patternsAmerican Archive Pilot Project: The future of access to the past?By Jack Brighton Director of New Media & Innovation

For some months we’ve been working on a proj-ect to recover some of the most interesting WILL productions of the past 60 years. The American Ar-chive Pilot Project, funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, awarded grants to discover, digitize, and make available local TV and radio ar-chives buried in tape libraries and closets through-out the country. Illinois Public Media has been able to find important archives going back to 1955, not seen or heard since their original broadcast.

The American Archive Pilot Project focused on two areas of content: the Civil Rights Movement from 1954 to 1975, and local productions related to the Ken Burns documentary, The War. WILL covered civil rights issues throughout this period, but production records are nowhere to be found. We discovered a great deal of material in the University of Illinois Archives, indexed by subject and date in a card catalog. Among the hundreds of hours of WILL recordings we found:

• 1955 panel discussion on freedom featuring Carl Sandburg

• 1956 talk by Thurgood Marshall on human rights• 1956 lecture and reading by Langston Hughes• 1968 presentation of the Kerner Report on Civil

Disorders by Illinois Governor Otto Kerner• 1975 lecture by Martin Luther King, Sr.• 1969 lecture entitled “How Long” by James

Baldwin• Several talks by Jesse Jackson in the late 1960s

and early 1970s• Programs with Dick Gregory from 1967 into the

early 1970s• 1972 conference on women’s rights featuring

Gloria Steinem• 1973 conference on the changing status of

women with Betty Friedan and others• Program on the Chicago Seven Trial featuring

lead counsel Howard Kuntsler• 1968 talk on racial discrimination by Dr. Benja-

min SpockWe also have some 100 hours of content we pro-duced during WILL’s Central Illinois WWII Stories project. All these materials have been digitized, cataloged, and submitted to the American Archive Pilot Project. We’re making public as much as possible based on rights clearances.

PATTERNS • JANUARY 2010 �

New introspection for a new year.

It’s time to tap into the infinite possibilities of 2010! And we have just the programs to help you better understand our uniquely human abilities, emotions and happiness.

This Emotional Life is a new three-part PBS documentary that explores ways we can improve social relationships, learn to cope with depression and anxiety, and become more positive, resilient individu-als. The series host, Harvard psychologist and best-selling author of Stumbling on Happiness, Daniel Gilbert, talks with experts about the latest science on what makes us “tick” and how we can find support for the emotional issues we all face. Each episode weaves the compelling personal stories of ordinary people and the latest scientific research, along with revealing comments from celebrities such as Chevy Chase, Larry David, Alanis Morissette, Robert Kennedy Jr. and Richard Gere.

The first episode—Family, Friends & Lovers—debuts on WILL-TV at 8 pm Monday, Jan. 4, with a look at the impor-tance of relationships and why they are central to emotional well-being. The next evening at 8 pm, Facing Our Fears examines emotions—anger, fear, anxiety and de-spair—that are commonly regarded as ob-stacles to happiness, as well as how we can best manage them. At 8 pm Wednesday, Jan. 6, the final episode, Rethinking Happiness, explores what defines happi-ness, why it is important and how we can attain more of it.

At 7 pm that evening, another three-part series, The Human Spark, delves into the unique abilities—to think in symbols; re-combine those symbols into infinite mean-ings; invent a technology to disseminate the message; ponder the past; speculate about the future; imagine the unknown; build cities; compose music—that consti-tute the essence of being human.

Join host Alan Alda for part one, Becoming Us, as he travels to the Dordogne region of France to examine spectacular paintings and carvings that date back some 30,000 years. He hopes to discover if this art repre-sents the first instance of people who were capable of innovative technology and sym-bolic communication, as archeologists be-lieve—or whether this spark first ignited at a much earlier time on another continent.

In part two—So Human, So Chimp—at 7 pm Wednesday, Jan. 13, Alda joins researchers studying our fellow simians—mainly chim-panzees, our closest living relatives—to discover both what we share with them and what new skills humans evolved since we went our separate ways. continued next page

Clockwise: Alanis Morissette, Larry David, John McEnroe, Chevy Chase and Alan Alda

� PATTERNS • JANUARY 2010

In the final segment, Brain Matters, view-ers literally peer into Alda’s head with a variety of high-tech imaging techniques, looking for his human spark. This pro-gram airs at 7 pm Wednesday, Jan. 20.

Continuing on an introspective path, AM 580 debuts four new programs in The Really Big Questions series, hosted by NPR’s Lynn Neary. The Really Big Questions considers the intersection of empirical science and the humanities, along with what that conversation can or cannot tell us about who we are and what we value.

