patternsContinuing our commitment:Valuable broadcast content and community supportBy Mark Leonard, General Manager

It is certainly an interesting time to be part of the media business. The effects of a national recession, increased user control through DVRs and video-on-demand, and changes in technology and public policy have left the for-profit and non-profit media worlds reeling. It was such a simpler time before the advent of cable, satellite television, computers, cell phones, flip cameras, Twitter, digital video recorders, satellite radio, Internet radio, and YouTube!

With all of these changes, there are new and excit-ing opportunities. That is our focus at Illinois Pub-lic Media. Yes, we are forced to implement cutbacks as a result of funding cuts from the state. But at the same time, we are not suffering the same losses that commercial media are feeling from the sharp drop in advertising revenue. To date, membership support for IPM has remained strong, a trend that other public broadcasters are seeing across the country. The “business model” of voluntary support for public media is proving to be more resilient than the for-profit model of advertiser support long held by commercial broadcasters and newspapers. It’s hard to predict whether this will endure, but it is encouraging that voluntary support for valuable content, the core model for public broadcasting, is proving its strength during our challenging economic times.

Why is this happening? Despite the explosion of media choices now available, robust content is rarer now than ever before, and much of it origi-nates from public media like WILL. We want to build on this core value and expand our local impact in the coming year by helping to address the needs of our region.

There is no clear roadmap for success for any broadcaster, publisher, or media outlet. However, we believe that one of our most valuable assets is to exist solely for the benefit of our audiences and our communities. If we can contribute meaning-fully to the success of our region, voluntary support of our services will continue to be strong. Your financial support affirms that we are succeeding. Your continued investment is always appreciated, as are your ideas about how we can better address the issues affecting our communities.

What made America? What makes us? These two questions are at the heart of the new four-part PBS series, Faces of America, which airs at 7 pm Wednesdays, Feb. 10 to Mar. 3, on WILL-TV. Building on the success of his previous programs, African-American Lives and African-American Lives 2, Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. turns again to the latest tools of genealogy and genetics to explore the family histories of 11 renowned Americans, including Yo-Yo Ma, Eva Longoria, Mario Batali, Queen Noor, Meryl Streep and Kristi Yamaguchi.

Looking to the wider immigrant experience, Gates follows his guests’ lives back to their origins around the globe, discovering stories that illuminate the American experience.

The first episode, The Promise of America (Feb. 10), explores the relationship America had with her new immigrants in the 20th century. At its best, it was a place of refuge and salvation, as it was for film director Mike Nichols, whose entire family escaped Nazi Germany. At its worst, it was a country that would imprison two generations of Japanese Americans, including the forebears of Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi.

Becoming American (Feb. 17) examines the many journeys to becoming

American that defined the Century of Immigration (1820s-1924). Stephen Colbert’s Irish great-great-grandfather escaped poverty and religious oppression in Limerick, while Mario Batali’s great-grandfather struggled to survive in the quartz mines of Montana.

Episode three, Making America, (Feb. 24) tells the story of how land came to define the settling and identity of America and how the guests’ ancestors were part of this history: Meryl Streep’s eighth great-grandfather fought in Metacom’s War; a land dispute in Spain forced Eva Longoria’s ancestors to leave for the New World in 1603.

The final episode, The Record Within (Mar. 3), combines the documented stories of some of the guests’ last known ancestors with DNA evidence to reveal surprising shared ancestral connections. Poet Elizabeth Alexander learns that she is a direct descendent of Charlemagne and that her paternal roots are not only European, but Jewish. Meryl Streep and Mike Nichols discover that they are distant cousins, as do Yo-Yo Ma and Eva Longoria. Interwoven with these stories and others is the journey of the host, Henry Louis Gates, as he, his father and brother have their entire genomes mapped, thereby learning everything they possibly can about their own family.

An in-depth look at black patriot heroes

In 1770, Boston citizens confronted a squad of English soldiers. A black man took control of the protest and challenged the Redcoats. The British raised their weapons and fired. In that one volley, Crispus Attucks, an escaped slave, became the first man to give his life for a cause that would become the American Revolution. From those early struggles to our current battles against global terrorism, African-Americans have risked their lives in defense of this nation in the dual effort to preserve freedom for their country while attempting to acquire it for themselves.

