOUIS (June 21, 2021): At St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL), Rockbot, the company that created the revolutionary smart music and TV platform for businesses and airports across the country, has partnered with PBS’s St. Louis-based affiliate Nine PBS (KETC) to bring its long-running, popular series Living St. Louis to the Rockbot Airport TV Network.

 Living St. Louis, which debuted on Nine PBS in 2004, is designed to highlight the diverse people, places and cultures that make metropolitan St. Louis an interesting and thriving area. The series runs daily on Rockbot Airport TV Network throughout STL at 11 AM and 3 PM.

“St. Louis Lambert International is the gateway to St. Louis so this unique series is the perfect program for travelers visiting here,” said Robert Salarano, STL Airport Properties Division Manager. “We are delighted to be working with Rockbot and Clear Channel as they are providing passengers with more engaging content that will inform and enhance their experience both in the airport and throughout the greater St. Louis area.”

“By partnering with Nine PBS, we are bringing local content to our airport network that showcases the history and culture of St. Louis,” said Garrett Dodge, CEO, Rockbot. “Previously, video content featured on airport screens consisted primarily of national news, but with the Rockbot Airport TV Network we are looking to elevate the traveler experience by featuring content that is entertaining, informative and applicable to the local area. Living St. Louis is the epitome of that objective.”

“Living St. Louis is a staple of Nine PBS and a favorite of our viewers,” said Matt Huelskamp, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Nine PBS. “Now, thanks to the Rockbot Airport TV Network, our content will be available to the nearly 16M travelers who fly through STL every year.  It’s wonderful visibility for the series and for Nine PBS, but most importantly, it shines a light on the city we love.”

Rockbot Airport TV Network recently announced its partnership with Clear Channel Airports (CCA), the leading airport media provider in the U.S., to replace CNN’s now-shuttered airport TV network. St. Louis Lambert International Airport is one of the first airports to make the switch to Rockbot’s new network launched under this partnership.
