ABOUT PBS "NEWSHOUR" IS THAT
EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM THEY
ACTUALLY TALK TO PEOPLE WHO ARE
LIVING THE HEADLINES, WHO ARE
PART OF THE NEWS STORY, SO YOU
GET TO UNDERSTAND THE NEWS FROM
THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE BEING AFFECTED BY IT.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT -- IT'S
VERY, VERY RARE TO SEE SOMETHING
LIKE THAT ON THE NEWS.
BUT IT JUST HELPS INSTILL THAT
SENSE OF TRUST.

OPPORTUNITY TO GET BOTH THE MUG

GREAT TIME.

I'M MICHAEL BRIDGEMAN AND I'M A
VOLUNTEER HERE AT WISCONSIN
PUBLIC TELEVISION.
I'VE BEEN AROUND HERE FOR A LONG
TIME IN VARIOUS WAYS AND I KNOW
THAT WE HEAR FROM PEOPLE ALL THE
TIME THAT "NATURE" IS ONE OF
THEIR FAVORITE PROGRAMS ON PBS
WISCONSIN.
AND IF THAT'S THE CASE FOR YOU,
THEN THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY BECOMING A
MEMBER OF PBS WISCONSIN.
AND ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO DO
THAT IS BY BECOMING A SUSTAINING
MEMBER.
THAT MEANS THAT YOU'LL BE MAKING
AN ONGOING MONTHLY GIFT TO PBS
WISCONSIN.
YOU DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF THAT
GIFT.
YOU DETERMINE WHEN IT STARTS,
WHEN IT STOPS.
YOU CAN CHANGE THE AMOUNT.
YOU'RE REALLY STILL IN CONTROL.

BEING A SUSTAINING MEMBER, WHICH
I AM, IS THAT I KNOW MY
MEMBERSHIP IS ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE.
I DON'T THINK TO THINK ABOUT IT.
I DON'T HAVE TO SAY IS THAT THE
ONE THAT'S DUE IN MARCH OR
WHATEVER?
IT'S JUST ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE.

ONLY MAKES SENSE BECAUSE PBS
WISCONSIN IS ALWAYS THERE.
WHY SHOULDN'T MY GIFT ALWAYS BE

SUSTAINING MEMBER.
AND OUR OPERATORS HAVE ALL THE
INFORMATION YOU'LL NEED IN ORDER
TO BECOME A SUSTAINING MEMBER.

A LITTLE LESS HARD FOR OTHER
PEOPLE, BUT FOR EVERYONE IT HAS
BEEN DIFFICULT.
FOR ME PERSONALLY, I LOVE TO
TRAVEL.
I LOVE GOING PLACES, MEETING NEW
PEOPLE, EXPERIENCING NEW
CULTURE, AND IT'S BEEN HARD NOT
TO DO THAT.
THE ONE RELIEF FROM ALL OF THAT
HAS BEEN PBS WISCONSIN.
I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GO PLACES THAT
MAYBE I'VE BEEN BEFORE.
I SAW -- RIGHT BEFORE THE
PANDEMIC I WENT TO MOROCCO.
I TURNED ON PBS.
THEY HAD A MORE A SHOW ABOUT MOROCCO.
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH LONGER I CAN HANDLE
THIS, THERE WAS SOMETHING ON PBS

ME TO OTHER PLACE ALTOGETHER.

THINK ABOUT ALL THE BENEFITS IT
BRINGS TO YOU AND TO THE
CHILDREN WHO ARE LEARNING IN
PART WITH THE HELP OF PBS
WISCONSIN.
CALL 1-800-236-3636.
>> FROM THE VERY BEGINNING,
PUBLIC TELEVISION HAS BEEN
COMMITTED TO REALIZING THE
POTENTIAL OF POSITIVE MEDIA.
YOU SEE THAT EVERY SINGLE TIME
YOU TURN ON PBS WISCONSIN AND
ALL OF OUR OTHER STATIONS.
YOU LEARN THINGS.
YOU'RE CHALLENGED.
YOU'RE ENLIGHTENED.
YOU'RE ENTERTAINED.
WE'RE TRYING TO BRING POSITIVITY
IN THE WORLD, TRYING TO MAKE THE
WORLD A BETTER PLACE THROUGH
TELEVISION.
AND YOU ARE A PART OF MAKING
THAT POTENTIAL REAL.
IF THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT YOU
TURN INTO TO SHARE THE WORLD
WITH YOUR CHILDREN, IF YOU AND
YOUR HUSBAND SPEND TIME TALKING
ABOUT THE DAY'S EVENTS BECAUSE
OF PBS "NEWSHOUR," SHOW YOUR
SUPPORT RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS THE TIME TO DO IT.
GET THAT MONEY MATCHED.
IT WILL MAKE SUCH A GREAT IMPACT
TO THIS STATION.
IT WILL SHOW YOUR SUPPORT.

