If you’re receiving this issue of Previews at home, you’re obviously a viewer of public television – a viewer who shares our vision of

WSIU as an essential public resource that combines the power of media with the power of people to strengthen our communities.

But did you know there are another 170-million Americans who do the same?

Every month over 170-million Americans use public media – through 368 public television stations, 934 public radio stations, hundreds of online services, education services, and in-person events and activities. That’s over half of all Americans.

Nationwide, public television has a monthly broadcast audience of 121.9 million people, while public radio has a four-week broadcast audience of 64.7 million people. With an estimated 25.9 million people who use both public radio and public television (overlap), that leaves 160.7 million discrete viewers or listeners for public radio and television.

And then there is the web. Network website visitors to public broadcasting sites account for 34 million visitors each month. After backing out the duplicate users who consume public media online, as well as over the air, we attract another 10.6 million Americans, taking the total to 171.3 million Americans who use public media each month.

And what do they watch, listen, or read from their local public media organizations? The same things you do. The highest quality programming, independent news, arts and performance series, thoughtful discussions…all the same programs you depend onto improve the quality of life for you and others around you.

Hopefully, it feels good to know there are 170 million Americans who share your interests, your passions, and your curiosities – all through their local public media organization. After all, you’ve been investing your time and your fi nancial support for the last half-century to make sure this resource is available, not only for you, but for generations to come.

Thank you for watching, listening, and supporting. For those who want to learn more about public broadcasting nationwide (or just check the math), visit our website www.wsiu.org and click on the link to 170 million Americans.

170 MILLION AMERICANS JUST LIKE YOU

Children from across Southern Illinois

twirled, clapped, and jumped with delight when PBS KIDS character Angelina Ballerina danced her way through the Marion Cultural and Civic Center in Marion, Illinois on Saturday, June 11. This year’s event drew a crowd of over 350 children and adults!

Presented by the Friends of WSIU, WSIU Public Broadcasting, and the Marion Cultural and Civic Center, Angelina’s return visit to Southern Illinois was held in partnership with the 7th Annual Southern Illinois Music Festival. Following Angelina’s visit, the Festival presented a matinée performance of the ballet Giselle.

In addition to two photo sessions with Angelina, children learned about different kinds of music and instruments from members of the Southern Illinois Symphony Orchestra as part of their “Klassics for Kids” program. They also enjoyed a mini-ballet lesson led by local dancer and SIUC student Lindsay DuBois and Christian Griggs-Drane, a Butler University student with the traveling dance troupe performing Giselle. Children created colorful masks and crowns, poseable Angelina and Marco paper dolls, and other hands-on crafts.

Many thanks to everyone who helped to coordinate this year’s Angelina Ballerina event: Lane Hudgins, president of the Friends of WSIU Board; board members Susie Phillips, Gayle Klam, Candis Isberner, and Robin Haller; WSIU staff members Beth Spezia, Vickie Devenport, Laura Cobin, and Monica Tichenor; and WSIU student staff andvolunteers Danielle Farley, Lindsey DuBois, Katie Tullis, Jordan Figura, Savannah Ramsey, Marianne Lather, and Teri Isaacs.

A special thanks to Joshua Benson, executive director of the Marion Cultural and Civic Center, and his staff for providing a beautiful venue for Angelina’s visit for the second straight year, and for their assistance in coordinating and executing the event. We’d also like to express our appreciation to Edward Benyas, Music Director of the Southern Illinois Symphony Orchestra and Founder/Artistic Director of the Southern Illinois Music Festival, and the Orchestra for sharing the timeless beauty of classical music with families at our Angelina Ballerina event.

Angelina Ballerina™ The Next Steps airs on WSIU Television on Sundays at 8:30am. It is produced by HIT Entertainment and THIRTEEN for WNET. 2011 HIT Entertainment Limited.

July/August 20116

E very dog has “her” day…and America’s

chattiest canine, Martha the Dog from the PBS KIDS television series Martha Speaks, certainly made the most of hers during a recent visit to Giant City School in Carbondale.

Costume character Martha delighted teachers, parents, and students on May 18 as the school celebrated the conclusion of their participation in the literacy program, Martha Speaks Reading Buddies. The scientifi cally-based literacy program is designed to strengthen students’ vocabulary and social skills while enhancing their love of books and reading.

During the eight-week-long course, kindergarten students (little buddies) were paired with third- and fourth-grade readers (big buddies) to share books, watch videos, and participate in word games and other reading-based activities.

Activities included the premier of WSIU’s Raising Readers Theater performance of Perfectly Martha featuring WSIU students Ryan Kinsella, Carolina Badiano, and Katie Tullis, along with WSIU Friends Board members Lane Hudgins and Candis Isberner and student volunteers from the audience. Beth Spezia, WSIU education outreach coordinator, led the children in a vocabulary lesson featuring words from the Perfectly Martha performance.

