Dear WNIT Supporters:
Now that we’re getting some warm weather and the flowers are blooming, I feel a new spirit in the air. People seem to have energy again! We’re feeling it at WNIT, too.
I was recently on a long flight returning to Michiana, thinking about WNIT, and giving special thought to our children’s programming. Lately, I’ve been hearing from several parents telling me how much they appreciate the curriculum-based children’s programming WNIT provides, and how they observe their kids learning and growing from it.
I am sometimes troubled by claims from some children’s channels that their programs are “educational.” Perhaps there are some nuggets of knowledge on those channels, but our PBS programs have an actual curriculum plan, with each episode building upon the other with achievement goals for these young viewers. In addition to the broadcast version of each program, children can go online and practice the lessons they learned on TV. Plus, there are apps for smart phones/tablets, and games. All this is free to kids, thanks to your support of WNIT.
I wish every child could attend an early childhood development program, but that is not the case. Perhaps 15-20% of all kids get to attend. For the remaining 80%, WNIT is there for them. Regular viewers of PBS children’s programs score higher on pre-kindergarten tests than non-viewers. I’m a regular viewer in my office each day!
The business model for other children’s channels is to carry advertising messages to “sell to” children. Our business model relies on donations so we may educate children. There’s a big difference. We all thank you for making this possible with your contributions to WNIT.
If you are a parent or grandparent, and your children are watching television, put them in front of WNIT’s children’s programming. They will find safe viewing designed to inspire and educate, and make them laugh too. So many good things happen when you support WNIT. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Greg Giczi President & General Manager

“Escape From Nazi Alcatraz” – May 14Colditz Castle, a notorious prisoner of war camp in Nazi Germany, was supposed to be escape-proof.

The plan was to fly to freedom from the roof of the castle, but the war ended before they could put it to the test. Now, after a 70-year wait, the team finally finds out if the legendary glider plan would have succeeded.

Mystics of the Heartland to Premiere in June Join us on Thursday, June 19 at 8pm for the premiere of Mystics of the Heartland, a series designed to present relevant stories that resonate with viewers and invite them to explore their own inner truth. The program will be repeated on June 21 at 4:30pm; the second episode will air Thursday, June 26 at 8pm and repeated on June 28 at 4:30pm.
The series intends to provide viewers with interesting, informative and inspirational programs that invite them to look more deeply into their own lives and experiences. Each program will present a topic, such as science, health, music or nature and its relationship to spirituality and will include unique and personal stories from people within our own communities and beyond.
Videographers Needed for Our Town: DowagiacWNIT Public Television announced another in its Our Town series, this time focusing on the city of Dowagiac, Michigan. With the help of volunteer videographers and a little training from WNIT’s professional award-winning production team, ordinary citizens will become volunteer videographers. Armed with their own home camcorders, they will create a video scrapbook of the stories that make Dowagiac special. WNIT’s professional staff utilizes these video recordings, along with interviews held by the producers with the volunteer videographers, to professionally edit the stories and produce an hour documentary that reflects the emotional ties of the people who live, love and are passionate about Our Town: Dowagiac.
If you or someone you know is interested in being a volunteer videographer for this project, please contact WNIT at 574.675.9648 or [email protected]. A videographers’ class will be held in Dowagiac in early June. At that time, volunteers will learn shot composition and how to select topics of interest, and they will choose their assignments.

June 2014 Spring Membership CampaignWNIT’s Summer Membership Campaign begins Saturday, May 31 and runs through Sunday, June 8. Our on-air Membership Campaigns remain the most effective way of encouraging viewers to join the WNIT family of supporters. While these drives represent less than two percent of our annual broadcast hours, they do provide WNIT with the majority of revenue required to purchase and produce the regular and local programming enjoyed by everyone throughout northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan.
So get ready to experience an interesting and informative line-up of special programs for the entire family. And be sure to tell your family and friends why you think supporting WNIT is important.
It’s Viewers Like You who make a real difference to everyone in our community.
