The Digital TV Transformation: One Year Later

t’s been nearly one year since the entire nation officially switched off analog television and switched on digital television full time. After June 12, 2009 (the day all full power analog TV transmitters were turned off), terms like “over-the-air” and “rabbit ears” became popular again at the water cooler and at backyard barbecues. While WSIU made the digital switch earlier in 2009 due to technical reasons, by early summer of that year all of the remaining stations in our region had turned off their analog signals, as well, and the nation was officially digital with regard to broadcast television.

WSIU Wins National My Source Education Innovation Award

So how’s that working out for you? From our perspective, service has certainly been enhanced. WSIU now broadcasts many programs in high definition, nearly all in stereo, with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround coming soon. We also broadcast two additional video channels featuring the best of PBS, as well as alternate programming 24 hours each day on 8.2/16.2 PBS World and 8.3/16.3 Create. Our over-the-air coverage radius has also increased, now encompassing the downtown St. Louis area, along with all of the metro east area and St. Clair county. Still we know the experience may not be as rewarding for some of you. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to talk to viewers at the Southern Illinois Men’s Health Conference while working at our outreach table. Many of you stopped by to collect information on health-related programming, but there were several who stopped to share the concern that they could no longer receive WSIU after the transition. So much for digital = better? After talking with most people, we can usually identify the potential culprits responsible for the loss of signal (improper antenna installation/orientation, type of antenna and lead, connectors, etc.) There were a few people, however, who seemed to have tried every trick in the book and still left us scratching our heads. At WSIU, we’re committed to helping everybody who wants to watch free educational television receive a reliable signal. We’re equally committed to helping those who receive only WSIU’s main signal on cable or home satellite to enjoy our additional channels of PBS World and Create. If you’re having trouble receiving our channels or know somebody else who is, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Most situations have a reasonably simply solution, but we can’t help unless we know who needs the help. Call us anytime at (618) 4536156 and leave your name and number where we can reach you.

or the second consecutive year, WSIU has been awarded a national award from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) for its educational outreach efforts.

WSIU received a My Source Education Innovation Award for our creative approach in using public media resources to improve teacher instruction and student outcomes. My Source is a national campaign developed by CPB to engage people in a dialogue about the power of public broadcasting to enrich public life. “Stations across the country are using technology in creative and innovative ways to deliver educational tools and resources that are making a real difference to teachers, parents and children,” says Pat Harrison, president and CEO of CPB. “Public media is the definitive education partner for a new generation of learners, and CPB congratulates WSIU for its outstanding contribution to the community.” WSIU’s two winning TV testimonials feature early childhood teachers Keely Gelso and Dimitra Palaskonis of the Alice Wright Early Childhood Center in Carbondale. Gelso shares why she values WSIU’s PBS TeacherLine courses as a professional development resource, while Palaskonis tells a moving personal story about the positive impact of WSIU and PBS programming on her life as the child of Greek immigrants. To view these awardwinning testimonials, go online at www.wsiu.org/teacherline. “The stories of these local educators share a powerful message of their trust in WSIU’s educational resources,” says WSIU outreach coordinator, Vickie Devenport, who accepted the award on WSIU’s behalf at the Council of Chief State School Officers/Public Media Executive Summit in Washington, DC on March 20. In 2009, WSIU earned a My Source Community Impact Award for Education for testimonials showcasing “Biz Kid$ Bash,” an event that teaches children money management skills, and our literacy initiative “Raising Readers in Southern Illinois.”

Scholastic Hi-Q Finals

hirty-two teams from across Southern Illinois participated in the 2009-10 season of WSIU’s single-elimination game show series Scholastic Hi-Q, but only four teams reached the semifinal round: Carbondale, Herrin, Nashville, and Freeburg. Scholastic Hi-Q wrapped up its 24th season with a showdown between Carbondale and Freeburg. The Terriers narrowly defeated Freeburg 500 to 465 to claim Hi-Q’s top spot for the second straight year. Carbondale also won its regional and sectional championships and advanced to the Illinois State Scholar Bowl semifinals, eventually placing 4th in the state. Congratulations, Carbondale! For more information about Scholastic Hi-Q, visit our web pages at wsiu.org/hiq.

llinois Lawmakers, WSIU Public Television’s award-winning coverage of the state General Assembly, returns in May with two programs focusing on the final weeks of the 2010 Spring Session.

