PREMIERING NEXT WEEK: AN ALL-NEW LPB TRAVEL SERIES
LA64
Premieres Monday, Feb. 2 at 8:00pm
For 50 years, Louisiana Public Broadcasting has served as the state’s storyteller — capturing the people, places, culture, and history that make Louisiana unlike anywhere else. That storytelling tradition expands in 2026 with the debut of LA64, a new LPB original series embarking on a five-year initiative to explore every corner of our state.
Premiering February 2026, LA64 launches 12 episodes in its first season, each one spotlighting a single Louisiana parish. Across five years and 64 episodes, the series will uncover the culture, customs, cuisine, festivals, folklore, and hidden attractions that define Louisiana’s identity.
Hosted by Louisiana native and travel journalist Karen LeBlanc, LA64 invites viewers to experience the state beyond the guidebooks. “LA64 is about discovery,” said LeBlanc. “Even as a native, I’m learning something new in every parish. Every place has a story worth telling, and this series gives us the time and space to really tell it.”
Rather than focusing on familiar tourist destinations, LA64 travels off the interstates and into small towns and communities, highlighting local culture bearers, everyday traditions, and stories that are often overlooked.
Executive Producer Linda Midgett noted that “the heart of Louisiana isn’t found only in its largest cities or most famous landmarks. It lives in small towns, in longstanding traditions, and in places people call home. LA64 invites viewers to rediscover that Louisiana.”
Education is a core component of the series. LPB Education will develop standards-aligned resources connected to LA64, with plans to share them through PBS LearningMedia, expanding access to Louisiana-centered content for educators and families nationwide. “Travel is education on many levels,” said Clarence “C.C” Copeland, LPB President & CEO. “Through LA64, viewers gain a deeper understanding of Louisiana’s history, geography, and culture through stories only LPB is positioned to tell.”
A signature part of LPB’s 50th anniversary year, LA64 reflects LPB’s continued commitment to serving the entire state, from its largest cities to its smallest towns.
New episodes of LA64 premiere Mondays at 8:00pm on LPB. Episodes will be available for streaming concurrent with their broadcast premiere at lpb.org/la64 and on LPB’s YouTube channel. Check local listings and lpb.org for encore broadcast information.
Support for LA64 is provided by the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism and by; the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area; the St. Landry Parish Tourist Commission; Northwestern University; the Foundation for Excellence in Louisiana Public Broadcasting, and viewers like you.