Airing at 6 pm Saturdays, the first pro-gram (Jan. 9) asks how emotions shape our worldview. To find out, Neary inter-views a philosopher, an author, a French political strategist and a historian. In the second one-hour feature (Jan. 16), Neary talks with a group of leading thinkers to discover the latest theories of conscious-ness, focusing on what animal minds can tell us about human minds. The third program (Jan. 23) queries lead-ing researchers on whether the fear of death shapes how we live. What results is an engaging conversation about how we handle life and death. The last program of the series (Jan. 30) explores whether science can explain why we believe—or don’t believe—in religion and its answers to significant life questions.

Then at 5:06 pm, The 1968 Comeback Special goes beyond the original one-hour broadcast to feature backstage rehearsal sessions and alternate studio takes of other music recorded for the TV special. At 6 pm, From Elvis in Memphis goes behind the scenes to the 1969 recording sessions for the al-bum which featured “Suspicious Minds,” “In the Ghetto,” and “Kentucky Rain.” Our 7 pm special, Viva Las Vegas, captures the energy of Elvis’s sold-out shows at the International and Hilton Hotels. In con-trast, He Touched Me: Elvis’ Gospel Music closes out the last hour of this special eve-ning from 8-9 pm.

The University of Illinois is coping with a state budget crisis and an overhaul of the university’s leadership after an admissions scandal. How will the university handle these challenges? Find out and be a part of the dialogue.

EMaiL QUESTiONS BEFOREHaNd to [email protected].

Focus on the U of I in Transition

Dame Judi Dench stars in Return to Cranford, the highly anticipated sequel to the Emmy-nominated Cranford miniseries, based on the novels of Elizabeth Gaskell. Imelda Staunton, Francesca Annis and Julia McKenzie rejoin the cast in the acclaimed story of everyday life in a small Cheshire market town. The two-part series airs at 8 pm Sundays, Jan. 10 and 17.

Then at 8 pm Jan. 24 and 31, Emma is a fiercely funny adaptation of Jane Austen’s delightful love story. It stars Romola Garai (Atonement) as a young woman whose at-tempts to play Cupid go disastrously awry. Rich, beautiful and hopelessly self-deluded, Emma Woodhouse can’t help meddling in the romantic life of others while neglect-ing her own. Jonny Lee Miller (Endgame, Eli Stone) stars as Emma’s stalwart friend, Mr. Knightley, with Michael Gambon (Cranford, Harry Potter) as her doom-obsessed father.

Illinois Public Media and WSIU Public Broadcasting, Carbondale, are teaming up to present Republican and Democratic de-bates for candidates in the Feb. 2 Illinois gubernatorial primary.

Republican candidates will meet in the WILL-TV studio at 8 pm Thursday, Jan. 14, while Democrats face off at WSIU at 8 pm Thursday, Jan. 21. The debates will air on PBS television and public radio sta-tions statewide. WILL-TV and WSIU-TV will carry both debates live. The program will be streamed live at will.illinois.edu.

All the candidates have agreed or tenta-tively agreed to participate. Republican candidates are Adam Andrzejewski, State Sen. Bill Brady, State Sen. Kirk Dillard, Andy McKenna, Dan Proft, Jim Ryan and Bob Schillerstrom. WILL-TV’s John Paul will moderate the Republican debate.

Democratic candidates are Gov. Pat Quinn, Dan Hynes, Ed Scanlan and William “Dock” Walls. WSIU’s Jak Tichenor will moderate the Democratic debate.

All-new offerings on Masterpiece Classic

Above right: Judi Dench and cast in Cranford. Immediate right: Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller in Emma.

These stations are producing the debates in collaboration with the University of Illinois Institute of Government & Public Affairs, and the Southern Ilinois University Paul Simon Public Policy Institute.

John said the overriding issue for the debate is likely to be the state’s budget situation. “I’m sure many of the ques-tions will deal with the state’s fiscal crisis, how it can be resolved and whether tax increases are necessary,” he said.

Jay Pearce, director of created content for Illinois Public Media, said that given the state’s budget difficulties, it’s impor-tant that straightforward information be made available to voters about the candi-dates.

“We believe the more information voters have about the candidates, the more in-formed choices they’ll make,” he said.

A superstar gone too soonBefore Otis Redding, before Motown, before Aretha Franklin became the Queen of Soul, Sam Cooke put the spirit of gospel into popular music, creating a new American sound. Sam Cooke: Crossing Over, American Masters (8 pm Monday, Jan. 11) takes an in-depth look at his life, along with the hits—“You Send Me,” “Change Is Gonna Come,” “Twistin’ the Night Away”—that earned him induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, some 22 years after his death under mysterious circumstances.

