That we are recording.
Oh
All right, whenever you're ready.
Can you just tell me which button I
need to press to turn it on?
Is it B?
It's A. It's B.
Just confirming it, I'll mess this
up so I can deal with anything in
the studio.
Thank you, Len.
Public media has always been powered
by people who care, and together
we're shaping what comes next.
From PBS Kids and Classroom
Resources with PBS Wisconsin
Education to trusted news
and emergency alerts,
PBS Wisconsin provides services
families across our state rely
on every day.
And we're committed to keeping that
strong. With your support,
we can protect and grow the
programs that educate,
inform, and connect our communities
today and for generations
to come.
If you can, make a monthly gift
or increase your support.
Public media has always been
powered by viewers like
you.
I don't think we need police.
Okay. I think it's just if you can.
Should I be nicer?
No, I think you were good.
I just want to have you read the
last line. I'm going to say PBS
Wisconsin has always been powered by
viewers like you.
Just as an alternative.
PBS Wisconsin, not public media.
Do you want a couple different
reads? Three reads, something?
Okay.
I'll throw out three reads.
PBS Wisconsin has always
been powered by viewers like
you.
PBS Wisconsin has always
been powered by viewers
like you.
PBS Wisconsin has always been
powered by viewers like you.
I'll throw out one more.
PBS Wisconsin, has always been
powered, by viewers, like you
Perfect!
Alright, we're going to move on to the
next one, what comes next,
slash thank you.
And then if we could do a slight
push on this one, because it's
longer also.
So we can start a little wider and
land on them where you are.
Just kind of let the timing feel us
right.
Heather, do you want them to have
the lower third on this?
I don't actually don't know if
they're with us. No, I don't think
it was up there, but it was there.
This is Katie in the studio.
Is the lower third still
being recorded on
there?
Okay, let me check with Heather.
So right now they're recording one
with the lower third and one
without, but they can record two
versions.
We can go over three.
It looks fine.
I'm gonna have to go to Heather.
Heather's okay with just leaving, so
we'll let her figure out.
Thank you.
For generations.
All right.
You let us know when you're ready,
Colin. Here you go.
I'm good for you guys whenever.
All right.
Is that my go then?
For generations, PBS Wisconsin
has been a trusted part of our
community.
Public media has never been just
about programs.
It's about people, about purpose,
about possibility.
For more than 70 years, it's
been powered by viewers who care,
viewers like you.
Together, we've built something
rare, trusted storytelling with
heart, integrity, and
real impact. And now we're shaping
what comes next.
A future where learning stays free.
And accessible to every child.
Where PBS Kids and PBS
Wisconsin Education sparks curiosity
in homes and classrooms
across Wisconsin.
Where trusted news and local stories
continue to reflect the
communities we call home.
The landscape may change, but our
mission doesn't.
Because public media has
always been powered by
people who believe in it.
We can't do it without you.
Please consider making a gift today.
Thank you.
Wow, that was really good.
It actually works with the lower
third too.
Yeah, it's a donate spot anyway.
I want to change
one word in the prompter.
So the line, a future where learning
stays free and accessible
to everyone.
Change child to one.
So,
free and accessible to everyone.
A grammar check where PBS
Kids and PBS Wisconsin
Education spark
curiosity, right?
Because PBS Kids AND PBS
Wisconsin education is plural.
Yeah, that makes sense, because then
it's in a whole other thing.
Yeah.
Everything else felt good though.
I think so.
I guess PBS Kids
and PBS Wisconsin Education
is pretty long, but that's okay, I
got through it.
And if it didn't sound weird to
you, then probably
won't sound to other people, so.
Yeah, no.
Damn, laid down a good one and
there's a grammar error.
Damn it.
You're going to do just as good this
time. And it's not that noticeable
anymore.
It's not the...
Unless you're the English...
You can, like,
edit out a little S at the end of
Sparks. Oh, absolutely.
Make it go.
Thank you.

Sounds really good.
I wanna go back and do the first
script again with that same
tone and then in
the first script I'd like to change
the last line in the prompter from
public media to PBS Wisconsin.
Did you get that?
We're going back to the first
script.
Yeah, the future
is ours.
The future is our's.
And then let's
just double check the
line above that, from PBS Kids
to
Classroom Resources with PBS
Wisconsin Education,
instead of and, should we make that
two?
Um, from PBS Kids,
what if it was from PBS kids and
from PBS Kids and classroom
resources to trusted news
and emergency alerts.
Does that work?
Yeah, so take out with PBS,
Wisconsin education, you know, just
to make it a little more succinct.
Yeah, because I
mean I think I was struggling a
little bit with the number of words
between from and to
From PBS Kids and
classroom resources from
PBS Kids, and PBS
Wisconsin classroom resources
Nah, from PB
Yeah, or yeah
Cool
From PBS Kids and Classroom
Resources to trusted news
and emergency alerts,
PBS Wisconsin provides services
families across our state rely on
every day.
And then we're just removing with
PBS Wisconsin Education.
And then removing PBS Wisconsin
education.
Did you get that part?
Sorry, Megan.
We'll give her a visual identity
instead of a VO.
Okay.
Public media has always been
powered by people who care.

comes next.

tag lines, and then we just have a
couple pick up lines, Eric, and
we're all set.
OK.
What do you want from these?
Do you want, do you wanna few?
