On the Cover In the early months of WWII, over 75,000 U.S. and Filipino defenders at Bataan in the Philippine Islands were forced by the Japanese Army to march in horrific conditions to prison camps 60 miles away.

Already weakened by hunger and illness, they endured unimaginable physical and psychological abuse at the hands of their captors, and thousands perished or were murdered along the way. The Tragedy of Bataan (4/9, 9:30pm), a new local documentary by Jan Thompson, tells the stories of some of the resilient survivors. See pages 4-5.

WSIU-TV, FM TO BROADCAST GOVERNOR’S BUDGET MESSAGE Wednesday, March 10 • 12pm

Making the Case for Over-the-Air Television

I

ncreasingly there is a demand for high bandwidth services delivered via mobile devices and carried with us wherever we go. Already most locations across the nation can subscribe to broadband services at home with video, internet, phone, and more. Now spectrum is needed to transfer these services to mobile devices, and the spectrum presently occupied by terrestrial broadcast television has been deemed ideal.

Recently, the Federal Communications Commission sought public comment on the effective use of broadcast spectrum, specifically the space used by broadcast television stations like WSIU/WUSI: “After a review of the responses to the Spectrum for Broadband Public Notice, we seek more specific data on the use of spectrum currently licensed to broadcast television stations. This inquiry takes into account the value that the United States puts on free, over-the-air television, while also exploring market-based mechanisms for television broadcasters to contribute to the broadband effort any spectrum in excess of that which they need to meet their public interest obligations and remain financially viable. This inquiry also seeks to understand what processes and incentives could ensure continuing spectral efficiency gains for broadcasters going forward.”

There is little debate that broadband applications are beneficial to our society – and with regard to future technology, all that is mobile is gold. But does the broadband revolution have to come at the expense of over-the-air broadcast television?

The nationwide switch to digital television resulted in viewers temporarily losing reception of one or more stations they previously received for free, over-the-air. With a little effort, most people can again pick up stations they previously enjoyed with an antenna, but some have given up out of frustration and migrated to pay TV services. As more Americans sign up for these services, an argument is now being made that free over-the-air television is no longer needed. However, just because viewers can get a pay TV service doesn’t mean they want to or should be required to in order to have access to television.

During the current economic downturn, we’ve begun to see viewers returning to free TV (now with multiple digital channels). In our region, there are still places where pay TV service simply isn’t an option. On May 8, 2009, many of us were relieved to fire up the old antenna and have access to news, information, and even a little entertainment.

Decisions will be made in the coming months and years that may have a dramatic impact on how you view television and what it will cost.

I encourage you to educate yourself on this issue and to share your views with your elected officials and with WSIU. Greg Petrowich Executive Director WSIU Public Broadcasting greg.petrowich@wsiu.org

overnor Pat Quinn will go before a joint session of the Illinois General Assembly this March to deliver his annual budget message, and Illinois Lawmakers will offer live coverage and reaction from legislative leaders from both parties to public broadcasting stations statewide.

The speech will be broadcast live on WSIU-TV and WSIU Radio, with a repeat at 10:30pm on WSIU-TV only.

“Given the state’s dire fiscal situation, everyone with a stake in the operation of state government will want to know how the Governor plans to dig Illinois out of what could be a nearly $13-billion hole,” says WSIU-TV producer Jak Tichenor, host of the statewide series on the Illinois legislature. “K-12 education, state colleges and universities, health care providers, social service agencies, and literally hundreds of state programs are in danger because of the huge gap between state revenues and spending,” Tichenor said.

“Just about all of Illinois’ 12-million residents will be impacted to one degree or another by what happens, or perhaps more importantly what doesn’t occur, during the spring session.”

Governor Quinn pressed unsuccessfully for an income tax increase last year after taking office following the impeachment and removal of former Governor Rod Blagojevich. Quinn hinted at the need for new revenue during his “State of the State” speech in January, but stopped short of giving specifics while in the midst of a heated Democratic primary battle with Comptroller Dan Hynes. If Quinn asks for higher taxes again this spring, Tichenor says the Governor’s job will be even harder given the fact that every member of the House and a third of the Senate are up for re-election in November.