Kaplan Penthouse, in Live from Lincoln Center: Joshua Bell With Friends @ The Penthouse. The program airs at 9 pm Friday, Jan. 22.

Now scientists are making great breakthroughs in better understanding the bird’s biology, and Nature has captured beautiful high-definition, high-speed footage of hummingbirds in the wild, combined with high-tech presentations of their remarkable abilities. Don’t miss Hummingbirds: Magic in the Air at 7 pm Sunday, Jan. 10.

Spike Lee’s semi-autobio-graphical storyThis is the exuberant, frequently hilarious and ultimately moving story of a young African-American man on a journey of escape, exploration and self-discovery. Recorded for television by Spike Lee, Great Performances: Passing Strange is the semi-autobiographical story of a young man who leaves behind his middle-class, church-ruled upbringing in mid-70s Los Angeles to travel to Europe in search of his artistic and personal identity. The program, co-starring Stew Rodewald, Daniel Breaker, de’Adre Aziza, Eisa Davis, Colman Domingo, Chad Goodridge and Rebecca Naomi Jones, airs at 8 pm Wednesday, Jan. 13.

Taking an up-close look at hip-hopBlacking Up: Hip-Hop’s Remix of Race and Identity focuses on the tensions that surround white identification with hip-hop to construct a dialogue on race that draws parallels from American history. The program at 9 pm Friday, Jan. 15, includes the best-known rappers, as well as an assortment of young fans and hip-hop hopefuls. It contains some material not suitable for younger audiences, so viewer discretion is advised.

Then at 9 pm Tuesday, Jan. 19, Independent Lens Copyright Criminals explores the phenomenon of consumers producing their own media, perfected by hip-hop musicians through a sport called “sampling.” Among the program’s topics are the creative and commercial value of musical sampling, including the ongoing debates about artistic expression, copyright law and money.

At 9 pm Tuesday, Jan. 26, the film Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes takes an in-depth view at machismo in rap music and hip-hop culture—where creative genius and poetic beauty collide with misogyny, violence and homophobia. Some material isn’t suitable for younger audiences.

First newsmaker: Hillary ClintonIn the first of four primetime specials that profile newsmakers and explore topical issues in depth, celebrated interviewer Tavis Smiley travels with and talks with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about her first year as America’s chief diplomat. The Tavis Smiley Report: Hillary Clinton, which includes exclusive access to a State Department diplomatic mission to the Middle East, is at 7 pm Wednesday, Jan. 27.

Storybook CDs for Book Mentor Project families

news

Bruce Weber is a for-mer 5th grade teacher who loved reading rhyming stories to his three daughters when they were little. So he jumped right into the role of huffing and snuffing and sneez-ing in great storybook fashion as he read “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.”

Weber (right), now University of Illinois head men’s basketball coach, was one of six U of I readers who presented children’s stories for an audio CD, produced for fami-lies in Illinois Public Media’s Book Mentor Project.

CDs with six different children’s books were provided free to each of the 578 families in the project, who now have

another way to introduce their children to books. “We want kids to hear stories repeatedly, especially at home. In case parents or other caregivers at home have difficulty reading or don’t have time, these CDs help fill in the gap,” said Molly Delaney, educational outreach director at Illinois Public Media.

Other readers were Lisa Gay Dixon, Anne Haas Dyson, Susan and Richard Herman, and David Chih. A gift from the Saemann

Foundation funded the CD project. The Book Mentor Project provides 3,500 books each year to families in the project. Forty-two pre-school classrooms at eight school sites participate.

H1N1 flu updatesWILL-TV, WILL-AM and WILL-FM are airing H1N1 flu updates presented by Julie Pryde from the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District. The one-minute spots, produced at WILL, provide up-to-date in-formation, including availability of vaccine and prevalence of flu in the community.

In addition, the updates are posted to the Web at willconnect.org/health and to the WILL radio TV online Facebook page. Updates are created as frequently as flu circumstances in the community warrant them.

On WILL-TV, updates will air at 5:58 pm Monday-Friday and Sunday, and 8:58 pm Monday-Friday most weeknights.

On WILL-AM, updates will air daily in the noon hour and 5 pm hour. On WILL-FM, updates will air daily in the 8 am hour and 8 pm hour.

Pryde, public health administrator for the health district, said it’s important to have many ways for people to get timely and accurate information about H1N1. “The pandemic is not over. In our community, we have gone through one wave. We expect several more waves. We see the spots as a way to help eliminate confusion and anxi-ety,” she said.

“We get hundreds of phone calls a day and questions on our Facebook page, so I know what kind of information people are look-ing for,” Pryde said.

