Dear Friends, In September, we began the celebration of our 60th anniversary year with the opening of the Public Media Commons and the recognition of Ken and Nancy Kranzberg as the recipients of our 2014 Pioneer Spirit Award. The occasion was an inspiration to all of us and we were honored that PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger joined us to share such a significant moment in our history. We were also honored that Ray Wittcoff, our last living founder, traveled to St. Louis to be with us for the occasion. The presence of Ray and his wife, Roma, who served on our board for many years, made the event especially memorable. As we reflect on our history, I am struck by the continuity of our purpose and the quest for innovations that help us achieve our goals. Ray Wittcoff and his fellow founders exemplified that special combination of attributes. And we do our best to emulate them today. We are particularly proud of the Special Achievement Community Service Emmy we recently received at this year’s awards ceremony. You are an important part of the Nine Network —past, present and future. And we are thrilled at every opportunity to get to know you better. As part of our anniversary celebration, we invited all of you to share your memories of Nine over the last 60 years. It is gratifying to hear from so many of you who have been with us from the beginning. We have been touched by your stories. But I am pleased to note that we have also received some great stories from newer members.
We realize that many of you know us primarily through our on-air programming. But remember, the Nine Network is made up of a dedicated team of staff and volunteers working behind the scenes to serve you and our broad community. So please pay us a visit. We’d love to meet you. And remember, you can stop by the Public Media Commons any time from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. You’ll always find something exciting on view. But if you want to learn more or check our schedule of upcoming events, go to publicmediacommons.org. Again, thank you for your support. You help provide a significant value to our entire region. Our community is better because of your spirit of philanthropy. Yours truly,
Jack Galmiche President and CEO Nine Network of Public Media

ince its debut on television in 1989, Agatha Christie’s famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot has put his brilliant intellect and fastidious nature to the test as he solves the most mystifying crimes of the Art Deco era. Brimming with opulent 1930s period details and pitch-perfect performances, three final lavish adaptations will air November 25–27, followed on November 28 with a behind-the-scenes special, Being Poirot. Now 68 years old, actor David Suchet has been playing the character Poirot since he was 43. He told an interviewer for Indiewire.com that his continuity in the role was somewhat accidental because he was

never asked to sign an option. After each Poirot series ended, Suchet left to do other work. When producers wanted him again, they would call and ask if he was available. Luckily, he always was. This informal system worked to the advantage of the actor—and the audience. “Now...if someone had said at the beginning: We’re going to give you a character and we’re going to option you for 25 years...I’d have said no, because I couldn’t have worked outside it,” Suchet explained. “As a character actor I would have been stuck for a quarter of a century. But the fact that I wasn’t, now looking back, was a gift!” For legions of Agatha Christie fans, Suchet was the definitive Poirot. In his television blog for The Guardian, Mark Lawson perfectly described Suchet’s suitability for the role: “Since 1989, there have been three James Bonds, six Doctors [Who] and at least five Sherlock Holmeses on screen. But there has been only one Hercule Poirot.”

American Graduate, Phase Two
Nine Wins Emmy Awards
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) awarded grants to the Nine Network and public media stations in 33 markets across the country for the second phase of the national American Graduate initiative, which is led by the Nine Network. Nine will also continue local American Graduate efforts across the St. Louis region.
On September 27, a contingent from the Nine Network traveled to Kansas City for the Emmy Awards, and came back with two statuettes!
Over the next two years, American Graduate public media stations will work with their local communities to increase understanding about the challenges for at-risk youth and develop long-term solutions emphasizing the importance of a strong foundation in early education and the need for consistent caring adults. Stations will highlight local leaders who have helped communities increase graduation rates and the everyday heroes in a child’s life who are committed to improving education outcomes as “American Graduate Champions.” “After years of being a silent epidemic, the high school dropout crisis has come into the light. CPB and public media stations have played critical roles in raising awareness of the problem and mobilizing leaders at all levels behind solutions,” says John Bridgeland, CEO of Civic Enterprises and co-author of the 2014 Building a GradNation Report. 8
The Mid-America Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) presented Nine Network President and CEO Jack Galmiche with the Special Achievement Community Service Emmy for the station’s leadership locally of the American Graduate initiative. The Emmy reflects Nine’s body of American Graduate work on air in 2013, including the production and broadcast of American Graduate Community Town Hall, a live, hourlong special moderated by Ray Suarez. Nine has been leading both the local and national initiative, working with 75 public media organizations and more than 1,000 community partner organizations nationwide, including more than 50 in St. Louis alone. Jim Kirchherr and AnneMarie Berger won the second Emmy Award in the Special Assignment/Program/Special category for Open for Business, a report on where the Health Insurance Marketplace stood