“No one wants to throw their opponent any red meat by voting to hike taxes in an election year, no matter how much the state’s bills keep backing up and how many programs have to be slashed for lack of money,” says Tichenor.

Founded in 1986, Illinois Lawmakers is the state’s longest running television series covering the Illinois General Assembly.

Local Documentary Explores

The Tragedy of Bataan

M

ost Americans understand the historical significance of December 7, 1941, the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. While this traumatic event forever changed the American psyche and led to the U.S. entering World War II, most people are unaware that the Japanese bombed nearly eight other locations in the Pacific during this same time period, including the Bataan peninsula in the Philippines.

“People know about Pearl Harbor and when the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but they don’t know as much about what happened between those two events,” says local filmmaker Jan Thompson, an associate professor in the Department of Radio-Television at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

The Tragedy of Bataan, the first of a threepart TV documentary series produced

by Thompson, captures the fall of the Philippines and the Bataan Death March as told through the first-hand accounts of 16 Bataan survivors. The other two programs will focus on the prisoner of war (POW) experience and hell ships, unmarked Japanese freighters used to transport American POWs.

the documentary series. “Like many former soldiers and POWs, my father never talked about his experiences,” she says. “But, he did go to POW reunions, and I joined him. Over the last 17 years, I’ve interviewed 65 people, but it’s taken the last two years for me to find the right voice to tell their stories.”

The Tragedy of Bataan begins in early 1942.

As Japanese forces advanced in the Pacific, most of the islands began to surrender, except for the Philippines. “U.S. and Filipino defenders retreated to the Bataan peninsula to wait for reinforcements and supplies from the U.S., but that help never came,” says Thompson. Hungry, in poor health, and fighting with outdated weapons, they were no match for the Japanese. On April 9, 1942, now known as “National POW/MIA Day,” U.S. and Filipino defenders were surrendered by General Edward P. King, Jr. And so begins the tragedy of the Bataan Death March. “After being surrendered, the men were marched 60 miles away to Camp O’Donnell on the western side of the peninsula,” says Thompson. Exhausted, sick with diseases like malaria and dysentery, and weak from lack of food and water, many of the men died along the way. Worse, their Japanese guards were brutal and unforgiving, bayonetting, beheading, and shooting men if they stumbled or fell, tried to get a drink

of water, or help each other. Although there are conflicting reports on the total number of casualties, it is estimated that between 5,00015,000 of the 75,000 men did not survive the journey to Camp O’Donnell.

During Thompson’s interviews with survivors, including the oldest living survivor of Bataan, 104-year-old Albert Brown of Pinckneyville, Illinois, she noticed it was often a challenge for the men to recall their experiences. “Some memories varied, but one thing they all remembered clearly was that they were surrendered.”

Consistent themes also emerged during Thompson’s conversations with survivors.

“Many of the men said it was survival of the fittest,” says Thompson. “They packed the middle columns while marching, so they wouldn’t be targeted, mentally blocked the atrocities they witnessed, and developed a strong buddy system.”

Survivors of the march and the prison camps were forever changed by their experiences, often dramatically so. “When they returned home, many of the men craved normalcy,” says Thompson. “They married quickly, but a lot of those marriages did not last.” The psychological abuse the men endured, in many cases, was left untreated and affected the men throughout their lives. story continues on next page

Thompson will discuss her documentary series on a special WSIU InFocus on Friday, April 9 at 9pm, which will be followed by The Tragedy of Bataan at 9:30pm. Both the InFocus interview and the documentary will repeat on Sunday, April 11 at 12:30 and 1pm, respectively. A companion five-part radio series also will air on WSIU Radio (see article on the next page).

The Tragedy of Bataan: Radio Features he says. “We recorded a song, added a rerecorded version, and then combined it with a script with intense war sounds. The ambience is added to these other layers.”

With its emotional testimonies from Bataan survivors and former POWs, Thompson’s documentary series stands as a powerful history lesson for younger generations, including SIUC students who are assisting with the production.

