Dear Friends, Our community and staff have come together in big and small ways since the COVID-19 outbreak. I continue to believe that we become more of who we really are in times of crisis—and we have shown ourselves to be the amazing, talented, community-focused organization and people that our region needs us to be! Nine is an essential service and our team has risen to the challenge, working remotely under stressful personal and professional conditions. We are doing everything we can to support at-home learning for children and adults. Our unparalleled PBS KIDS content has been streamlined into an Educator and Caregiver Toolkit to help children, parents, and teachers navigate these complicated times. We’ve changed our afternoon schedule on Nine World to be more focused on educational content for middle and high school students. We’re airing some of Ken Burns’ epic documentary series as part of our History Nights on Thursdays. And, we’re continuing to show some of the best arts, drama and science content on television. We have managed to keep Donnybrook on the air, and as lively as ever, via video conferencing with the five panelists at home. And, in April, we went to a one-hour program to accommodate news about the pandemic. Donnybrook is available to watch on TV, nineNet.org, YouTube, and as a podcast.
our YouTube channel, and on our Facebook page. You can find everything from the symptoms of coronavirus, to where to connect to trusted resources, along with tips for working from home, and Nine’s role during the pandemic. And of course, we’re telling stories about the helpers, the amazing people and organizations in our region that are helping our community get through challenging times. During this time, Nine Network has been a source for trusted reporting of the facts, a place to retreat and get away from the stresses of the day, and a provider of educational programming and learning resources. This issue provides schedules for smart, entertaining, commercialfree content on all four of our broadcast channels. For facts on the virus, please go to nineNet.org/coronavirus. We are seeing higher than usual audiences on all our platforms, which reinforces the essential work we are doing. It is because of all of you, our loyal members, that we can continue to provide these programs even through turbulent times. Thank you.

Q &A with
Amy Shaw
On February 3, Amy Shaw was named the first female president and chief executive officer in the 65-year history of Nine Network. A native of St. Louis, Shaw had worked in a variety of posts since joining Nine in 2003. She was promoted in 2010 to senior vice president of community engagement and, ultimately, added chief content officer to her role. Upon President and CEO Jack
Q: What was your first reaction to getting selected president and CEO of Nine Network?
A: It was my great honor to be chosen. I competed
hard for the position. I had the luxury of knowing what a wonderful team we have, so I was excited for us to move forward. But I do admit there was a brief moment when I allowed myself to reflect back on my childhood, and how I would come home with my parents from mass on Sunday, and the first thing we would do was turn on the TV and watch European League Soccer on Nine. My lifelong connection to Nine made this even more special.
Galmiche’s untimely death on April 16, 2019, Shaw led the station on an interim basis. Then came the pinnacle of her career: “After
Q: Even though you had run the station for
a rigorous and extensive nationwide search,
many months as interim CEO, it must be quite a challenge to face the crisis of the coronavirus pandemic so early in your tenure. What is that like?
we are proud to announce that Amy Shaw will be taking the helm of the Nine Network," David Steward II, chair of the Nine Network Board of Directors, announced. "She has done exceptional work as interim CEO and we are excited for her to lead the station.” We sat down with Amy to discuss her plans for Nine Network. 4
May–June 2020 | nineMagazine
A: Actually, in an unfortunate way, we had been
prepared to react quickly to crisis when Jack, who I had worked with closely for 12 years, passed away so suddenly. That was a very difficult and tumultuous time for our team, and everyone pulled together with such an amazing effort to move forward. I was very proud of them then, and I still am now. nineNet.org
Q: What did you take away from that experience? A: I like to say that in crisis you become more of who you
really are. And in crisis, I would say Nine is more of who we really are, which is community connected, supporting our youngest learners in particular, and supporting all the people in our community. Our team is pretty special, and I think people in the community knew that, and if they didn’t, they certainly do now.
Q: What would you say has been your top priority in serving that community in these difficult times?
A: Our top priority is serving the educational needs of our
children, which really means returning to the origins of why the station was founded when we first went on the air more than 65 years ago in September 1954. We went on the air to educate children via TV. Teachers would roll a TV into the classroom, and there was probably only one in the building at that time. They would gather the kids around the TV and there would be special programming on air for kids to learn the core subjects. That just grew and grew and grew. Nine back then, KETC, was a huge innovator in that space and we are known as an innovator to this day.
Q: And you had to do all this in a pandemic? A: It is quite a logistical challenge, because the team is
practicing social distancing, people working from home—in many cases, taking care of their own children—and putting in long hours to get the job done. I’m so proud of what our team was able to do in such a short period of time. The toolkit is just one example. Every person in the organization has played a role in supporting the community through this crisis. As Mister Rogers says, in a crisis, look for the helpers. At Nine, we’re helpers.
Q: So almost overnight, you were able to create the Educator and Caregiver Toolkit, among the other resources you’ve brought together?
A: It was really quite extraordinary. It’s online at
nineNet.org. All of the resources are readily available, they’re free, high quality, trusted, and they’re aligned with state learning standards. Everything is designed to help all kids learn. We’ve never had a time like this when everyone was home, with parents having to work while trying to care for their children and manage their learning at the same time. This has really been new territory for everyone in the country and the world. nineNet.org
Q: How did you update that role for the crisis presented by the coronavirus pandemic?
A: Actually, one of the first things we did was
get on a call with some education leaders in the region: school superintendents, folks from the charter community, curriculum and instruction people. What we heard very clearly from them were three key things: One, educators were very concerned about access to resources, meaning that while lots of children have really good internet access, there are many children who don’t; two, was that they were very concerned about children from pre-K to grade 4, because while our older kids were likely accustomed to doing some form of distance learning, our youngest children really aren’t; and third, the education leaders told us: you’re really going to need to help parents feel OK about this, because they’re not used to this, it’s whole new territory and you need to tell parents to go easy on themselves and to manage expectations.
Q: That’s a tall order. What was your strategy for doing all that in a hurry?
A: Very quickly our team took all that
information and pulled all these highquality resources we have available: Nine PBS LearningMedia which has over 30,000 video resources, lesson plans, and printable resources, all aligned with state standards for both Missouri and Illinois. We mobilized to create an Educator and Caregiver Toolkit, taking the resources we already had out there, but pulling them together in a way that was readily digestible. And we also focused on doing everything we could to support our most vulnerable children. We produced on-air messaging with our staff that were educating their children at home so our audience could see that we’re all in this together. For access to our Educator and Caregiver toolkit:

