FINALLY...MORE THAN 24 HOURS IN A DAY

ow many times have you wished for more than 24 hours in a day? For years, public television stations like WSIU have wished for the same thing: more hours to broadcast more programs than would fit into a conventional television day. That is, until the advent of digital television.

Before digital television arrived in 2009, WSIU selected programs to fill a single 24-hour broadcast stream. Today, with WSIU HD, WSIU World, and WSIU Create, we have three times as many hours of broadcast availability, and we’re using them to serve you better.

WSIU World and WSIU Create carry some programs you don’t see on our primary HD channel, along with rebroadcasts of some of your favorite PBS shows at various times throughout the week.

WSIU World features unique discussion programs, including Tavis Smiley, To the Contrary, John McLaughlin’s One on One, and Inside Washington. Program hosts and guests explore a broad range of issues in a thoughtful manner that is consistent with your expectations of public television.

For a more international flavor, WSIU World features European Journal, Global Voices, Latin View, and Journal (from Berlin).

These programs help to expand our view of the world while identifying issues and presenting them to viewers across the region.

WSIU World also features local programs, rebroadcast at additional convenient times for viewers who may have missed these important programs during their primary WSIU HD broadcast. For example, Scholastic Hi-Q, WSIU InFocus, and River Region Evening Edition can be seen on WSIU World at various times throughout the week.

Live events and special broadcasts include Presidential Addresses, Gubernatorial speeches, and even SIU Basketball.

On WSIU Create, you’ll find a steady stream of do-it-yourself programming, including cooking, crafting, and constructing, along with travel and gardening. All of these programs are featured on WSIU Create 24 hours each day (that’s your third 24 hours each day, not your second or your first).

Perhaps the best feature of this extra 48 hours of programming is that it all comes to you free. Hook up an antenna, if your cable or home satellite provider doesn’t offer WSIU World and WSIU Create, and then sit back and enjoy. For details, schedules, and more, visit our website at wsiu.org or call us toll free at 866-498-5561.

WHAD’YA KNOW?

PRI Program Coming to Carbondale

any, irreverant, hilarious.

Michael Feldman’s Whad’Ya Know? is all of that and more.

Produced by Wisconsin Public Radio and distributed by Public Radio International (PRI), the popular weekly comedy quiz show is coming to Southern Illinois on Saturday, March 26 at Shryock Auditorium on the Southern Illinois University Carbondale campus.

Doors will open at 9am, with seating required by 9:30am (no late arrivals). The live broadcast will air from 10am until noon.

“WSIU is honored to host the return of Michael Feldman and Whad’Ya Know? to Southern Illinois,” says Jeff Williams, General Manager and News & Public Affairs Director of WSIU Public Radio.

“This is the show’s second visit to Carbondale and to Shryock Auditorium, having hosted a live performance here in 1998,” Williams added. “Whad’Ya Know is a long time favorite with our listeners, and I couldn’t be more excited about the show’s return. It’s a wonderful opportunity for people to see and participate in live radio at its best!”

Feldman will lead the live broadcast of the show, along with cast and crew members Jim Packard, Lyle Anderson, John Thulin, Jeff Hamman, Clyde Stubblefield, Todd Witter, Tom Blain, Aubrey Ralph, Brad Kolbert, and Michele Gerard Good. In keeping with the Whad’Ya Know? road show tradition, the live show will take on a local flair, featuring Feldman’s take on “All The Southern Illinois News That Isn’t,” along with Feldman’s interviews of local and other special guests, performances by local musicians, and more.

TICKET DETAILS

Tickets are available at SouthernTicketsOnline.com, a service of SIU Event Services, or by calling (618) 453-6000 on weekdays between 12-5pm. Prices are $50 for Director’s Circle seating, $40 for Orchestra seating, $32 for seating in the Side/Rear Orchestra/ Lower Balcony, and $26 for Upper Balcony seating.

ABOUT MICHAEL FELDMAN

A graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Feldman worked as an English teacher for eight years, drove a cab, and became a volunteer DJ on Madison’s WORT-FM, hosting Thanks for Calling and later producing his own show, The Breakfast Special. In 1985, Feldman launched Whad’Ya Know? at Wisconsin Public Radio, which immediately attracted both critical acclaim and a loyal coastto-coast audience. He also has published three “highly praised and widely ignored” books, including Thanks for the Memos.

Now in its 12th season, alt.news 26:46 is broadcast across five states and seen in over 1.5 million households. It has won five national student Emmys, 35 regional Emmys, and five Hugos. The awards list has grown so long that Reed and Damian have trouble reciting them off-hand.

Yet despite all the awards alt.news 26:46 has won, Damian and Reed emphasize that it’s the volunteer commitment to the show’s mission that’s really impressive.

