It’s June again, and that means it’s time for our annual question: Will Illinois ever have a budget again? At this point, I don’t think anyone can safely say for sure, but I do know that we will continue our work in this community with your continued support.

Our inaugural WILL Marathon event in April was a huge success, with us flying past our fundraising goal of $100,000 to a final personal record of $132,000 raised in just 26.2 hours. We also made 117 new Friends, and if this is your first issue of Patterns, welcome!

We hope to continue this positive momentum.

If we reach 1,200 new Friends by the end of our fiscal year on June 31, we will be in great shape to qualify for the second half of our Newman’s Own Foundation matching grant, specifically geared to encouraging new support.

I know I’m preaching to the choir when I say how important it is to support public media, so I’m asking you to spread the word. Share our posts on Facebook, tell your friends about your favorite shows, and crank up the radio at work.

Encourage everyone to support local public media, and remind them that every bit helps.

As we close in on the end of the fiscal year, we are keeping a close eye on our fundraising results. Since the state and federal funding situations remain unclear, support from our Friends is especially important. While we’ve had a strong year so far, we are currently about $200,000 away from reaching our goal. In this issue, we’ve included an envelope in case you are in a position to make a gift to help us finish strong.

Thanks for always having our back.

Drama from France to Britain The multi-award winning British crime drama The Tunnel returns for a second season, titled The Tunnel: Sabotage, an eight-part series that begins at 8 pm Saturday, June 17.

by a vast field of debris, forging connections as they go, they are confronted with sinister and complicated forces at play. In a terrifying game of brinksmanship, they risk everything in the pursuit of true justice.

The pragmatic, meticulous, and newly promoted Commander Elise Wasserman, played by Clémence Poésy, and laconic but brilliant DCI Karl Roebuck, played by the International Emmy Award-winning Stephen Dillane, return for the second season of Ben Richards’ series.

“Season One of The Tunnel found a dedicated hyper loyal fan base on PBS stations with its thrilling storyline and stellar cast,” said Beth Hoppe, Chief Programming Executive and General Manager, General Audience Programming, PBS. “We are extremely excited to be bringing back this crime drama for a second season this summer, with even more enthralling plot lines and twists.”

In The Tunnel: Sabotage, the investigative pair reunites to examine the case of a French couple abducted from the Eurotunnel, leaving behind their traumatized small daughter, Chloe Fournier. The case becomes complicated when a plane carrying British and French passengers crashes into the Channel killing everyone on board.

Suddenly the duo is faced with far bigger questions, and people are waiting for answers. As Wasserman and Roebuck pick their way through the clues thrown up

Full episodes of The Tunnel: Sabotage will stream for free starting Thursday, June 15 and be available for two weeks on all PBS platforms, including PBS.org and PBS apps for iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Chromecast. Following the two weeks, Friends of WILL can view The Tunnel: Sabotage via Passport.

Paul Simon’s headlining set at the 2012 Hard Rock Calling Festival took a rapt audience in London’s Hyde Park on a trip through Simon’s extensive songbook, from “The Sound of Silence” and “The Boxer” to “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” and “Late in the Evening.” The performance also features vibrant renditions of “You Can Call Me Al” and “The Boy in the Bubble” from his landmark album Graceland, in honor of its 25th anniversary.

Enjoy Paul Simon: The Concert in Hyde Park at 7 pm Saturday, June 3.

Old technology with new sound

In American Epic: Sessions, Jack White and T Bone Burnett invite today’s greatest artists to test their skills against the long-lost machine that recorded their musical idols and forebears by rebuilding a 1920s recording device, timed by a weight-driven system of clockwork gears.

Stripped of the comforts and security of modern technology, the artists have three minutes and one chance to get their music etched into the surface of a revolving wax disc before the weight hits the floor. Airing at 8:30 pm Tuesday, June 6, the sessions were conceived as a sonic experiment–an attempt to recreate the conditions of the early record company field teams. The result is a series of remarkable performances by familiar artists forced to meet the standards of their heroes.

Going back to basics and capturing the energy of a unique live performance in the grooves of a rotating wax disc, these recordings are heard exactly as they were made: “lightning in a bottle.”

The ultimate classic Sgt. Pepper’s Musical Revolution at 7 pm Tuesday, June 6 is a look back at the creation, and ongoing influence, of the revolutionary 1967 Beatles album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

When The Beatles stopped playing live in 1966, they suddenly had the time to pour all of their energy into writing and recording, creating an album that was a performance unto itself. Released in 1967, after what had been essentially a media blackout on what the band had been up to, the album was immediately a sensation and was recognized as a new chapter, not just in rock music, but in the history of all music. Hosted by British television presenter Howard Goodall,

Sgt. Pepper’s Musical Revolution will use visually striking elements to conjure up the psychedelic world of Sgt. Pepper, provide context for the culture of the day, and show how the album was a driving force within that culture. It will also highlight how contemporary projects, like Beyonce’s Lemonade, would be unthinkable today had The Beatles not completely upended the whole concept of what an album should be. And for the Beatles fan in all of us, the show will offer up material that has been squirreled away for decades, known only to a handful of people at Abbey Road Studios, including recordings of studio chat, and isolated instrument tracks and vocals.