Amy gives remarks at the PBS KIDS Edcamp for Early Childhood Educators last fall at Nine.
Q: Technology helps with that, doesn’t it? A: It certainly does. Most of the more than 40 PBS
KIDS® apps for kids and parents on mobile devices and tablets are free. These apps are based on quality PBS KIDS’ shows, like Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Clifford, Molly of Denali, and Wild Kratts. These are great tools, they’re trusted, and things kids can learn from. We’re trying to help parents relax a little bit. This can be a time of exploration for our kids. Their lives have been disrupted just like their parents. They’re missing their friends. These tools are a great way for them to learn, but also to enjoy themselves.
Q: Along with the renewed focus on local service to children and their parents in these difficult times, a large part of Nine’s mission continues to be delivering PBS’ solid lineup of favorite programs. What’s the show people are asking about the most?
A: People are clamoring for the next season of Victoria
on Masterpiece. There have been three seasons of Victoria, and not long ago, we ran a marathon of those seasons to give people a little extra comfort. Victoria has been such a wonderful show for us. There will be a fourth season, but it hasn’t gone into production yet. Believe me, when we get information on that, you’ll be the first to know. People need comfort right now, to see familiar faces, whether it’s with Victoria or local shows like Donnybrook.

May–June 2020 | nineMagazine
Q: It was good timing that you were able to the offer The Polio Crusade: American Experience in that same vein, wasn’t it?
A: I have to be candid: American Experience is
my favorite public television show. I know it’s like your children, it’s hard to pick a favorite. The Polio Crusade was so timely. This was a time when Americans banded together. This was a terrifying thing for families and children and those that went through it, just like FDR. It’s something that’s very germane to our times, but a lot of people won’t have remembered it or had a connection to it. This is the type of content we feel passionate about bringing to our audience because you’re learning something, but you’re also being entertained in the process.
Q: PBS also has received a little extra help from the great Ken Burns during the pandemic, correct?
A: Yes, Ken Burns has been such a great friend
to us, and he’s offered full access to his content, so we’ve been running “History Thursday” nights starting with The Roosevelts. When The Roosevelts first aired on Nine Network, we did gangbusters, but I have to say that Nine Network always does great with Ken Burns’ content. St. Louis loves Ken Burns. It has been a great way for people to learn and to be connected with some high-quality storytelling at this time.
nineNet.org
Q: It sounds like much of what you’re doing today is informed by what you’ve learned during your time at Nine?
A: It really is. I think there’s a communal experience with public television. The media landscape is changing rapidly with new technologies and the availability of content; Nine must evolve, too. So much of viewing is done through streaming and DVRs, which is great, but there is something to be said right now about how people have been watching TV as a community. People are seeking reliable information from an institution they trust and Nine Network is tailored for that no matter how people consume our content—onair, online, or via their phone. We take our cue from the community, because we’re part of the community. Just like we always have been. Amy with David Newell (Mr. McFeely) from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.
Q: You obviously have quite a history with the station. What were your favorite shows as a kid?
A: I loved Zoom and Sesame Street. My parents were big fans of Channel Nine, so I can tell you I spent every Sunday night on the couch with them watching Masterpiece. I was reared on Upstairs, Downstairs and the classics, and my dad was a big fan of This Old House, so we watched that a lot.
Amy with her mother, June Saxton, on the steps of her grandmother's home.
Q: You seem to view your role at the Nine Network as staying focused on the future, while staying true to its history. Would you say that, in a lot of ways, you’ve come full circle in your lifelong relationship with Nine, starting as a child and now serving as its leader?
Amy with her mother, June Saxton.
A: I think that’s a good way to look at it. I don’t
want to give away my age, but I grew up in a time when there wasn’t cable, not until my teens, so there were only a few channels, and Nine was very important to my family. My dad, who passed away some time ago, would have been delighted, and my mom, who we just recently lost, was beyond proud that I’m leading Nine.

