>> HI.
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 ACT
! ABILITY
TO THINK
THROUGH ISSUES
THAT NEED SOME
KIND OF
BACKGROUND. SO IT'S
WORTH INVESTING
IN BY
CALLING 1-800-236-3636. >> HI.

THAT WE CERTAINLY GET
FUNDING FROM THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND

THAT'S IMPORTANT. BUT THE
MOST IMPORTANT
FUNDING ACTUALLY COMES FROM
YOU AND
ME, 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,

HIGHLIGHT FROM ONE

MADISON WAS GREAT.
IT WAS THE

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

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 WA
S LIKE WHO ARE

WANT SOMETHING
SMOOTH. OKAY.

FULL-BODIED AND
SMOOTH AND WE CAME
UP WITH

IS THE GIFT,
ISN'T IT?

YOU'RE OUT
IN FRONT OF THE
PRODUCTION, BUT

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,

>> HI.
I'M ERIC GREILING. I'M
THE DIRECTOR
OF FRIENDS
OF PBS WISCONSIN. I LOVE
THURSDAY NIGHTS
ON PBS WISCONSIN. LET ME
TELL YOU
ABOUT THURSDAY
NIGHTS. THURSDAY NIGHTS
ARE REALLY
SPECIAL BECAUSE USUALLY
ON THURSDAY
NIGHTS DURING

ARE TWO
VERY SPECIAL
CAT TBOARS
! !
CATEGORIES OF SHOWS:
SHOWS WE

WE ACQUIRE
JUST FOR YOU.
WE HAVE
SOMEONE WHO GOES

THE KIND
OF PROGRAMS YOU'RE
GOING TO

WORKED HARD TO

HERE. PLEASE CONSIDER
BECOMING A SUSTAINER AND SHOW

FOR DOC MARTIN AND
THESE WONDERFUL KINDS
OF PROGRAMS

YOU'LL STAY A MEMBER AS LONG AS
YOU KEEP
THOSE PAYMENTS
ACTIVE. GIVE
US A CALL
RIGHT NOW
IF YOU
WOULD. 1-800-236-3636.
>> 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. >>

LOTS OF
WONDERFUL THANK YOU GIFTS THIS

RIGHT. 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
AND MAKE YOUR
PLEDGE. THANK
YOU.

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 PART
! !
THEY 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.
IT'S EASY,
ONGOING. YOU DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY
ABOUT WHETHER YOUR
MEMBERSHIP HAS
LAPSED. GIVE
US A CALL
RIGHT NOW.
USE THAT QR
CODE IF
YOU PREFER.
1-800-236-3636. >> 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

NOT JUST
NAMES. THESE
ARE REALLY
IMPORTANT SERVICES. THAT'S
WHERE DOC MARTIN

ABOUT 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 WISCONS
IN. 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.
