STUDIO
>> HI.
I'M JAMES STEINBACH.
I'M A VOLUNTEER HERE AT PBS
WISCONSIN.
WE'RE TAKING JUST A REAL QUICK
BREAK FROM THE "NEWSHOUR."
AND THE THING I LOVE ABOUT THE
"NEWSHOUR," IT'S HARD TO SAY YOU
LOVE A NEWS SHOW BECAUSE THE
CONTENT IS SO DIFFICULT NOW, BUT
IS THAT IT'S ALL ABOUT INTEGRITY
AND IT'S ALL ABOUT DIGNITY
REALLY.
THE "NEWSHOUR" RESPECTS YOU,
RESPECTS US AS AN AUDIENCE.
IT REALLY SAYS EVERY NIGHT THIS
IS WORTH WATCHING NOT BECAUSE
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL
THESE FACTS, NECESSARILY, BUT
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU
BACKGROUND, CONTEXT, ANALYSIS.
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU MEANING
AND VALUE.
AND IF YOU STOP FOR A SECOND AND
THINK ABOUT THAT, HOW OFTEN DO
YOU GET THAT FROM YOUR TV SET?
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT OFTEN.
A LOT OF GREAT THINGS YOU GET
ABOUT WATCHING MANY SHOWS, BUT
THE ONE THING YOU GET OUT OF
WATCHING THE "NEWSHOUR" IS A
DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE
WORLD, YOUR PART IN IT AND AN
ACTABILITY TO THINK THROUGH ISSUES
THAT NEED SOME KIND OF
BACKGROUND.
SO IT'S WORTH INVESTING IN BY
CALLING 1-800-236-3636.

FROM MEMBERS.
IT'S AN IMPORTANT THING TO
REMEMBER, THAT PUBLIC TELEVISION
IS ALL ABOUT YOU AND ME, THE
PUBLIC.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN ASIDE KIND
OF, BUT IN 1975 WHEN THE
"NEWSHOUR" WAS BEGINNING TO BE
INVENTED I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH AS A
YOUNG PRODUCER TO BE A FLY ON
THE WALL IN THE MEETING TALKING
ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO
DO.
THE EMPHASIS WAS ON INTEGRITY
AND TRUST IN THE AUDIENCE, THAT
IF A PROGRAM WAS DONE THAT
REALLY GAVE PEOPLE CONTEXT AND
BACKGROUND AND INSIGHT, THAT
THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT AN
AUDIENCE WOULD WANT.
THEY DIDN'T JUST WANT THE
HEADLINES.
AND AT THAT TIME I WAS PRETTY
YOUNG AND I THOUGHT THIS IS
SOMETHING I NEED TO REMEMBER ALL
MY LIFE.
AND I HOPE I HAVE.
AND I HOPE YOU DO, CALL.
CALL US AT 1-800-236-3636.
>> I THINK THAT'S SO TRUE,
JAMES.

YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING MOST OF
YOUR LIFE.

AFTER GENERATION WE CAN TRUST

EVENING AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT.

A SUSTAINER, LET US THANK YOU

STORMS.
I MEAN, WE'RE A PLACE THAT YOU

SHOW, THE PEOPLE THEY'RE TALKING
TO ARE REALLY ENJOYING IT.

MCGIVERN'S SHOW IS HE GETS INTO
A NORMAL LIFE IN A NORMAL TOWN
AND MAKES IT SOMETHING THAT YOU
AND I CAN APPRECIATE AND REALLY
THINK THAT'S PRETTY COOL.
I THINK I'LL GO THERE.

POINT, IS TO SAY IN HIS MAIN

SOMETHING REALLY WORTH DOING.