For better or worse Weddings of Downton Abbey is designed to rekindle the romance and drama surrounding the weddings of Downton Abbey.

For all six seasons, the relationships of the couples on Downton Abbey have had us celebrating, commiserating, and above all, sharing their most vulnerable and very best moments. This celebration, hosted

by Hugh Bonneville, includes some of the most romantic and touching wedding scenes from across the seasons of Downton Abbey.

Premiering at 8 pm Sunday, June 4, the special features brand-new interviews from Julian Fellowes, Gareth Neame, and

Liz Trubridge, the show’s creative team who brought these relationships to life, as they discuss and reveal their insights on the romance and storylines, along with a careful selection of cast interviews from the Downton Abbey archive.

Spanning the idyllic pre-war era through the storms of The Great War into the roaring 1920s, there have been many crucial relationships both upstairs and down in the great house. As the world around them undergoes extraordinary change, love affairs within the sumptuous house continued to be marked by passion, ambition, and heartbreak.

Illinois Public Media gains a star baker Illinois Public Media welcomes Erin Lippitz to the staff as the major gifts director. Lippitz, originally from Bourbonnais, moved to Champaign-Urbana in 2003 and shortly after began work as a graphic designer for The News Gazette.

Nine years later, she was named the executive director of the Champaign Center Partnership, a not-for-profit organization that provides marketing and promotion opportunities for its members in the downtown, midtown, and campustown area. “My time with Champaign Center Partnership gave me the opportunity to meet so many people in the CU area. I worked with the local business owners to produce and market events that promoted local pride and spending, including the Parade of Lights held annually.”

Lippitz’s work with local businesses makes her an excellent fit for public media. “I know how important it is to engage with your local community, whether that be through shopping local or supporting your local radio and TV stations. I played classical violin through my childhood, so I often listen to our station’s classical music broadcasts. Plus, my husband and I regu-

larly tune in to Create. So I’ve long been a consumer of public media.”

For Lipptiz, the highlight of WILL’s programming is the Great British Baking Show. “I remember making cakes with my mom when I was a little girl–baking, decorating, eating! When I moved to this area, I took every class I could in fondant, sugar work, and buttercream. Now I make cakes and cookies for all our family birthdays and events. So naturally, Great British Baking Show is a must-watch in our house. I’m so excited for the new season!”

Welcome to the staff, Erin!

Not only is this partnership a great opportunity to bring the show into Chicago, but as an alumna, Boodhoo is eager to be back at the

Graduate School to work with their student journalists. “We have had the good fortune in the show’s first year to have access to some incredibly talented student journalists through the University of Illinois. I love the idea of being able to build on that by doing the show from another place where graduate students are learning the craft of journalism,” said Boodhoo.

“This partnership brings the broadcast and production of The 21st right into our learning space, making it a dynamic setting for our students as they work side-by-side with a distinguished journalist and alum,” added Bennett.

This coincides nicely with The 21st joining the WNIJ 89.5 FM daily lineup, airing weekdays at 11 am. Northern Public Radio is now offering listeners a chance to connect with others from all corners of the state.

“WNIJ is very pleased to collaborate with Illinois Public Media and other public radio stations across the state to bring listeners the news and issues facing residents of Illinois,” said Staci Hoste, director

and general manager of Northern Public Radio. “As a network of public media stations, we’re in a unique position to bring our listeners greater depth and breadth of statewide coverage resulting from this kind of collaboration.”

For Northern Public Radio, the addition of The 21st results in a refreshed programming schedule designed in accordance with WNIJ’s mission to share ideas, encourage thought, give pleasure, and create community.

WNIJ is now the fifth public media station to broadcast The 21st, joining WILL, WGLT in Bloomington-Normal, WUIS in Springfield, and WCBU in Peoria.

The 21st team is enthusiastic for the upcoming months and what is to come in the second year of the show. “As always, my main professional focus has always been and remains on The 21st and working with my team of producers and interns to create the very best daily, statewide talk show we can for our Illinois audience,” concluded Boodhoo.

During the summer months, Boodhoo will also receive treatment for breast cancer, a diagnosis she received just a few months ago after her first-ever mammogram. “Early detection, almost certainly, saved my life. I’m so thankful to my doctors, nurses, and medical team.”

Boodhoo remains focused on The 21st. “Like many other Americans, especially women with breast cancer, I plan to continue to work through my treatment,” she said. “I am so thankful to be surrounded by wonderful family and friends, as well as incredible coworkers, who have been so supportive.”

Moss Bresnahan echoes the sentiment. “Of course, with Niala being an important part of the WILL family, we stand with her during this time.”