PROGRAMS THAT YOU COUNT ON, THAT
YOU -- THAT INSPIRE YOU TO DO
BETTER WILL BE HERE FOR YOU WHEN
YOU NEED THEM.
1-800-236-3636.
THANK YOU.
>> WE ARE FASCINATED WITH
PANDAS, AND IT'S THIS
FASCINATION WITH THE ANIMAL
ITSELF THAT HAS ALLOWED IT TO
BECOME AN AMBASSADOR FOR ITS
ENVIRONMENT AND A CONSERVATION
MOVEMENT THAT SPREAD ACROSS THE
WORLD.
IT'S A REALLY, REALLY UNIQUE
ANIMAL.
AND WE'VE HAD A CHANCE TO GET TO
LEARN IT BETTER TONIGHT BECAUSE
OF THIS PROGRAM.
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR "NATURE"
AND FOR ALL OF THE GREAT
PROGRAMS HERE ON PBS WISCONSIN
BY MAKING A DONATION RIGHT NOW.
1-800-236-3636 OR

>> I'M LINDA BERMAN, A VOLUNTEER
FOR PBS WISCONSIN AND I AM HERE
TO SAY YOUR SUPPORT, AS MICHELE
SAID, DOES MATTER SO THAT
PROGRAMS LIKE "BORN TO BE WILD"
CAN CONTINUE FOR GENERATIONS OF
QUALITY PROGRAMS THAT YOU EXPECT
FROM "NATURE."
NOW IT'S OUR TURN TO SAY WITH
YOUR PLEDGE OF SUPPORT, WE HAVE
SOME WONDERFUL THANK YOU GIFTS.
IF YOU CALL AT THE $7 A MONTH,
YOU GET THE "BORN TO BE WILD"
DVD PROGRAM ON THESE WONDERFUL
PANDAS.
AT $8 A MONTH, YOU GET THE PANDA
MUG.
WHEN YOU ADD WARM WATER TO IT,
WARM BEVERAGE, I SHOULD SAY,
COULD BE COFFEE, HOT CHOCOLATE,
IT CHANGES COLOR.
IT CHANGES FROM A BROWN BEAR OR
BLACK BEAR TO A PANDA BEAR.
SO ADORABLE.
$15 A MONTH WE HAVE THE FIVE-DVD
SET ALL ABOUT BEARS.
IT'S "BORN TO BE WILD," BEAR DVD
ABOUT GRIZZLIES, THE FORTRESS OF
BEARS ABOUT THE ALASKAN BROWN
BEAR, THE GREAT POLAR BEAR FEAST
AND THE GREAT YELLOWSTONE THAW.
THESE CAN ALL BE YOURS AT
pbswisconsin.org OR GIVE US A
CALL AT 1-800-236-3636.
>> TO CAPTURE STORIES AND TELL
THEM IN A MEANINGFUL WAY IS WHAT
WE HOPE WE CAN DO FOR YOU WEEK
AFTER WEEK HERE AT PBS
WISCONSIN.
AND THAT CAN SOMETIMES BE A
DAUNTING TASK, ESPECIALLY WHEN I
THINK ABOUT THE KINDS OF PEOPLE
WHO CREATE THESE NATURE PROGRAMS
IN PARTICULAR, WHAT THEY HAVE TO
DO.
THEY HAVE TO BE VERY PATIENT.
IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET THIS
ALL TOGETHER.
AND THEN TO THREAD IT ALL
TOGETHER INTO A STORY THAT MAKES
SENSE AND ALSO IS TRUTHFUL TO
WHAT THE ACTUAL ANIMAL IS LIKE.
THAT'S REALLY AN AMAZING