The National Parks: America’s Best Idea Filmed at nature's most spectacular locales, like Acadia, Yosemite, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon, this Ken Burns’ docuseries is, nonetheless, a story about people. People from every conceivable background—rich and poor, famous and unknown, soldiers and scientists, natives and newcomers, idealists, artists and entrepreneurs—who were willing to devote themselves to saving some precious portion of the land they loved, and in doing so reminded their fellow citizens of the full meaning of democracy.

Black America through MLK, Parts 1 & 2
The Gilded Age: American Experience
Thursday, May 14 & 21, 8 pm
In the closing decades of the 19th century, during what has become known as the Gilded Age, the population of the U.S. doubled in the span of a single generation. The nation became the world’s leading producer of food, coal, oil, and steel, attracted vast amounts of foreign investment, and pushed into markets in Europe and the Far East. As national wealth expanded, two classes rose simultaneously, separated by a gulf of experience and circumstance that was unprecedented in American life. These disparities sparked passionate and violent debate over questions still being asked in our own times: How is wealth best distributed, and by what process? The Gilded Age presents a compelling and complex story of one of the most convulsive and transformative eras in American history.
In this two-part series, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., embarks on a deeply personal journey through the last 50 years of African American history. Joined by leading scholars, celebrities, and a dynamic cast of people who shaped these years, Gates travels from the victories of the civil rights movement up to today, asking profound questions about the state of black America—and our nation as a whole.

Educator and Caregiver Toolkit PBS KIDS educational programs and resources have always been the gold standard in kids programming. It was recently mentioned as a high-quality resource in new guidelines for parents by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The Nine PBS Educator and Caregiver Toolkit at nineNet.org/learningtoolkit provides free learning opportunities for educators, parents, and students. This toolkit was created with guidance from education leaders from across the region. The toolkit has broadcast, online, and mobile resources, as well as learning tools and tips that can be text messaged to phones. It includes a broadcast and streaming schedule of kids’ programs available by targeted ages, learning goals, air times and links to PBS KIDS apps. The toolkit is especially useful for learners in kindergarten through grade 4, but it also has resources for other grade levels. New things are added weekly. These resources help build social and emotional learning, literacy, STEM, social studies, and fine and performing arts skills for children across the St. Louis region. Supported by Emerson.

George W. Bush: American Experience George W. Bush was one of the least prepared presidents in our history, yet faced some of the greatest challenges, says filmmaker Barak Goodman. Not since Lincoln has such an inexperienced leader been called upon in a moment of genuine existential crisis. The two-part film looks at how Bush evolved in office under these pressures —at first struggling mightily, but later finding his feet—illuminating not only his character, but the evolving nature of power and the presidency in an increasingly dangerous world.

Viral: Antisemitism in Four Mutations Antisemitism in the U.S. and Europe is rising and worsening in ways not seen since the 1930s. The film examines the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA. In Hungary, a campaign against Jewish Holocaust survivor and billionaire George Soros that's reminiscent of Nazi propaganda. Moving to the far left in England, we see members of the traditionally anti-racist Labour party conflating Israel and Jews. And, in France, a seemingly endless wave of violence against Jews by Islamists and radicals. A virtual screening on June 4 is supported locally by Holocaust Museum & Learning Center and Staenberg Family Foundation. Details at nineNet.org/events. Tuesday, May 26, 8 pm

Roots of ’Ulu
Seafaring Polynesians brought 'ulu, or breadfruit, to Hawaii 1700 years ago. It was a staple of the native cuisine for generations, until Western contact brought hamburgers and french fries—and diabetes and obesity. Could a return to traditional foods reverse these trends? Monday, May 4, 8 pm
Finding Samuel Lowe
Three successful black siblings from Harlem discover their heritage while searching for clues about their long-lost grandfather, Samuel Lowe. Their emotional journey spans from Toronto to Jamaica to China, reuniting them with hundreds of Chinese relatives they never imagined existed. Sunday, May 17, 9 pm
Resistance at Tule Lake
Resistance at Tule Lake tells the long-suppressed story of incarcerated Japanese Americans who defied the government by refusing to swear unconditional loyalty to the U.S. Though this was an act of protest and family survival, they were branded as “disloyals” by the government and packed into the newly designated Tule Lake Segregation Center.

In a polarized America, women of color are claiming power by running for political office. Made by a team of women filmmakers between March and November 2018, the film asks whether democracy itself can be preserved—and made stronger—by those most marginalized. The stories of five candidates are revealed as they interact with voters, conduct embattled campaigns, and balance work and personal lives. June 29 & 30, 9 pm

These resources are free, high quality, trusted, and they’re aligned with state learning standards.