Congratulations also to Catherine Neville, who won in the magazine program category for Feast TV, which airs the first Saturday and Monday of every month on Nine PBS; and Once Films, a local production company whose short films about unique people in St. Louis (the films can be seen on nineNet.org/Living St. Louis) won in the Interstitial category.

Volunteering to Support Education As a former high school English teacher, nursery school teacher and librarian, there are few things Judy Paskal loves more than good literature and good drama. So when Paskal and her husband, Nick, look for something on television, they usually watch great dramas on Nine PBS, such as Masterpiece Mystery!, Downtown Abbey or Doc Martin. The Paskals have been married for 36 years, and for 30 of those years they have been members of the Nine Network. Eighteen months ago, Judy Paskal also became a Nine volunteer.

Nine Seeks Your Memories For our 60th anniversary year, Nine is collecting memories from everyone— viewers, members, volunteers, interns, employees—who has been touched by our programming or work in the community. One of the oldest recollections we’ve received so far reaches back to 1952. Allan Kent writes that he was a high-school student inspired at his graduation by the words of commencement speaker Ray Witcoff, one of Nine’s co-founders, who described in his speech the coming of educational television in St. Louis. Sheila Climie Cawns shares a story from a few years later, when she and her father, a Scottish singer, were invited to perform on Nine’s children’s program The Finder. Their family didn’t own a television set, so when their episode was broadcast, they had to go to a neighbor’s house to see it. A couple, Bill and Fran, recall watching The Finder, too, as well as a college algebra program taught by a Washington University instructor. An email from Kathleen Meyer says she was only 5 or 6 years old when she nineNet.org

Scenes from Nine’s early days: (clockwise from top left) Nine’s fifth general manager Dr. Arthur Holly Compton (far right), a Nobel Prizewinning physicist; a teacher instructs at a blackboard in 1956; special guests Jim Henson and Kermit visit Nine’s The Letter People set in the 1970s; a Nine production, A Special Kind of Morning, was nominated for a national Emmy; before hitting it big, Steve Martin hosted a New Year’s broadcast at Nine.
One of the many good reasons to consider becoming a sustaining member of the Nine Network is that you’ll receive only one letter a year from Nine asking you to renew your membership. Nine, in turn, will use less paper and spend less money to mail you renewal notices. Most importantly, a sustaining membership is the perfect way to make a statement about the ongoing value of the Nine Network and express your commitment to independent, noncommercial media. For as little as $5 a month, you can be a sustaining member of the Nine Network and have your support automatically charged to your bank account or credit card.

Former employee William L. Groth Jr. tells about co-hosting a live, weekly, half-hour science program called Operation Explore that aired from 1959 to 1962. His most memorable guest was an 8-foot boa constrictor that “only weighed about 35 pounds” but still frightened the cameraman. Ninety-year-old Eileen Seiter worked at Nine through a temp agency for five months in 1982.