Tommy Lareau, a senior from Watseka, Illinois majoring in Radio-Television, has been developing graphics for the show’s title sequence. Before he got involved with the project, Lareau had little knowledge of the story of Bataan. “All I really knew [about Bataan] was that something very bad happened,” he says.

Now Lareau says he’s gained significant knowledge and insight about Bataan and hopes others will learn from the documentary, as well. “People will see that these men went through incredible hardships,” he says. “Yet, they didn’t give up. Instead, many of them survived and have lived on to tell their stories. It’s pretty inspiring.”

Thompson, who currently serves as president of the Descendants Group, an auxiliary of the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor, says that completing the documentary series has become both her passion and her destiny. “These men are heroes, and I am committed to their stories for the rest of my life,” she states.

“What happened on Bataan should not be forgotten…and it should not be repeated.”

L

ed by Radio-TV associate professor Phylis Johnson and teaching assistant Kelly Caringer, the students in Johnson’s Advanced Audio Production class have been working around the clock since the first day of the spring 2010 semester to create the sound design for Jan Thompson’s five Tragedy of Bataan radio features.

“Each piece is between 5-6 minutes long,” says Johnson. “With the project due on February 16, we had to hit the ground running in order to meet the deadline.”

Brandon Smith, a senior from Centralia, Illinois majoring in Radio-Television, with a minor in art, says each sound piece is comprised of music, sound effects, and ambience. “Our sound effects group has been working on the fourth radio segment,”

Caringer, a teaching assistant and graduate student from Herrin, Illinois working on his doctorate in SIUC’s College of Mass Communication and Media Arts, says most of the sound has been manufactured by the students and completed in the College’s audio labs. “We’ve done a lot of work in the anechoic chamber, a recently renovated audio research suite that’s completely isolated from the outside world,” he says.

Illinois, produced by Pruett and Mike Covell, a retired Cinema & Photographer professor.

The program tells the story of 100 years in the history of this colorful and sometimes controversial community.

In order to manufacture sounds appropriate for the radio features, the students have tapped in to their creativity and resourcefulness. “To create the sound of marching, we had students walk on paper,” says Caringer. “Last week, we recorded 14 people shouting war sounds.”

One of the biggest challenges of the project has been organizing such a large group of students, says Caringer. “You are bringing a group of people together with different skill sets and at different levels of ability, then trying to get them to collaborate. It’s been an intense experience, but it’s also been very rewarding.”

The Tragedy of Bataan radio features will air on WSIU Radio April 5-9; exact times are TBA. Stay tuned for details.

UNDERWRITER PROFILE Illinois Eastern Community Colleges

Clockwise from top left: Frontier Community College, Lincoln Trail College, Wabash Valley College, and Olney Central College. Photos: IECC.

I

llinois Eastern Community Colleges (IECC) is a community college system in southeast Illinois, offering certificates and Associate Degrees in Transfer and Career and Technical Programs. The IECC system consists of four colleges: Frontier Community College in Fairfield, Lincoln Trail College in Robinson, Olney Central College in Olney, and Wabash Valley College in Mt. Carmel. Several of IECC’s associate degree and certificate programs can be obtained online. IECC also provides workforce education training statewide.

According to Pam Schwartz, Associate Dean for Institutional Development, “IECC’s mission is to provide excellence in teaching, learning, public service, and economic development. We believe that WSIU Public Broadcasting also embraces a similar mission in their excellent selection of programming for the public, and like IECC, does so at a very effective cost.”

IECC helps to underwrite WSIU-TV’s student-produced Scholastic Hi-Q, a competitive game show featuring regional high school scholar bowl teams. “This type of programming reinforces the IECC mission and supports our local high schools in their educational endeavors,” says Schwartz.

“It was a perfect fit for IECC to sponsor Scholastic Hi-Q, and the reaction from the community about our WSIU sponsorship is always positive.”

Scholastic Hi-Q airs on WSIU-TV Sunday evenings from September through May, with repeats the following Sunday

morning. Reflecting upon the importance of community support for WSIU, Pam says “Public broadcasting offers a wide range of programs that support education, the arts, excellent documentaries, and children’s educational programs without the influence of product advertising or commercials.”