“Once again the state’s chronic budget crisis tops the agenda this spring at the Illinois Statehouse,” says Illinois Lawmakers host Jak Tichenor, “but there’s next to no agreement between the state’s Democrats and Republican leaders over how to close the nearly $13-billion gap between state spending and revenues.” Governor Patrick Quinn (D-Chicago) is calling for a one-percent hike in the state income tax to stave off $1.3 billion in cuts to public schools, colleges, and universities, but lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have shown little appetite for raising taxes in an election year. “It’s a classic stalemate” says Tichenor. “Both sides are dug in pretty deep. Republicans say they won’t consider raising taxes until Democrats make deep spending cuts and stop expanding government programs while Democrats

argue they won’t even call a vote on hiking taxes until Republicans put some votes on the bill.” Lawmakers did move with blinding speed earlier this spring to push through a sweeping overhaul of the state’s pension system ahead of a crucial sale of state construction bonds. Although the pension reform bill had broad bipartisan support, there’s no sign either side is willing to budge on the tax question. Tichenor reports there is increasing speculation that the Democratic-led majorities in both houses will propose a six month spending plan in May that will push back any decision on higher taxes until after the general election on November 2.

Recognized as television’s only ongoing, in-depth coverage of Illinois’ “no holdsbarred” brand of hardball legislative politics, Illinois Lawmakers features exclusive newsmaker interviews with legislative leaders, lively on-set debates between leading lawmakers from both parties, and expert analysis from some of the state’s top journalists.

WSIU Launches New Friday Night Lineup Beginning May 7

SIU’s news and public affairs programming lineup on Friday night is getting a makeover with the addition of BBC Newsnight, Newsline, and the new cross-media news and public affairs magazine Need to Know, which will replace Bill Moyers Journal. The program will no longer be produced, as Moyers is retiring. NOW on PBS also will no longer be produced.

FRIDAY NIGHT PUBLIC AFFAIRS

These changes reflect PBS’ efforts to revitalize its News & Public Affairs genre while continuing to offer trusted programming on all platforms. The changes also introduce new content and innovative ways of engaging the audience about topics that matter to them. “Forty percent of Americans are participating in the creation of news by posting stories to Facebook, highlighting stories on Twitter, and debating the issues of the day through dueling YouTube videos,” says PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger. “News has become a social experience and journalism must consider those implications.”

PBS KIDS Library Corner Events WSIU Hosts Cat in the Hat Celebration “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.” - Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!

ver 100 parents and kids joined WSIU and special guest The Cat in the Hat at the Du Quoin Public Library on Saturday, March 27 to help the library celebrate its 75th anniversary.

Spinning Tales at the Cape Storytelling Festival

beautiful spring weekend greeted WSIU and thousands of visitors at the 3rd Annual Cape Girardeau Storytelling Festival, held in historic downtown Cape April 9-11. National and regional storytellers spun folk tales, historical and literary tales, and stories about the joys and sorrows of everyday life. WSIU invited festival goers to tell their own stories at our “Share a Story” recording booth, where they received a CD copy of their stories. Among the visitors who recorded stories were a brother and sister duo who read original poems and a man who shared a story about the status of mules in Missouri in the pre-automobile days (instead of tractor pulls, they had “mule-pulls”). Look for the stories and photographs of participants on WSIU Radio’s web pages for Radio Voices: The Storytellers. WSIU’s Literacy Van and PBS KIDS character SuperWHY made appearances, while WSIU staff and students distributed educational materials, helped children create their own storybooks, and hosted drawings for DVDs and other prizes.

WSIU outreach coordinator Beth Spezia and outreach students Carolina Badiano, Danielle Farley, and Ryan Kinsella led the students in a Dr. Seuss reading session, organized games, supervised a hat-making session, and helped kids go online at PBS KIDS Island – an online destination that helps kids master literacy skills and tracks their progress. WSIU’s Literacy Van added a splash of fun to the day, while The Cat in the Hat (WSIU promotions student Mallory Henkleman) brought smiles to kids and parents alike. WSIU’s PBS KIDS Library Corner is part of the national Raising Readers initiative, which aims to help children ages 2-8 strengthen their reading and literacy skills. WSIU is a participating station in Raising Readers. To learn more, visit us online at www.wsiu.org/ kids or contact Beth Spezia at (618) 453-5595 or beth.spezia@wsiu.org.