Students from all majors in the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts are welcome to be a part of alt.news. “Although it helps, you don’t need special skills – just drive, commitment, and a love for learning,” says Damian. Reed adds that, “...if you take the initiative to ask questions, such as asking about editing or using a shoulder mount or an HVX camera, we’ll help.”

Reed and Damian say what they like best about public TV (aside from alt.news, of course) are PBS KIDS shows like Arthur and Sesame Street because the programs remind them of their childhood. And perhaps the curiosity of childhood is a characteristic the students need to succeed…well, that – plus the ability to go without sleep for long periods of time.

No matter what the show demands of them, the alt.news team rises to the occasion and sets the bar even higher for the next group to come after them. As long as there are students with a passion for news and a strong work ethic, this nationally-recognized news show is destined to be a leader for many years to come.

WATCH ONLINE AND ON THE AIR To learn more about alt.news and watch previously aired episodes, visit their website at http://an2646.com. Regular meetings are held Tuesdays at 8pm in TV Studio A in the Communications Building. Catch the next two episodes of alt.news on WSIU-TV on March 27 at 10pm and April 24 at 10:30pm.

KEN BURNS EPIC RETURNS

O

n the 150th anniversary of the beginning of America’s Civil War, PBS will re-broadcast Ken Burns’s entire landmark 1990 series. Burns’s epic APRIL 3-7 • 7PM documentary brings to life America’s most defining conflict.

THE CIVIL WAR

The Civil War is the saga of celebrated generals and ordinary soldiers, a heroic and transcendent president, and a country that had to divide itself in two in order to become one. Actors lending their voices in the documentary include Sam Waterston, Jason Robards, Julie Harris, Jeremy Irons, Morgan Freeman, Paul Roebling, Garrison Keillor, Kurt Vonnegut, Arthur Miller, and Studs Terkel. Historian David McCullough narrates.

n May 16 at 8pm, WSIU-TV will present American Experience: Freedom Riders, a powerful, harrowing, and ultimately inspirational story of eight months in 1961 that changed America forever.

In remembrance of the 1961 Freedom Riders, students from across the country will take a bus ride retracing the routes, stopping along the way at historically critical locations and spending time with original riders who will share their poignant accounts of this dangerous experiment in the fight for equal rights.

Additional public events will take place in cities and towns along the route.

A large-scale traveling exhibit devoted to the Freedom Rides of 1961 will visit twenty cities across the United States in 2010-11 and will offer a cell phone-based audio guide featuring the voices and stories of the Freedom Riders. Educators will have access to comprehensive Freedom Riders curriculum materials for students at every educational level.

Through a combination of in-person and online workshops, the non-

profit educational and professional development organization Facing History and Ourselves will train more than 650 teachers to use Freedom Riders in the classroom. They also will present the film and curriculum at educational conferences nationwide.

LOCAL FREEDOM RIDERS OUTREACH WSIU will co-sponsor a screening of the film in April with the African American Museum of Southern Illinois and the Illinois Humanities Council. Guests at the screening will include Tom Armstrong of Chicago and Carbondale resident, Genevieve Houghton, who were both participants in the 1961 bus rides into the south and are featured in the documentary.

Details about the screening to celebrate the premier of Freedom Riders will be shared at wsiu.org and on our WSIU-TV and Radio Facebook pages at facebook.com/wsiutv and facebook.com/ wsiuradio. WSIU will provide additional details in the next issue of Previews.

t’s 1936 and a new couple moves into 165 Eaton Place. Thus resumes the epic story of Upstairs Downstairs more than 30 years after its last episode on PBS. In this three-part sequel, the saga continues with stories of the upper-class and working-class intertwining in complex and interesting ways against a backdrop of world events.

The stellar cast includes Dame Eileen Atkins and Jean Marsh, with Marsh reprising her Emmy Award-winning role as Rose Buck, now promoted from parlormaid to housekeeper, and Atkins as the aristocratic Lady Maud.

Keeley Hawes, Ed Stoppard, Claire Foy, and Ellie Kendrick also star. Laura Linney hosts.

logging. Texting. Smart Phones.

Gaming. Social Networks. YouTube.

More than just diversions for America’s kids, these technologies are becoming intrinsic to how they live…and learn.

This spring WSIU will offer screenings of an important new program that addresses how educators can harness the power of digital media to enhance student learning.

Digital Media: New Learners of the 21st Century, a production of Mobile Digital Arts in association with tpt National Productions, demonstrates how exceptional instructors in America are increasingly using digital media and interactive practices to ignite their students’ curiosity and ingenuity. In turn, these tools help students to become civically engaged, to collaborate with peers worldwide, and to direct their own learning.

WSIU believes this program raises compelling questions about education in our region and across the nation. As we move away from the 20th century paradigm of teaching students what to learn, are we effectively teaching students how to navigate the vast world of information surrounding them?