YOUR CHANCE TO PLEDGE TO PBS
WISCONSIN DURING THIS CHALLENGE
BREAK AT 1-800-236-3636.
JOHN, EARLIER YOU MENTIONED SOME
OF THE COMMUNITIES YOU'LL BE
VISITING IN UPCOMING SEASON
THREE.
>> YES.
>> GIVE US A LITTLE HIGHLIGHT
FROM ONE OF THOSE TOWNS, MADISON
OR WAUKESHA.
>> MADISON WAS GREAT.
IT WAS THE FINAL EPISODE WE
SHOT.
WE DO SOMETHING CALLED THE JOHN
MCGIVERN BUS TOUR.
PEOPLE GO ON A BUS TO GO WHERE
JOHN MCGIVERN'S GONE AND THEY
SHOW UP WHERE WE'RE SHOOTING.
AND WHERE THEY SHOWED UP WAS
MADISON.
AND THEY GOT A TOUR OF YOUR
STUDIO, WISCONSIN PBS STUDIO.
AND I GOT TO TALK WITH ANGELA
FITZGERALD.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE INTERVIEWS
WE DID, WHO IS THE HOST OF
"WISCONSIN LIFE."
SO THEY HAVE TWO HOSTS OF PBS
SERIES COME TOGETHER AND TALK
ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO MAKE
TELEVISION FOR PBS WAS SUCH A
TREAT FOR ME.
IT'S SO FUN BECAUSE ANGELA IS
LIKE WHAT ARE THE QUESTIONS?
I'M NOT TELLING YOU THE
QUESTIONS.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO TALK.
IT WAS A GREAT INTERVIEW.
MADISON BEING CLOSE TO HOME, I
LIVE IN DOWNTOWN MILWAUKEE, TO
BE SO CLOSE TO HOME AFTER
TRAVELING ALL SUMMER AND GOING
SO FAR AWAY FROM HOME IN THE
OTHER STATES, IT WAS GREAT TO BE
SO CLOSE.
MADISON'S A GREAT TOWN.
WE DID STATE STREET FROM THE
CAPITOL TO THE UNIVERSITY AND WE
DID ALL OF STATE STREET AND
INCLUDED YOU GUYS, WHICH WAS
REALLY FUN.
>> GREAT TO HAVE YOU IN MADISON
BOTH FOR THE SHOW AND FOR TODAY.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
>> SURE.
>> AS YOU GO AROUND THE STATE,
YOU SEE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES
AND A LOT OF DIFFERENCES.
WHAT ARE SOME THAT STOOD OUT TO
YOU, THE SIMILARITIES AS YOU GO
FROM TOWN TO TOWN TO TOWN?
>> WE CALL OUR TOWN "MAIN
STREETS."
EVERYBODY TAKES PRIDE IN THEIR
TOWN.
EVERYBODY REALLY WANTS TO SHOW
WHAT'S BEST ABOUT WHY THEY LIVE
THERE, WHY THEY WORK THERE, WHY
THEY PLAY THERE.
SO SIMILAR FEELINGS AROUND
OWNERSHIP OF COMMUNITY IS ALWAYS
-- WE ALWAYS LEAVE THERE GOING
THESE PEOPLE LOVE THEIR
COMMUNITY.
AND WE END UP AFTER FIVE DAYS OF
BEING THERE END UP LOVING IT AS
WELL.
SO IT'S VERY SIMILAR
FEELING-WISE.
YOU GET TO SEE OTHER STUFF.
MANUFACTURING.
I LOVE WHEN WE'RE ABLE TO GET
INSIDE A FACTORY AND SAY THIS IS
WHAT THEY MAKE HERE, HERE'S THE
PEOPLE THAT MAKE IT.
THAT TOUCHES MY LIFE.
HERE IN INDIANA IS WHERE THEY
MAKE THAT STUFF.
WHAT'S NOT SIMILAR IS THE PLACES
WE GO TO, BUT THE COMMUNITY
FEELING IS ALWAYS THE SAME.
>> SPEAKING OF THE FEELING
AROUND COMMUNITY, PBS WISCONSIN
IS YOUR TV COMMUNITY.
EXPRESS THAT FEELING BY MAKING
YOUR PLEDGE RIGHT NOW AT
1-800-236-3636.
THANKS.
>> THAT WAS GREAT.
IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO SEE JOHN IN