ABILITY, TALENT, TO DO THAT.
AND WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT KIND
OF THING WITH "NATURE" FOR MANY,
MANY YEARS.
FOR DECADES, ACTUALLY.
IF THAT'S THE KIND OF THING YOU
LIKE AND WANT TO SUPPORT ON
PUBLIC TELEVISION, THEN PLEASE
DO GIVE US A CALL AND BECOME A
MEMBER.
THINK ABOUT BECOMING A
SUSTAINING MEMBER, WHICH MEANS
YOU MAKE A MONTHLY RECURRING
GIFT.
YOU DETERMINE THE AMOUNT.
YOU DETERMINE IF IT GOES UP, IF
IT GOES DOWN, WHERE IT STARTS,
WHERE IT COMES FROM, CHARGE CARD
OR CHECKING ACCOUNT.
IT'S VERY SIMPLE.
IT'S THE BEST WAY TO SHOW YOUR
SUPPORT FOR PBS WISCONSIN.
GET IT ALL GOING AT
1-800-236-3636.
>> AND WHEN YOU SHOW YOUR
SUPPORT FOR PBS WISCONSIN BY
MAKING THAT DONATION AT
1-800-236-3636 OR ONLINE AT
pbswisconsin.org, YES, YOU ARE
SUPPORTING THE PROGRAM.
BUT MOVING BACK, KIND OF OPENING
THE CURTAIN A LITTLE, YOU ARE
SUPPORTING THE INCREDIBLY
TALENTED PEOPLE WHO MAKE THESE
KIND OF PROGRAMS.
WE WORK REALLY HARD TO GET THE
BEST TALENT THERE IS OUT THERE,
CREATIVE PEOPLE, PEOPLE WITH
KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL IN
PHOTOGRAPHY, DIRECTORS OF
PHOTOGRAPHY, THINGS LIKE THAT
SCENE OF THE TWO MALE BEARS
FIGHTING.
THAT WASN'T EVEN SCHEDULED TO BE
SHOT.
YOU CAN'T, YOU KNOW, TELL THE
PANDA BEAR LIKE WE'RE GOING TO
SHOOT YOU TOMORROW, HAVE A
FIGHT.
THEY JUST HAPPENED TO BE
CHECKING THE WEATHER, WENT
OUTSIDE, CAME UPON THIS SCENE
AND WERE LIKE THIS IS BRILLIANT
DOCUMENTARY FOOTAGE.
THAT'S TALENT TO RECOGNIZE THAT
KIND OF THING.
THAT'S WHAT YOUR DONATION HELPS
SUPPORT, QUALITY PROGRAMMING,
FAMILY-FRIENDLY PROGRAMMING,
INFORMATIVE PROGRAMMING,
PROGRAMMING THAT HELPS INSPIRE
AND ENLIGHTEN YOU.
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT AT
pbswisconsin.org OR
1-800-236-3636.
>> AS MICHELE SAID, THESE ARE
PROGRAMS, PROGRAMS THAT SHOW
YOU, INSPIRE YOU, ENTERTAIN YOU,
PROGRAMS LIKE "NATURE," "BORN TO
BE WILD."
AND YET WE ARE HERE BECAUSE THIS
QUALITY PROGRAM ALSO NEEDS YOUR
SUPPORT.
SO THAT COUNTS RIGHT NOW.
SO SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION FOR
QUALITY PROGRAMS BY BECOMING A
SUPPORTER OF PBS WISCONSIN.
VERY EASY TO DO.