SCHEDULE A SCREENING TODAY! Educators, administrators, school boards, and community groups are encouraged to host a screening. Contact Beth Spezia, WSIU educational outreach coordinator, at (618) 453-5595 or beth.spezia@wsiu.org.

We will provide DVDs and technical support.

simple story can be a powerful thing.

It can rewew your emotional connection to a significant life experience. It can encourage you to mend Fr i day, relationships or inspire S u nday, you to try something new. It can expand your knowledge of history while transporting you to another time and place. The right story in the hands of a masterful storyteller can even motivate you to make a much-needed (and much deliberated) change in your life!

And, of course, a good story, well-told, can make you laugh until you cry – and who couldn’t use more of that?

You can experience the pure magic of storytelling at the 4th Annual Cape Girardeau Storytelling Festival, coming to the historic riverfront district in Cape Girardeau, Missouri from Friday, April 8 through Sunday, April 10.

National storytellers scheduled to perform include Bil Lep, Willy Claflin,

Elizabeth Ellis, Rev. Robert Jones, Kathleen Brinkmann, and Linda Dust. To learn more or to buy tickets, visit capestorytelling.com or call 800-777-0068.

SPONSOR PROFILE F-W-S Countertops

F

-W-S Countertops (formerly known as F-W-S Solid Surface Specialists) has served the tri-state region since 1978. F-W-S fabricates and installs granite, quartz, solid surface, and butcher block countertops for homes and businesses. Their 29,000 sq. ft. production facility is located in Carbondale.

According to Alan Kuczynski, President, and Brian Schaffner, Project Manager, two things that most people don’t realize are that the local production facility allows F-W-S to turn jobs around rapidly, and that the process of fabricating countertops creates “leftover” materials, which are stored in the shop for instant access to customers needing smaller countertops. This large stock of ready remnants is offered at a discount.

F-W-S underwrites the WSIU CREATE channel, as well as weekend how-to and lifestyles programs on WSIU HD. They also underwrite news programming on WSIU Public Radio. Al and Brian feel that F-W-S has much in common with WSIU.

“WSIU is our local public television source, and we are a local business,” say Al and Brian. “We decided to become underwriters because WSIU helps us reach a great group of people. WSIU TV viewers are well-educated and successful, and they also are really nice people who tend to be active in the community.”

They continue, “We would recommend program underwriting to other businesses as money well spent. We have enjoyed many new customer relationships thanks to our partnership with WSIU.” Al and Brian also believe that it is vital to support public television. “We rely on WSIU, and if you don’t support your local public television station, it goes away. It’s just like any other local business…if you want to have services available to you, you have to be involved. You build your community the way you want it to be.”

Al says his family has long relied on WSIU-TV.“PBS is our window to the world.

My daughter, who is almost eight, loves the cooking and gardening shows. As a news junkie, I like to see Nightly Business Report and Charlie Rose. My wife and I watch all of the travel shows – she loves Rick and Rudy – and the home improvement programs.”

F-W-S Office Manager Nancy Cox also is a big fan of WSIU, saying “Oh, absolutely! I especially love NOVA, Nature, and Secrets of the Dead.”

For more information about F-W-S Countertops, visit online www.f-w-s.net or call (618) 457-2326. The production facility and sample showroom is located at 610 N. Illinois Avenue in Carbondale.

SIU welcomes Darryl Moses, who joined the WSIU staff last fall as the Associate Director of Television and Video Services. He oversees TV Production, Traffic, and Master Control.

“We’re extremely fortunate to have Darryl Moses on our team here at WSIU,” said Greg Petrowich, executive director of WSIU Public Broadcasting. “Darryl’s public television experience ranges from local productions to national PBS programs, making him an incredible asset to WSIU staff and to SIUC students.”

“The staff at WSIU have made me feel very welcome,” said Moses. “I’m honored to work for a station with such a strong connection to the communities they serve.”

A native of Birmingham, Alabama and a 1987 graduate of the University of Montevallo with a B.A. in Broadcasting, Moses has worked as a producer and programmer for television production houses, the Alabama Electric Cooperative, and cable television. In 2000, he joined Mississippi Public Broadcasting (MPB) as Executive Producer, Mobile Production Unit Manager, and Director of Production.

While at MPB, Moses worked on the PBS KIDS series Between The Lions and other nationally-distributed programs such as Blues Divas and B.B. King’s Homecoming.

He also supervised MPB’s coverage of the state legislature and high school sports.

Moses is married to Julie Farrar Moses, a Registered Dietitian at St. Mary’s Good Samaritan Hospital in Mt. Vernon, and has a 12-year-old son. In his spare time, he enjoys traveling, spending time with his family, and woodworking. Moses also hopes to complete his pilot’s license in the future.