WSIU Reception Troubleshooting Guide | Closed Captioning STEP #1 -- ANTENNAS

INDOOR ANTENNA

You must have a VHF or dual VHF/UHF antenna to receive WSIUTV’s channels. See below for more details.

• Extend the “rabbit ears” • Rotate the antenna a quarter turn and rescan again if you are unsuccessful finding WSIU -TV8 / WUSI - TV16 the first time. Repeat this process again if needed. • Be aware that aluminum siding may affect indoor antenna VHF reception.

STEP #2 -- CHANNEL SCAN Rescan your converter box or digital TV according to its manual. If rescanning does not work, try Step #3.

STEP #3 -- RESET Unplug the digital TV or converter box for a few minutes, plug it back in, and, then, do a channel scan again (step # 2). You may have to do this several times before it works. Finally, if the above fails, you may be able to force a system reset by starting a channel scan and unplugging the TV or converter box while it is scanning. Wait five minutes, plug it back in, and then rescan for channels (step#2).

OUTDOOR ANTENNA • Point antenna at our transmitter located in Tamaroa (WSIU-TV 8) or Dundas (WUSI-TV 16). • Old cables/coax may result in poor signal quality. (RG6 cable is recommended.)

Unforgettable: The Korean War. CC Korean War veterans from different branches of U.S. armed forces recount their memories of America in the late 1940s and early 1950s, when young men from all over the country were being shipped off to defend South Korea against the advancing Red Army in the north. The program recounts the soldiers’ stories in their own words, from their own homes…sharing moments of heartbreak, fear, and victory, and times of camaraderie with fellow soldiers. The film also examines how U.S. citizens socially grappled with the “conflict in Korea,” which eventually became known as the Forgotten War. No matter the name, the Korean War killed tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers and affected many more lives at home. 10pm Charlie Rose.CC 11pm FatherLoss.CC Inspired by the book FatherLoss: How Sons of All Ages Come to Terms With the Deaths of Their Dads by Neil Chethik, this poignant new special explores the unique grief sons face when they lose their fathers. Host Dave Shuffett makes a personal journey of discovery after the death of his father in 2007, sharing his struggles in the wake of the loss. Chethik also interviews several other men about father-loss, including Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Joel Pett, Lexington Family Magazine editor John Lynch, and others, each of whom tell their personal stories of dealing with the loss of their father. Setting the tone for the program is a quote from General Douglas MacArthur who carried his father’s photo in his wallet for 50 years: “My whole world changed that night, never have I been able to heal the wound in my heart.”

10pm Charlie Rose.CC 11pm Video Letters From Prison.CC This film takes an unflinching look at the powerful role a father plays in the lives of his children. Cameras capture the everyday lives of three young Lakota girls from South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation as they form a tentative relationship with their incarcerated father through video letters. The film documents the years that follow as the family mends and each girl matures, finding her own sense of identity and purpose. Included are a first visit to the prison, interviews with their mother and father, and each of the girls’ high school graduations.

8pm 9pm

NOVA.CC Kings of Camouflage. Cuttlefish are one of the strangest animals on our planet. These shapeshifting creatures can hypnotize their prey, impersonate the opposite sex, and even kill with lightening fast speed. More accomplished masters of disguise than any chameleon, they have an incredible ability to morph their skin color – even their shape – to blend into most any background. They have the largest brain-to-body ratio of all the invertebrates. But are they capable of learning and remembering complex tasks? With beautiful underwater footage and in-depth expert interviews, NOVA gets up close and personal with these bizarre and amazing animals. Frontline.CC TBA. At Close Range With National Geographic.CC National Geographic magazine photographer Joel Sartore shoots in some of the most exotic locales on earth, but often in wretched conditions for weeks on end, and always under pressure to produce pictures worthy of publication. On the job, he’s been chased by bears, wolves, alligators, and musk oxen. Capturing the beauty of Sandhill cranes in Nebraska or the tropical Amazon jungle, Sartore pursues the perfect image for every article. This documentary shows Sartore in consultation with National Geographic photo editors in Washington, D.C., as thousands of individual frames are whittled down to the 10 or 20 that will accompany a typical magazine story.

