Donnybrook Last Call

Donnybrook
The show that gives new meaning to the word "debate." See what happens when five quick-witted, highly opinionated St. Louis journalists disagree on tough topics. This is not another dry, tame talk show. On Donnybrook, the issues are hot and so is the discussion. It's a high-energy, no-holds-barred debate on the week's news topics. With tongue-in-cheek, Donnybrook's subtitle is "polite conversation on the issues." With host Charlie Brennan, the conversation is highly opinionated and not always "polite." The panel of regulars tackles tough issues and controversial subjects. The opinions are well-informed and widely divergent.
Tune in for Donnybrook Thursdays at 7 pm on Nine PBS and livestream. Stream after broadcast on the PBS app or online below. Watch Donnybrook Last Call on YouTube, Thursday nights at 7:30 pm.

Remembering Ray Hartmann
The entire team at Nine PBS, along with past and present Donnybrookers, are shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Ray Hartmann. Ray was a cornerstone of St. Louis journalism and a foundational voice of Donnybrook, but most of all, he was our beloved friend.
For nearly four decades, Ray was at the Donnybrook roundtable, rarely missing a week, delighting viewers with quick-witted and highly opinionated conversations about issues shaping our region. As a co-creator of the program in 1987, Ray helped establish Donnybrook, earning a devoted audience and national recognition as one of the most-watched local public affairs programs in the country.
Nine PBS extends our deepest condolences to Ray's family, friends, colleagues, and the many viewers who welcomed him into their homes each week. Ray’s impact on our region and our work will stay with us always.
Watch Donnybrook: Remembering Ray Hartmann on Nine PBS and livestream on Thursday, April 30, 7:30 pm, with encores on May 2, 6 pm, May 3, 5:30 pm, and May 4, 12:30 am. Streaming on ninepbs.org/donnybrook and the PBS app after the premiere broadcast.