THE PHONES ARE RINGING, SO
INCIDENCE IS THE PHONES ARE
RINGING, LET'S GO STRAIGHT TO
ANOTHER VIDEO.
>> BACK ON THE STUDIO WITH JOHN.
JUST A BRIEF BREAK IN THE SHOW.
ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO
ASK YOU ABOUT, JOHN, BECAUSE I'M
A COFFEE FANATIC AND YOU'VE GOT
THIS GREAT BAG OF COFFEE.
YOU VISITED THE FOLKS AT LUNA
COFFEE.
TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THOSE FOLKS UP THERE.
>> MARK STARTED LUNA COFFEE.
IT'S A POPULAR PLACE TO VISIT
NOT ONLY FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO
LIVE THERE WHO SPEND THEIR
MORNINGS AT LUNA COFFEE, BUT FOR
VISITORS AS WELL.
HE PROMISED ME THAT WE COULD
CREATE A ROAST THAT WE WOULD
CALL "HIT THE ROAD."
SO IT'S "JOHN MCGIVERN'S MAIN
STREETS" SPECIFIC ROAST.
TO GET TO THAT, WE WENT THROUGH
A FEW BEANS.
WE HAD A TASTE, WHICH, CAN I
TELL YOU, THEY'RE SERIOUS.
COFFEE PEOPLE ARE SERIOUS.
SO TO HAVE THAT TASTE OF -- HE
SAID WE WANT SOMETHING
FULL-BODIED.
I WAS LIKE WHO ARE YOU TALKING
TO?
WE WANT SOMETHING SMOOTH.
OKAY.
WE'LL GO FULL-BODIED AND SMOOTH
AND WE CAME UP WITH THIS.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT OUR
AUDIENCE CAN GET THIS
THEMSELVES.
THIS IS THE GIFT, ISN'T IT?
>> YEAH.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ENJOYING
SOME.
>> YEAH.
>> JOHN, YOU'RE OUT IN FRONT OF
THE PRODUCTION, BUT IT TAKES A
WHOLE TEAM TO MAKE THE SHOW
POSSIBLE.
>> YEAH.
>> YOU WANT TO TALK A LITTLE
ABOUT THE TEAM YOU WORK WITH?
>> I LOVE THE FACT THAT WHEREVER
WE ARE PEOPLE WILL COME UP, I'LL
BE WITH THE CREW AND WE'LL BE
LIKE, JOHN, WE LOVE YOUR SHOW,
AND THE CREW'S LIKE, BECAUSE I
SIT IN THE BEING BA OF THE VAN,
BUT MY JOB IS TO TALK TO PEOPLE.
THERE'S A GOOD DOZEN PEOPLE

WITHOUT THEM.
THE CREW, THERE'S FOUR OF US ON
THE ROAD AND ANOTHER TEN PEOPLE
IN IN THE OFFICE THAT DEAL WITH
ALL OF IT.
AND, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T TELL YOU
HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR ALL OF
THEM.

SPEAKING OF BEING ON THE ROAD.

I'M THE DIRECTOR OF FRIENDS OF

TIME THERE ARE TWO VERY SPECIAL
CAT TBOARSCATEGORIES OF SHOWS: SHOWS WE
MAKE HERE AND SHOWS WE ACQUIRE
JUST FOR YOU.
WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO GOES OUT ON

>> YOU KNOW, ERIC JUST SAID AN
IMPORTANT THING.
A LITTLE BIT OF INSIDE BASEBALL,
BUT WE GET OUR PROGRAMS FROM
MANY PLACES.
THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES, OF
COURSE, ARE THE ONES WE MAKE.
BUT WE GET PROGRAMS FROM PBS.
WE ALSO GET PROGRAMS WHEN THE
PROGRAMMING FOLKS GO OUT AND BUY
PROGRAMS THAT WILL MAKE A
DIFFERENCE HERE.
THERE'S NOTHING ACCIDENTAL OR
CASUAL ABOUT PUTTING TOGETHER
THE PROGRAM SCHEDULE.
IT REALLY IS DESIGNED TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE PROGRAMS WORK
TOGETHER AND THAT THEY'RE THE
RIGHT TIME OF DAY FOR KIDS OR
ADULTS.
IT'S PART OF WHAT MAKES PBS
WISCONSIN SO WONDERFUL, I THINK.
THE OTHER PART IS SUPPORT.
AND YOU KNOW THAT WE GET SOME
MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
I THINK IT'S ABOUT 10%.
WE GET SOME FROM THE STATE.
BUT THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT
SUPPORT FOR PBS WISCONSIN IS
FROM YOU, FROM US, FROM ALL OF
US WHO SUPPORT PBS WISCONSIN
WITH OUR MEMBERSHIP AND THOSE
DONATIONS ARE THE THING THAT
KEEP -- THAT'S WHAT KEEPS US ON
THE AIR.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE ABLE TO
CONTINUE MAKING THESE PROGRAMS
AND BUYING THESE PROGRAMS
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT CHEAP, FOR
YOU.
SO CALL US AT 1-800-236-3636.

THANK YOU GIFTS THIS EVENING

WHATEVER YOU CAN GIVE IS THE
RIGHT AMOUNT TO GIVE.
WE HAVE SUGGESTED LEVELS AS
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT, BUT THE
AMOUNT THAT YOU CAN SUPPORT IS
THE RIGHT AMOUNT FOR YOU.
ONE OF THE WAYS I THINK ABOUT
SUPPORTING PBS IS THERE WERE
TIMES IN MY LIFE WHEN THAT
WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN.
I HAD OTHER THINGS I HAD TO
SPEND MONEY ON.
AND NOW I CAN.
AND IN YOUR LIFE, THERE ARE
PROBABLY NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS,
FAMILY WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO
SUPPORT PBS WISCONSIN, BUT WHO
BENEFIT FROM IT, AND YOU IN A
WAY CAN PAY IT FORWARD FOR THEM.
SO THINK ABOUT DOING THAT
BECAUSE IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
AND CALL US AT 1-800-236-3636

FAULTY TOWERS, THIS IS A PLACE
WHERE YOU CAN FIND REALLY FUNNY
SHOWS.