When asked which programs she or her colleagues enjoy on WSIU she replies, “I imagine that IECC staff and employees personally enjoy many of the WSIU programs. I know several of our faculty members use the programs as teaching tools for their classes. A few of my own favorites are Masterpiece Theatre, Antiques Roadshow, and the recent National Parks documentary, as well as the science programs. I am also enjoying the Julia Child series once again, as I was a diehard fan the first time around. It is just too hard to narrow it down to a few programs to list!”

More information about each of the Illinois Eastern Community Colleges can be found online at www.iecc.edu.

A Healthy Day For You (or Someone You Love) H E A L T H H ealthcare and healthy living issues are a key focus for WSIU’s programming and community outreach initiatives, which is why we are proud to co-sponsor the annual Women’s Teen Health Conference, which was held on Saturday, February 20, and the upcoming Southern Illinois Men’s Health Conference, scheduled for Saturday, March 20. Both conferences are at John A. Logan College in Carterville. A Southern Illinois Women’s Conference will follow on September 18.

On March 20, all men over the age of 18 are encouraged to register for the 2nd Annual Southern Illinois Men’s Conference where they will have the opportunity to learn about special health issues, including sleep physiology, cardiovascular disease, prostate and colon health, healthy habits, relationships, and financial planning.

Registration includes free health screenings for vision, hearing, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, cardiovascular risk assessment, skin cancer, and more. Plus, over 30 exhibitors will provide information about men’s health services in southern Illinois.

Lunch is also included. You can register online at www.simenshealth.org or call (618) 985-9210. Seating is limited, and pre-registration is required.

Be sure to visit the WSIU table, where we will distribute health programming and educational materials. These will include an expanded list of public media web resources that invite participants to learn more about a wide variety of topics, from news and public affairs to history and health-related issues, as well as educational issues aimed at teachers, parents, and caregivers.

TV Master Control Goes Digital

I

t’s said that good things come to those who wait – and thanks in large part to the financial contributions of WSIU’s supporters, and the hard work and patience of our technical staff – the wait will soon be over for TV Master Control’s digital transformation. For the past two years, WSIU has steadily forged ahead on efforts to transform TV Master Control from a manual analog system into a fullyautomated, state-of-the-art, server-based facility that will control the operation of our three digital television stations 24 hours each day.

“The video/audio installation of our new automation package is nearing completion,” says Terry Harvey, WSIU’s Technology and Planning director. “In addition to being able to locally program our own digital channels, including inserting local programs, station breaks, and messaging, we’ll also be able to control all of our TV station operations.

This includes the recording and delivery of high-definition (HD) and standarddefinition (SD) broadcast programming, and storing and managing of our on-air video assets in a computerized media database.”

Located on a computer server in TV Master Control, the media database will allow for much more efficient data management. For example, by communicating directly with the database, WSIU’s broadcast traffic/scheduling office will be able to coordinate on-air schedules for programming, recordings, station

and program promos, and underwriting announcements. The server-based system also will allow for high-speed file exchanges, as well as more reliable data preservation and longevity. Efforts also are underway to transfer our local media assets from beta videotape to the new media database.

WSIU’s Engineering, Master Control, Traffic, and Information Technology staff will receive hands-on training with the new digital equipment, but the learning curve will likely continue over the next year as we fine-tune the system.

“It will take time to train staff on the equipment and to help them adjust to their new roles,” says Harvey. “We’ll be replacing outmoded operational practices related to TV Master Control with operations that are much better suited to our new computer-based video/audio infrastructure.”

Terry Harvey, Technology and Planning Director, points out server equipment which allows WSIU to record and play back program content without using tape machines.

It’s been 10 years since broadcast stations were tasked with full conversion to digital by the Federal Communications Commission. As we approach this next phase in our television operation, we look forward to enhanced service to our viewers both in terms of overall quality and in terms of service to the community.

Through wider choice in program offerings and greater depth in terms of subject matter explored, WSIU will continue to meet the needs of the region as your PBS station.