For Love of Liberty: The Story of America’s Black Patriots, a two-part TV documentary (9 pm Fridays, Feb. 19 and 26) produced by Louis Gossett Jr., introduced by Colin Powell and hosted by Halle Berry, uses letters, diaries, speeches, journalistic accounts, historical text and military records to document and acknowledge the sacrifices and

A fresh interpretation of The 39 Steps

Filled with romance and humor, a new adaptation of the popular adventure novel—originally popularized by Alfred Hitchcock—airs on Masterpiece Classic at 8 pm Sunday, Feb. 28. It stars Rupert Penry Jones (Persuasion) as Richard Hannay, a mining engineer caught up in a conspiracy following the death of a British spy found in his apartment.

accomplishments of African-American service men and women since the earliest days of the republic. The story spans the Revolution to the Inauguration of Barack Obama and examines why these heroic men and women fought so valiantly for freedoms they did not enjoy.

At its heart are the emotional, first-hand accounts of the men

and women who were in harm’s way, revealing an epic story of perseverance and triumph. This collection of historical texts is read by Morgan Freeman, Bill Cosby, Susan Sarandon, John Travolta, Ossie Davis, Robert Duvall, Sam Elliot, Danny Glover, Walter Cronkite, Isaac Hayes, James Garner, LeVar Burton, Roscoe Lee Browne, Ruby Dee, John Amos, Eriq La Salle, Angela Bassett, Alfre Woodard, Cliff Robertson, Donald Sutherland, Blair Underwood and many others.

See Media Matters live on Feb. 21!

Fans of WILL-AM’s Media Matters with Bob McChesney have the opportunity to be part of a live studio audience for the show in a special event at 12:30 pm Sunday, Feb. 21.

The event at the Siebel Center, 201 N. Goodwin Ave., is free to the public, but tickets are required. Space is limited. Call 217-333-7300 by 5 pm Monday, Feb. 15, to request a ticket. Parking is available one block north in the garage at Goodwin and Clark Streets.

“We wanted to thank Media Matters listeners by doing a live studio show for the first time,” Bob said. “I will stay after the program to take more questions, talk about my new book, and sign books.” His new book, The Death and Life of American Journalism: The Media Revolution That Will Begin the World Again, co-authored with John Nichols, will be for sale for $25 at the event, with all proceeds going to WILL. Nichols, political writer for The Nation magazine, will appear with Bob at the event as a guest on the show.

Jay Pearce, director of created content for Illinois Public Media, said Media Matters is one of WILL’s most popular shows. “We get listeners from all around the country who hear the program on the Web. This is a great opportunity for listeners to see Bob in action and meet him afterwards.”

The perfect soundtrack for Valentine’s evening

The Most Romantic Music of All Time returns to FM 90.9 Sunday, Feb. 14, with three uninterrupted hours (7:06- 10 pm) of lush music from the worlds of classical, film and jazz. No talk, just great music to create a romantic mood for your evening!

More insight on education from American Radio Works

Three new documentaries coming to AM 580 at 6 pm Saturdays will explore how education during these difficult times is central to Americans’ economic opportunity and social mobility—as well as to our individual and collective well-being.

The first, Early Lessons (Feb. 13), takes us back to the 1960s to tell the story of a landmark experiment that helped launch the preschool movement. Today, economists say data from the last 50 years proves that preschool is the smartest way to spend public money, while researchers continue to uncover powerful lessons for our youngest students.

Then on Feb. 20, Rising by Degrees examines the demographic phenomenon of young Latinos as the fastest-growing segment of the population, while also the least likely to graduate from college. This documentary features a group of Latino students working towards college degrees—detailing their challenges, triumphs and failures.

Workplace U (Feb. 27) reports on the shortcomings of conventional school for many Americans, as some 7,000 students drop out of high school every school day. Those who do graduate often find that school has not prepared them well enough for jobs. Learn more about a growing movement to turn workplaces into classrooms and marginal students into productive workers.

Join Florida’s own Master of the Weird, Charlie Carlson, (10th-generation Floridian, folk historian and author) and his canine companion, Miss Scarlet, as they travel the highways and back roads in search of the Sunshine State’s offbeat, weird and downright wacky side. Weird Florida: Roads Less Traveled airs at 9 pm Sunday, Feb. 7.

From Key West to the Gulf of Mexico

Four new hits from Soundstage!

sShawn Colvin

sCharlie Carlson

The first program (9 pm Thursday, Feb. 4) highlights Americana music at its absolute best with Three Girls and Their Buddy—Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin and Buddy Miller—performing “Trouble,” “Gasoline and Matches,” “Strong Hand (for June)” and “Mary,” among many others.