FUNNY WITH HEART.
IT'S NOT JUST AMUSING AND
ENTERTAINING.
IT'S REALLY I THINK LETTING YOU
IN ON PEOPLE'S LIVES.
NOW, I KNOW IT'S DRAMA, BUT
THESE CHARACTERS ARE SO WELL
EXPRESSED THAT IT'S ALMOST LIKE
YOU'RE LIVING IN THIS
NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY'RE PART OF
YOUR COMMUNITY.
I THINK THAT'S A SIGN OF REALLY
QUALITY WRITING AND PRODUCING
AND DIRECTING, QUALITY SHOWS.

EXPECT AND DESERVE ON PBS
WISCONSIN.

>> HI.
I'M ERIC GREILING, DIRECTOR OF
FRIENDS OF PBS WISCONSIN.
ISN'T IT GREAT TO HAVE QUALITY
DRAMAS LIKE DOC MARTIN ON PBS
WISCONSIN COMING TO YOU FREE
INTO YOUR LIVING ROOM TONIGHT?
WELL, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SEASON,
YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS IT'S NOT
EASY.
IT'S ALSO NOT CHEAP.
OUR DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMMING GOES
OUT AND ACQUIRES PROGRAMS LIKE
DOC MARTIN.
THEY ARE PARTTHEY AREN'T PART OF OUR PBS
MEMBERSHIP.
HE WORKS HARD TO FIND THOSE
PROGRAMS, BRING THEM HERE, WORKS
SOME DEALS TO GET THEM HERE FOR
YOU.
THE BEST WAY YOU CAN HELP THAT,
HELP YOURSELF ENJOY PROGRAMS
LIKE THAT, IS TO BECOME A
SUSTAINER.
BECOMING A SUSTAINER JUST MEANS
YOU'RE MAKING A MONTHLY,
AUTOMATIC PAYMENT FROM YOUR
CREDIT CARD OR FROM YOUR
CHECKING ACCOUNT.
IT'S ONGOING.
WE KNOW THAT YOUR SUPPORT IS
THERE AND WE CAN COUNT ON IT AND
WE CAN BUDGET TO GO OUT AND
ACQUIRE PROGRAMS LIKE DOC MARTIN
AND OTHER GREAT INTERNATIONAL
AND BRITISH DRAMAS.
FOR YOU, THE BENEFIT IS SIMPLE.

WHETHER YOUR MEMBERSHIP HAS
LAPSED.

>> SO WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE, THE
MIDST OF OUR YEAR ENDZ
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE AND THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT TIME FOR US BECAUSE
THIS CAN REALLY HELP US WITH OUR
FINANCIAL END-OF-YEAR.
THIS IS EXPENSIVE.
THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT.
TV IS NOT CHEAP.
AND THE REASON WE'RE ABLE TO DO
THIS, CERTAINLY WE DO GET FUNDS
FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, BUT
THAT'S A RELATIVELY SMALL
AMOUNT.
I THINK IT'S ONLY 10%, SOMETHING
LIKE THAT.
WE GET SUPPORT FROM THE STATE.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT SUPPORT
WE GET IS FROM VIEWERS, FROM
YOU, FROM ME, ALL OF US TOGETHER
SUPPORTING PBS WISCONSIN.
CALL US AT 1-800-236-3636 AND
CONTINUE THAT REALLY WONDERFUL
LINE THAT'S BEEN GOING FOR
DECADES OF SUPPORTING PUBLIC

WASN'T GOING TO REVEAL WHAT
HAPPENS NEXT.
AND I AM NOT GOING TO REVEAL
THAT, EITHER.
BUT I AM GOING TO REVEAL THAT I
DO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
BECAUSE WHEN I WAS WATCHING THIS
EPISODE LAST NIGHT ON PASSPORT,

EPISODE, TOO.