While we are mesmerized by their likeness to our species, we never considered what they wanted or needed. Now, an entire population of captive chimpanzees has been left behind by science, entertainment, and the pet trade, their care neglected, their stories forgotten, their records lost.

our health and well-being are important to WSIU. That’s why health care and healthy living are a vital part of our program schedule and community engagement initiatives. We believe that one of our many responsibilities as a public media organization is to empower people of all ages to make more informed decisions about their lives. This year, WSIU co-sponsored the Sweet 16th Women’s Teen Health Conference, held on February 20 and the 3rd Annual Men’s Health Conference on March 20, both held at John A. Logan College (JALC) in Carterville. The conferences invite people of all ages to make healthier choices for themselves and their families.

WSIU staff and SIUC students answered questions and provided station information, educational materials, a list of public media resources, and more. We also held drawings for a flash drive, a quiz game, and CDs and DVDs of our best local programs. Look for WSIU at the 24th Women’s Health Conference at JALC on Saturday, September 18.

UNDERWRITER PROFILE Marion Subaru

arion Subaru has been servicing, leasing, and selling vehicles to the Southern Illinois community and beyond since 2005. “At our new location we offer the full line of new Subaru all-wheel drive vehicles, and we sell pre-owned cars of all makes and models,” shares Jeff Mayer, Vice President and General Manager. “We also operate a certified collision center in Marion.” Mayer says the Subaru brand is known nationwide for their quality products, and that this commitment to quality is one of the motivating factors behind their support of public broadcasting at WSIU. Currently, Marion Subaru helps to sponsor Antiques Roadshow, Globe Trekker, Soundstage, Masterpiece, Charlie Rose, and other PBS favorites on WSIU Public Television, as well as a variety of programs on WSIU Public Radio.

“Deciding to underwrite on WSIU was a simple choice for us because Subaru has a large partnership with public broadcasting on the national level,” Mayer says. “That makes for a natural fit locally. It’s also good value. WSIU has been so easy to work with and their in-house productions have been seamless. I would recommend sponsorship to other businesses that relate well to the PBS audience.”

Mayer reports that he personally appreciates the in-depth and balanced reporting on WSIU, which is why he regularly tunes in to programs like Charlie Rose and The PBS NewsHour. “Charlie Rose has really diverse guests -- you can tune in one night and see Charlie sitting down with a

UNDERWRITER PROFILE COUNTRY Financial

eadquartered in Bloomington Illinois, COUNTRY Financial provides home, auto, farm, business and life insurance, annuities, college savings plans, retirement planning services, and investment management services. According to Randall Lorimor, Manager of Advertising and Marketing Media, “COUNTRY Financial has been helping families achieve financial security for 85 years. We want to help people no matter where they are starting from in their lives. We maintained financial strength throughout the recession and emerged from the market downturn focused on long-term financial growth.” COUNTRY Financial underwrites many popular programs on WSIU TV, including Nature, Mystery!, Masterpiece, NOVA, Globe Trekker, and WSIU InFocus.

Now in their third year of sponsorship, Lorimor reports that they truly value their partnership with WSIU Public Television. “Like WSIU, COUNTRY shares a desire to enhance the quality of life in the communities we serve. WSIU achieves this goal through quality programming; we succeed by supporting local organizations like WSIU. Robust communities are built on financially secure families and strong local organizations.” Lorimor adds, “Public broadcasting continues to be the voice of social responsibility aimed at fostering civic and community-minded efforts. COUNTRY shares that same rich history of giving back to the communities we serve.” Lorimor explains that COUNTRY got involved as program sponsors because “WSIU listeners are professionals who seek quality in every aspect of their lives. They also understand the need to be financially secure. All of these traits make the audience a perfect fit for COUNTRY.”

Lorimor says he would recommend WSIU TV underwriting to others. “Both our clients and our representatives in the WSIU area have noticed – and have complimented us on our participation.” When asked about favorite programs, Lorimor says, “With 4,000 employees, it’s safe to say that we enjoy just about everything on PBS! Perhaps the greatest contribution PBS makes to our society is the high quality, objective, in-depth news programming, both national and local. If you really want to get the whole story about what’s happening in the world, you have to watch PBS NewsHour. My other favorite programs are just about anything Russ Morash produces, particularly This Old House and the late New Yankee Workshop…I will miss Norm.” For more information, call 888-211-2555 or visit www.countryfinancial.com.