Next up, Seal (9 pm Thursday, Feb. 11) is joined by David Foster as well as a choir and string section as he performs such soul classics as “I Can’t Stand the Rain,” “A Change is Gonna Come” and “If You Don’t Know Me By Now.”

Then at 9 pm Thursday, Feb. 18, Lynyrd Skynyrd delivers sensational renditions of their iconic classics, complete with rousing guitar solos, as well as songs from the new album, God & Guns. Closing out the month, Willie Nelson mixes elements of folk, blues, classic country, western swing and a little gospel during his versatile set (9 pm Thursday, Feb. 25). Nelson and his eight-piece band (featuring a banjo, mandolin, fiddle, steel guitar and more) highlight songs from Nelson’s first-ever bluegrass album, produced in collaboration with T-Bone Burnett.

Though President Franklin D. Roosevelt appealed to the warring nations not to bomb civilian populations, British and American Allied forces carried out a 1945 bombing campaign of unprecedented might over Germany’s cities. Now American Experience: The Bombing of Germany (8 pm Monday, Feb. 8), examines the defining moments of the offensive that killed nearly half a million civilians and led the U.S. across a moral divide. Weaving interviews with WWII pilots and historians with stunning archival footage of the bombing and its aftermath, the program is a haunting reminder of the dilemma imposed by war’s civilian casualties.

At 9 pm Tuesday, Feb. 16, Independent Lens presents Mine, a poignant and powerful story of animals left behind during Katrina and of the struggles of hurricane victims to reunite with their beloved pets. A meditation on the essential bond between humans and animals, this film is an equally compelling story of race and class—and the power of compassion—in contemporary America. It’s followed by the documentary short, Home, which mixes imagery from Mine filmmaker Geralyn Pezanoski’s childhood home before and after Katrina.

Florida’s Everglades National Park is one of the last great wildlife refuges in the United States, home to numerous unique and endangered mammals, trees, plants and birds. It’s also home to tens of thousands of giant pythons—some released into the wild by irresponsible pet owners, some escapees from wildlife facilities destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Nature: Invasion of the Giant Pythons (7 pm Sunday, Feb. 21) looks at how the predatory pythons’ presence in this protected wilderness now threatens numerous other species.

Thanks to the help of about 80 volunteers, more than 350 Illinois Radio Reader (IRR) listeners across central Illinois keep up-to-date on world, national, state and local news via special radio receivers they receive free of charge.

Now, a $2,800 grant we recently received from the Community Foundation of East Central Illinois means the IRR will benefit 80 more listeners.

“We’ll use the grant to purchase additional subcarrier radio receivers that pick up the programming coming from the Illinois Radio Reader service,” IRR director Deane Geiken explained. IRR broadcasts on a sub-carrier signal provided by WILL-FM.

Along with books, cooking shows, medical information programs and entertainment, IRR listeners have access to area newspa-pers from Decatur, Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Gibson City and Rantoul, including advertising supple-ments. In addition, the Wall Street Journal and a number of popular magazines are available.

Anyone who has a visual disability that im-pairs reading may be eligible for one of the special radio receivers. For more informa-tion, contact the IRR at 217-333-6503.

Kits help child care providers get kids moving

Child care providers across central Illinois are popping the lids off new “A Place of our Own” activity kits, and getting ideas and materials for creating fun and learning for the kids in their care.

Illinois Public Media created the kits in partnership with the Illinois Network of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies with funding from the Illinois Department of Human Services. The 50 kits are available for child care providers to check out from child care resource and referral agencies in 29 counties in the WILL-TV viewing area.

In a kit on preventing childhood obesity, child care providers find a disco ball to encourage dancing, a parachute for active games, a food sorting game, a Twister game, children’s books, a DVD with video clips and materials with ideas for using the kit. Other kits feature activities for resolving conflict, storytelling, creating a print-rich environment and celebrating diversity.

Molly Delaney (above left), Illinois Public Media director of educational outreach, put together the kits featuring ideas from A Place of Our Own, a program for people, including family members and neighbors, who care for children. The show airs at 12:30 pm weekdays on WILL-TV. “All of the ideas in the kits are available on the program’s Web site, aplaceofourown.org,” said Molly. “Even the video clips of excerpts from the show are available for parents and others to use.” The concept of the kits was to not only provide the ideas, but also materials such as the disco ball and parachute that providers might not have readily available, she said.

Private support accounts for the largest single source of funds necessary to make the WILL stations a great community resource. I am proud to salute the businesses across central Illinois that step forward to join the individuals and families in supporting these public broadcasting services. Thank you for your generosity!