>> CONSIDER HOW MUCH YOU'VE
LEARNED TONIGHT.
YES, YOU'VE BEEN ENTERTAINED.
THEY WERE ADORABLE LITTLE
PANDAS.
BUT YOU ALSO LEARNED A LOT ABOUT
THE PANDAS.
AND IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN AT
HOME, THEY LEARNED A LOT ABOUT
THE PANDAS.
WHILE LAUGHING AND SAYING, OH,
HOW CUTE THEY ARE!
PRIOR TO THIS, HAD I SEEN A
PANDA IN THE WILD?
PROBABLY WOULD HAVE WANTED TO
HUG IT.
NOW I KNOW IT COULD PROBABLY RIP
MY FACE OFF.
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO
HAVE AND YOU LEARNED IT RIGHT
HERE.
KIDS, YOU LEARN THAT.
TOO.
CUTE, BUT WATCH IT.
YOU COUNT ON PBS TO BRING YOU
FUN, TO BRING YOU LEARNING, TO
BRING YOU ADVENTURE.
THAT ADVENTURE IS DUE IN PART TO
YOU, BY YOU MAKING THAT DONATION
OF SUPPORT.
NOW DO IT.
SHOW THAT SUPPORT.
YOU KNOW YOUR FAMILY WANTS YOU
TO TO.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF PICKING UP
THE PHONE.

US AND BECOME A SUPPORTER AT

>> "AIRWAVES" IS, AS LINDA HAS
BEEN TALKING ABOUT, SORT OF YOUR
GUIDE.
IT'S LITERALLY YOUR GUIDE TO
WHAT'S ON PBS WISCONSIN.
IT'S YOUR GUIDE TO THE FINEST
PROGRAMMING I THINK YOU'LL FIND
ON TELEVISION.
FOR YEARS I WOULD HAVE PEOPLE
TELL ME THAT THEY WOULD GET
THEIR PROGRAM GUIDE, THEY'D GET
"AIRWAVES" AND THEY'D CIRCLE
THOSE THINGS FOR THE WHOLE
MONTH.
I SAID, WELL, YEAH, I'M SURE
THAT'S WHAT YOU DO.
WELL, I'VE BECOME ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE.
I NOW CIRCLE THINGS AND MAKE
SURE I KNOW WHAT'S COMING UP SO
I DON'T MISS ANYTHING.
I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE I DON'T
HAVE ACCESS TO CABLE OR
SATELLITE OR OTHER SERVICES.
SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT I
KNOW WHAT'S ON AND WHEN IT'S ON.
AND "AIRWAVES" TELLS ME THAT AND
I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO GET IT
EVERY MONTH.
IT'S ONE OF THE MANY BENEFITS OF
MEMBERSHIP AT PBS WISCONSIN.
AND IT'S MEMBERSHIP IN THE BEST
BROADCAST TELEVISION YOU'RE
GOING TO FIND ANYWHERE, I THINK.
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU FIND HERE,
LIKE THE "NATURE" PROGRAM WE'VE
JUST SEEN.
SO PLEASE DO SUPPORT PBS
WISCONSIN.
DO IT TONIGHT.
WHY NOT?
IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT NOW BY
CALLING US AT 1-800-236-3636.
>> LINDA AND MICHAEL HAVE BEEN
TELLING YOU ALL DURING THIS
PROGRAM ABOUT THE GREAT BENEFITS
THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU BY
BECOMING A MEMBER OF PBS
WISCONSIN RIGHT NOW.
AND THEY ARE.
THEY ARE REALLY AMAZING
BENEFITS.
PASSPORT, WONDERFUL.
YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY IT.
AND "AIRWAVES" IS KIND OF
PRICELESS, ESPECIALLY IN THIS
DAY AND AGE.
I LOVE THE IDEA OF CIRCLING.
THAT WOULD BE A GREAT THING YOU
CAN DO WITH YOUR KIDS.
WE CAN WORK ON READING AND YOU
CAN SEE PROGRAMS.
BUT THE BIGGEST THING IS THE
PROGRAMS THEMSELVES.
THEY FEED YOUR CURIOSITY.
WE'RE ALL NATURALLY CURIOUS.
IT STARTS AT BIRTH.
AND IF YOU ARE A VIEWER TO PBS
WISCONSIN, YOU PROBABLY HAVE
CONTINUED THAT FOR YOUR ENTIRE
LIFE.
THAT'S WHY YOU SEEK OUT PBS
WISCONSIN, BECAUSE WE NURTURE
YOUR CURIOSITY.
SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION FOR THAT
AND ALL THE GREAT PROGRAMS.
SHOW IT RIGHT NOW.