>> I WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE, ERIC
MENTIONED THIS, ONCE AGAIN I'M
THANKING ERIC.
THIS IS NOT GOOD.
BUT HE DID MENTION THIS.
THE VOLUNTEERS IN THE STUDIO.
DURING THE WORST OF COVID, THERE
WERE NO VOLUNTEERS IN THE STUDIO
BECAUSE WE COULDN'T DO THAT.
AND IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE
FOR US TO HAVE REAL PEOPLE HERE,
IN THE SAME WAY THAT WATCHING
REALLY WONDERFUL DRAMA AND THE
IMPORTANT PROGRAMS WE HAVE ON
PBS MAKE A DIFFERENCE AS YOU'RE
WATCHING AS A VIEWER.
ALL THOSE THINGS COUNT IN TERMS
OF WHAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE, WHAT
MATTERS TO YOU.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK FOR THE
VOLUNTEER GROUPS THAT CAME IN
DURING THIS DRIVE, THE
UNIVERSITY LEAGUE AND THE
BUSINESS BADGERS AND BEYOND AND
TELL YOU THAT IF YOU WOULD LIKE
TO VOLUNTEER FOR PBS WISCONSIN,
IN FEBRUARY, I'M SURE YOU
REMEMBER THIS, WE HAVE THE
GARDEN AND LANDSCAPE EXPO.
THAT'S SOMETHING WHICH IS ALWAYS
IN NEED OF VOLUNTEERS.

SOME GREAT WAYS WE CAN SAY THANK
YOU TO YOU FOR YOUR GIFT RIGHT
NOW DURING DOC MARTIN, DURING
THIS PLEDGE BREAK.
THERE ARE SO MANY BENEFITS TO
SUPPORTING PBS WISCONSIN HERE ON
THE SCREEN.
BUT I ALSO THINK ONE OF THE BEST
BENEFITS TO SUPPORTING PBS
WISCONSIN IS THAT FEELING YOU
GET WHEN YOU KNOW YOU'RE DOING
WHAT YOU CAN TO KEEP THIS GREAT
PROGRAMMING COMING, TO TAKE PART
IN THIS EXPERIMENT THAT IS
PUBLIC TELEVISION.
WE DO A LOT BEYOND THE
BROADCAST, A LOT OF EDUCATIONAL
WORK, COMMUNITY WORK, IN
ADDITION TO WHAT YOU SEE, THE
PROGRAMS THAT YOU ENJOY, THESE
WONDERFUL PROGRAMS, THESE
WONDERFUL DRAMAS COMING FROM THE
UK AND ELSEWHERE, THE GREAT
NATIONAL FLAGSHIP PROGRAMS YOU
ENJOY, NATURE, "NOVA,"
MASTERPIECE, "FRONTLINE" AS WELL
AS THE PROGRAMS WE MAKE HERE IN
WISCONSIN ABOUT WISCONSIN FOR
WISCONSIN.
YOUR SUPPORT MAKES ALL OF THAT
POSSIBLE.
SO WHEN YOU HEAR VIEWERS LIKE
YOU, MADE POSSIBLE BY VIEWERS
LIKE YOU, THAT FEELS GOOD.
AND WHEN YOU GET "AIRWAVES"
MAGAZINE, YOU KNOW THAT YOU'VE
ALSO DONE YOUR PART TO SUPPORT
PBS WISCONSIN, TO MAKE THIS
IMPORTANT SERVICE AVAILABLE TO
YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR
COMMUNITY.
GIVE US A CALL, 1-800-236-3636.
>> YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S ONE
THING THAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHEN
YOU THINK ABOUT PBS WISCONSIN,
FEW THINGS.
ONE IS QUALITY.
AND THE OTHER IS INTEGRITY.
THOSE ARE TWO REALLY IMPORTANT
GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR WHAT WE
DO.
THE JOURNALISM ON PBS WISCONSIN,
WHETHER IT'S THE "NEWSHOUR,"
"FRONTLINE," ""HERE AND NOW"" IS
LASER SHARP IN MAKING SURE THAT
WE BRING TOGETHER AN
UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE ISSUES.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE KIDS'
PROGRAMS, I MEAN, PBS HAS
DEFINED QUALITY CHILDREN'S
PROGRAMMING.
THE DRAMAS THAT WE HAVE ARE THE
FINEST YOU'RE GOING TO FIND.
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT A PROGRAM
LIKE DOC MARTIN AND YOU THINK
WHERE ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO GET
IT?
WELL, YOU'RE NOT.
YOU'RE SIMPLY NOT GOING TO.
IT'S BECAUSE THE FOLKS HERE WENT
OUT, AS WE SAID, AND SAW THAT
SHOW AND SAID THIS IS GOING TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN WISCONSIN.
PEOPLE WILL LIKE THIS.
AND YOU DO.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING YOU
TO PLEDGE.
CALL US AT 1-800-236-3636.
MAKE YOUR PLEDGE OF SUPPORT FOR
DOC MARTIN AND ALL THE PROGRAMS
ON PBS WISCONSIN, THE SERVICE
YOU TRUST.
SO CALL US, KEEP ON WATCHING,
AND THANK YOU.
