SOS: Save our spectrum

hen the transition to digital TV was originally proposed, it was done so for a variety of reasons – widescreen pictures in high definition, multiple free channels over a single antenna, Dolby surround sound, and a far more efficient use of the TV spectrum. Viewers may not have benefited directly from all of the new features, but in most cases each of us found enough upside to outweigh the pains of the transition. Granted there are some who are still having difficulties with reception, and we at WSIU continue to work with them every day. In fact, if it weren’t for the trouble spots in reception, digital television really would be a near-perfect system. So why would we change it again now that we’ve finally adjusted? That is the question before Congress at this time. Proposals circulating in Washington, D.C. suggest “re-packaging” the nation’s TV channels in order to free up even more spectrum for use by mobile and wireless internet providers. The Federal Communications Commission would provide incentives to TV stations to relocate their channels to the lowest portions of the TV spectrum (below channel 30), freeing up another 20 channels of bandwidth. There also would be incentives for broadcasters to give back bandwidth currently being used to provide higher picture quality and multi-cast channels. The reason for the congressional proposal is the nation’s thirst for wireless broadband. The government would auction off the recovered spectrum (estimated at a value of $15-billion) for commercial purposes and potentially use the money to help pay down the nation’s debt. It’s not a question of whether wireless broadband is important. But is pay wireless more important than free, over-the-air television? Is pay wireless so important that we would again move the nation’s TV channels, reducing signal coverage, increasing interference, reducing the number of multi-cast channels, and decreasing the picture quality? As a viewer of WSIU, you depend on this station for quality educational programming. Many of you choose to watch over the air rather than subscribe to cable or satellite. For some, it isn’t even a choice. The spectrum belongs to you and, therefore, it is up to you to decide how it should be used. If you have an opinion on this important issue, now’s the time to share it.

he 2011-12 Saluki Football season is here – with basketball not far behind – and we have great news to share! WSIU Public Television is proud to bring you live TV broadcasts of selected football and men’s basketball games this fall and winter. Last year’s series proved to be very popular with our viewers, featuring teams from a number of regional universities. Each game will first air live on our main channels (WSIU HD 8.1/ WUSI HD 16.1) and repeat later the same day on our WORLD channels (WSIU 8.2 / WUSI 16.2).

We have tentatively scheduled two football games (shown below). As of press time, the Saluki Basketball schedule is not finalized, but we will air multiple men’s basketball games. Beginning in mid-September, we will post a Live Saluki Sports webpage at wsiu.org. Check the site regularly for game dates and tune-in information as plans progress or contact our TV programming department at wsiutv@wsiu.org or (618) 453-6169.

The WSIU Saluki Sports series is a community-supported service. If you enjoy watching games on WSIU, you, too, can help to support these broadcasts when you call or visit us online. In addition to financial contributions from our viewers, we are able to provide these game broadcasts through the generous support of our series underwriters. As of press time, this season’s WSIU-TV Sports sponsors include Dr. Michael B. Clay of S.I. Dentistry; the SIU Foundation; Wells Fargo Advisors LLC of Carbondale and Mount Vernon; Wright’s Do-It Centers of Murphysboro and Sparta; the SIU Alumni Association; and Cook Portable Warehouses. Please help us to thank them for their support of WSIU-TV.

September / October 2011

The culmination of nearly a century of activism, Prohibition was designed to improve the lives of all Americans. Instead, it became one of America’s most notorious civic failures, an object lesson in the challenge of legislating human behavior. Ratified on January 16, 1919, Prohibition went into effect one year later and for the next 13 years, America would be split by a fierce cultural divide between “wets” and “drys” as Prohibition pit the city against the countryside, Protestants against Catholics, and immigrants against nativeborn citizens.

rom acclaimed director Ken Burns and Lynn Novick comes Prohibition, a three-part, five-and-a-half-hour documentary film series that tells the story of the rise, rule, and fall of the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the entire era it encompassed.

harlie Birger once tried to justify his life of crime and violence in Prohibition-era Southern Illinois by stating, “I’ve killed men, but never a good one.” Birger’s life was cut short by the hangman’s noose on a sunny spring morning in Benton, Illinois over 80 years ago.

Ultimately, Burns’ film raises vital questions that are as relevant today as they were 100 years ago – about means and ends, individual rights and responsibilities, the proper role of government, and finally, who is – and who is not – a real American.

Prohibition turned law-abiding citizens into criminals, made a mockery of the justice system, allowed illicit drinking to seem glamorous, encouraged neighborhood gangs to form national crime syndicates, permitted government

The program tells Birger’s larger-than-life story through first-person narratives, old photos and newspaper clippings, reenactment scenes, and commentary by historians Gary DeNeal and John Y. Simon. It also attempts to explain why residents of the area known as Egypt still can’t stop talking about Birger even today.

“I’ve killed men, but never a good one.”

The Legend of Charlie Birger, a two-hour historical documentary produced in 2003 by WSIU’s David Kidd, tries to separate the myths from the facts about this enigmatic, yet ultimately villainous character.

officials to bend and sometimes even break the law, and fostered cynicism and hypocrisy that corroded the social contract all across the country.