Casey Parker of the Humane Society of Southern Illinois and several of her staff introduced the audience to canines Chloe and Tapioca and invited children to participate in a hands-on animal care demonstration using stuffed animals. LeeAnn Greenwell, DVM, director of the Southern Illinois Collegiate Common Market Veterinary Technology Program, and several of her students led a fi rst aid exercise and helped to bandage Martha’s “injured” leg.

Students who participated in the Reading Buddies program demonstrated their new vocabulary skills and posed for group photos with Martha. They also donated animal care supplies to the Humane Society.

Giant City School teacher Kristi Britton and others were recognized for their participation in Martha Speaks Reading Buddies. Call (618) 453-5595 to request Martha Speaks programs in your community.

July/August 2011 7

Summer is a great time for kids to immerse themselves in reading, and

WSIU is helping children do just that by hosting Summer Reading Program events at regional libraries, based on this year’s state library theme of “A Midsummer Knight’s Read.”

WSIU staff, students, and volunteers have been conducting PBS KIDS Raising Readers Theater performances of Perfectly Martha, distributing PBS KIDS educational materials, such as print and e-Books, showing children how to use online sites like PBS KIDS, PBS KIDS Island, and WordQuest, and providing libraries with

educational resources for families. PBS KIDS character SuperWHY! has also joined in the fun.

WSIU has already helped Harrisburg Public Library, Marion Carnegie Library, and Benton Public Library kick off their summer reading programs, but we have a few more left to go! See the schedule at right for details.

Marion Subaru has been servicing, leasing, and selling vehicles for

southern Illinois, southeast Missouri, western Kentucky, and beyond since 2005, and has been an enthusiastic supporter of WSIU Public Television since 2008. “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 certifi ed 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 a diverse range of WSIU Public Television programs, including Antiques Roadshow, Globe Trekker, Masterpiece, Secrets of the Dead,

American Experience, MotorWeek, Charlie Rose, and many other favorites, 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 fi t 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 PBS NewsHour.

“Charlie Rose has really diverse guests – you can tune in one night and see Charlie sitting down with a NASCAR driver and the next night it’s Bill Gates. It’s interesting to see.”

Marion Subaru is located at 3209 W. DeYoung Street in Marion, Illinois. For more information, call (618) 969-8692 or visit online at www.marionsubaru.com.

Scott McClatchey and his team at the Alliance Investment Planning Group

provide investment advisory services for individuals, families, and business owners. Services include fi nancial planning, investment strategies and advice, retirement planning, college savings plans, insurance, and risk management.

Recently, Scott received designation as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER ™, which follows his interest in providing a broader range of advisory services to families and individuals.

Scott also provides investment services to SIU Credit Union members through a partnership between the Credit Union and Alliance Investment Planning Group.

Scott sponsors an array of programs on WSIU-TV, including Antiques Roadshow, NOVA, Frontline, American Experience, This Old House Hour, and History Detectives, among others. He also sponsors WSIU Public Radio news, and volunteers on the WSIU Friends Board.

He explains his commitment as something he believes in strongly. “WSIU Public Broadcasting is a unique, essential public resource,” says Scott. “It strengthens our region and supports the people of southern Illinois. Especially close to my heart are WSIU outreach activities like Raising Readers, SIRIS, SciGirls, Library Corners, and Biz Kid$. Public broadcasting belongs to us; we need to support it to keep it alive and healthy.”

Scott notes, “Since my sponsorship began, I’ve received numerous comments – all positive – and ‘thank you’s’ from members of the community. Several of my clients and contacts tell me that they see and hear my involvement with the stations as an underwriter. I’ve also been pleasantly surprised at how many people who support public broadcasting are willing to engage in conversation once they realize you, too, are a

supporter. It’s like being part of a very special family.”

Scott says he defi nitely would recommend program sponsorship to other businesses. “WSIU underwriters aren’t just reaching the best customer demographic in the region, they’re also supporting a critical resource that brings unique, high-quality programming and outreach services to all of us. I believe that audiences respect the shared-values and service-mission aspects of sponsoring public broadcasting.”

An avid viewer and listener, Scott enjoys a variety of WSIU programs. “On WSIU-TV, I enjoy watching thoughtful programs like Nature, Charlie Rose, PBS NewsHour, and WSIU InFocus, and entertaining programs like Austin City Limits, Rudy Maxa, and Rick Steves. I’m also a big fan of Ken Burns and his extraordinary documentaries. [On] WSIU Radio, I enjoy listening to Morning Edition and All Things Considered, and to classical music.”

Alliance Investment Planning Group is located at 115 S. Washington in Carbondale. Scott may be reached at (618) 519-9344 or visit www.allianceinvestmentplanning.com.