Bing Crosby (May 3, 1903–October 14, 1977) was, without doubt, the most popular and influential multimedia star of the first half of the 20th century. For more than three decades, through radio, film, television and records, he reigned supreme. Thirty-seven years after his death, he remains the most recorded performer in history with nearly 400 hit singles, an achievement no one—not Sinatra, Elvis or the Beatles—has come close to matching. A brilliant entrepreneur, Crosby played an important role in the development of the postwar recording industry. As one of Hollywood’s most popular actors, he won the Oscar for 1944’s Going My Way and starred in the iconic “Road” films with Bob Hope.

Bing Crosby’s family today: daughter Mary, wife Kathryn and sons Nathaniel and Harry (bottom).
American Masters: Bing Crosby Rediscovered (December 2, 7:00 p.m. and December 27, 9:00 p.m.) explores the legend of an iconic performer, revealing a personality far more complex than the public persona he so carefully cultivated. The new documentary is the series’ season 28 finale. Crosby’s estate, HLC Properties, Ltd., granted American Masters unprecedented access to the entertainer’s personal and professional archives, including never-before-seen home movies, Dictabelt recordings, photos and more. The film features new interviews with all surviving nineNet.org

Nine to Grow On

There’s a new group of detectives in town, and they call themselves the Odd Squad. Their adventures can be seen in the new, live action weekday series Odd Squad, debuting Wednesday, November 26 with two episodes at 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Odd Squad begins in its usual timeslot, Monday– Friday at 3:30 p.m., later that day. The high-tech Odd Squad agency, run by kids equipped with the world’s most advanced and unpredictable gadgetry, employs hundreds of kid agents. This is the story of two in particular: 12-year-old veteran Agent Olive (Dalila Bela) and her new rookie partner, Agent Otto (Filip Geljo). In each episode Olive and Otto receive a new assignment from the 7-year-old director of Odd Squad, Ms. O. (Millie Davis). Special agent Oscar (Sean Michael Kyer) runs the Odd Squad lab and provides gadgets to help Olive and Otto with their missions. Olive and Otto use math skills and collaboration to investigate weird and unusual phenomena. The young government agents turn to math to put things right when oddness strikes. Olive and Otto solve cases ranging from disappearing zeroes to runaway dinosaurs, and the 16

agents often find additional clues in the “Mathroom,” a futuristic space that is just a teleport away. The series is the creation of Tim McKeon and Adam Peltzman (who previously worked together on The Electric Company) and is produced by The Fred Rogers Company and Sinking Ship Entertainment. Kids at home will have the opportunity to solve cases and stop oddness, just like Olive and Otto and the rest of the Odd Squad, through interactive content online and on mobile. The show’s interactive features will include games, parent resources, mobile apps and more. “We are excited to bring a new math show to the PBS Kids lineup this November, particularly at a time when STEM education is proving to be so important,” says Lesli Rotenberg, general manager, children’s programming, PBS. “Research shows that kids perform better when exposed early to math concepts, and Odd Squad introduces these topics in a fun and engaging way. And as viewers join Olive and Otto on their extraordinary adventures, they will also learn the importance of working together, communication and perseverance— skills that are integral to problem-solving and success in school and in life.”

Guests have included Queen Noor of Jordan, former Secretary of State Warren Christopher, Ray Bradbury, James Ellroy, Sir Riddley Scott, Ron Howard, Linda Evans and Dyan Cannon.

Sundays, 10:00 a.m.
Choctaw Code Talkers Even though Choctaw American Indians were not recognized as American citizens in 1918, and the Choctaw Nation suffered many casualties during their forced relocation along the Trail of Tears in the 1830s, many volunteered to help the government during World War I. A small core of Choctaw soldiers foiled the Germans using their native language to transmit secure messages decades before code talking was used as an effective military weapon in World War II by the Navajo, Comanche and Lakota. This film combines original archival war footage and images with testimonies from the Code Talkers’ families, Choctaw tribal leaders, linguists, military personnel and historians. Thursday, November 6, 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.; Friday, November 7, 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.; Sunday, November 9, 11:00 a.m.