“Ultimately,” says Kidd, “Birger’s story serves as a cautionary tale about what can happen when public order breaks down and common criminals rise to the status of folk heroes.”

September / October 2011

ach year, The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) celebrates National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week during the first full week of November as a way to honor animal shelters and the dedicated people who work to protect animals. To shine a light on animal care and safety, the PBS KIDS television series Martha Speaks will launch its new season beginning on October 3 and continuing through National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week in November. Martha Speaks airs weekdays at 6:30am and 2:30pm, and on Saturdays at 8:30am.

In addition to airing special programs dedicated to animal care and safety, PBS and the HSUS have collaborated to create the Martha Speaks Shelter Dog Campaign, which focuses on humane education, pet adoption, and responsible pet ownership. WSIU is featured in the national campaign material for this project! As part of our participation in the Martha Speaks Reading Buddies literacy program at Giant City School in Carbondale, WSIU has hosted Shelter Dog activities at Giant City’s concluding event for Reading Buddies for the last few years. Students demonstrate their new literacy skills, while also learning how to care for animals with the help of The Humane Society of Southern Illinois, local Veterinary Technology students, and local veterinarians.

Kids enjoy hands-on animal care demonstrations, a first-aid exercise, and photo opportunities with costume character Martha the Dog. The children also collect food, grooming items, litter, and other animal care items to donate to the Humane Society of Southern Illinois.

he arts will take center stage on Friday nights this fall on WSIU-TV. Beginning October 14 and continuing through December, PBS will present the PBS Arts Fall Festival, which will showcase artists and performances from nine different communities, including Miami, San Francisco, Cleveland, Chicago, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. You’ll enjoy full-length performances, behind-the-scenes interviews, profiles of artists and performers, and minidocumentaries of women rock-and-rollers, banjo pickers, choreographers, and local art scenes. All programs will air Fridays at 8pm and will vary in length from 90 minutes to 2 1/2 hours.

Beginning October 14

PBSArts.org will host weekly curated themed exhibits that will take you beyond the television experience and into the creative process itself. You’ll be able to explore themes around each special, watch video clips, and share your own stories. PBS also will create innovative classroom tools to help teachers integrate PBS’ arts programming into existing curricula and to encourage students to participate as content creators.

eachers and students have a powerful new ally – PBS LearningMedia! PBS, WGBH Boston, and PBS member stations have collaborated to create this new education platform for educators, just in time for the 2011-12 school year.

Bringing together the best available high-quality media from 1,500 public media producers and more than 350 local PBS stations, PBS LearningMedia will help educators transform classroom teaching and learning, and increase student achievement. With free access to over 14,000 high-quality resources tied to national standards, PBS LearningMedia will be a “one-stop-shop” where teachers can download, save, and share what they need for an inspired classroom experience. “As America’s largest classroom, PBS and our local stations are helping to re-imagine classroom learning and are partnering with our producers and teachers to engage students to accelerate academic achievement,” said Paula Kerger, PBS President and CEO. “PBS LearningMedia is a key part of the solution to one of the nation’s biggest challenges – improving student progress to build our future workforce.” Correlated with state standards, PBS LearningMedia content includes videos, interactives, images, audio files, mobile apps, lesson plans, and worksheets. The service also will include student management tools, analytics, online professional development, and staff training. The first phase of development will combine existing models from the PBS Digital Learning Library with local services from Teachers Domain. It also will include content from over 55 member stations, independent producers, and public institution partners.

PBS LearningMedia: Illinois Edition WSIU and fellow member stations of the Illinois Public Broadcasting Council are creating a customized Illinois Edition of this new service for all teachers and students statewide. We will begin with a pilot test among a small group of school districts across the state. For more information, contact Vickie Devenport at (618) 453-6148, vickie.devenport@wsiu.org or Beth Spezia at (618) 453-5595, beth.spezia@wsiu.org.

SIU President Glenn Poshard is a member of the Illinois P-20 Council.

When the Twin Towers fell on September 11, 2001, among the thousands killed was the one man who may have known more about Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda than any other person in America – FBI agent John O’Neill. As the bureau’s top counterterrorism agent, O’Neill, who investigated the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Africa and the attack on the USS Cole, believed that the United States should kill Osama bin Laden before Al Qaeda launched a devastating attack on America. Frustrated by epic battles with the FBI’s top brass, O’Neill took a position in the private sector as head of security at the World Trade Center, where he was killed on 9/11. The story of O’Neill’s life and death provides a rare glimpse inside the FBI and helps answer the question: What did the government know? (R) 10:30 Frontline.CC Top Secret America.

Filmed in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Colombia, and Liberia, Women, War & Peace places women at the center of an urgent dialogue about conflict and security. Among the women spotlighted are Afghan women’s rights activists who are risking their lives to make sure women are included in peace talks with the Taliban; the Bosnian women who broke history’s silence and testified about their rape and sexual enslavement, leading to a historic court victory; the two Colombian women who are braving death threats to remain on the goldrich land that has sustained their community for centuries; and group of Liberian women who faced down killers and brought peace to their country.