Kimberlie Kranich, community engage-ment director for the WILL stations, part of Illinois Public Media, said the Cham-paign-Urbana community has made a great coordinated community effort to deal with H1N1. “WILL wants to be another source to get the information out. We know there’s a lot of misinformation out there, too, and the WILL stations can be a cred-ible source of information,” she said.

WILL wins PBS Development AwardThanks to you and your support, WILL has been recognized by PBS with the highest honor for station fundraising activities dur-ing the 2009 fiscal year.

WILL, part of Illinois Public Media, was awarded the PBS Award for Excellence in Overall Development. WILL was initially awarded the Overall Development Award for markets under 500,000 television households and then was selected as the overall winner from submissions from all market sizes.

PBS president Paula Kerger, in a letter to Illinois Public Media general manager Mark Leonard, said the station was chosen for its innovative work during the past year. “I commend your development team’s pas-sion and commitment,” she said.

Because of your generosity, WILL had its most successful year ever in total annual giving, despite one of the most severe eco-nomic downturns in memory.

“This recognition by our public broad-casting peers is really recognition of the strong support the WILL stations have in the community,” said George Hauenstein, Illinois Public Media development director. “That support has allowed us to maintain

New generator for WILL-TV and WILL-FMFor Anna Merritt, listening to intelligent radio and watching intelligent television are just like breathing. “It wouldn’t occur to me not to do it,” she said.

Anna knew that WILL-TV and -FM were sometimes knocked off the air when power lines went down because of high winds or ice. So she was happy to make a gift in support of a new generator for WILL’s Monticello transmitter site. “Helping to ensure that WILL’s programming is always available, even in bad weather, was some-thing I wanted to support,” said Anna, who is retired from the University of Illinois.

Anna’s gift, along with a generous gift from Rob and Dot Beldon of Champaign, enabled Illinois Public Media to match a federal grant for a new generator. Con-struction will begin soon so the $140,000 project can be finished by the March 21, 2010, deadline.

“With central Illinois’ volatile weather, a source of backup power for our FM and television transmitters has been a long-time goal for WILL,” said Illinois Public Media general manager Mark Leonard. “With this standby generator in place, WILL-FM and television will be able to continue pro-viding essential programming and services during our area’s times of greatest need.”

The old generator is aging and undersized, capable of powering only the tower lights, heating and cooling. In November 2006, an ice storm knocked WILL- FM and -TV off the air for three full days. A new 250-kilowatt diesel generator will allow for up to three days of uninterrupted broadcast

of all Emergency Alert System messages, comprehensive weather and news from WILL’s studios.

Rob was chief engineer at WILL for 32 years. He and his wife have also helped purchase equipment for Campbell Hall’s Meteorology Center and the Engineering Center, and made a lead gift in support of WILL’s digital radio fund.



Fundraising updateJan. 1 marks the mid-point in the fund-raising year for the Illinois Public Media Stations. Very soon, WILL Radio and TV will begin building budgets for the fiscal year that starts July 1. This month we will conduct a radio mini-drive Jan. 21-23, as we work toward meeting the fundraising goal we set in July 2009.

Like many organizations counting on state support, Illinois Public Media has taken some serious budget cuts. In response, we have done what you would do: trimmed the current budget, planned carefully for needed purchases, and scrutinized every new project for its value to the community.

When we say we depend on the community and respond to the community, those are not just words. Support from the Friends of WILL is vital. Our ultimate goal is to re-turn a quality product for your investment.

most services, even in a poor economy.” Despite having a successful year in fundrais-ing, the station has experienced reductions in state funding of about $300,000 over the past three years, making for a challenging budget situation, he said.

Among the steps in WILL’s fundraising success was taking a more outward, or com-munity-focused approach, George said. “We began to build new networks and relation-ships with people and other organizations, get them involved in setting our agenda, and integrate the community engagement principles into our work, station-wide.” That approach is beginning to pay off, he said.

Awards will be presented at the 2010 PBS Annual Meeting, to be held in Austin, Texas, in May.

Corporate supporter profile: Flooring Surfaces helps turn houses into homesOne of Jadon Peck’s favorite childhood memories is gathering on Sunday after-noons to watch This Old House on WILL TV. Now that he’s retail manager of Floor-ing Surfaces in Champaign, he has an insider’s view of home renovation, and is still a big fan of public broadcasting.

So he’s pleased that Flooring Surfaces got involved as a corporate supporter in 2007 with The War, Ken Burns’ acclaimed series about World War II. Since then, the 12-year old flooring company, which added a retail division about six years ago, has continued its vital support of a variety of programs on both radio and TV.

“Part of our overall philosophy is to support the community by supporting other local companies,” Jadon said. “Underwriting of WILL is an extension of that philosophy,” he added.

After spending the last five years helping people choose the types of materials that transform a home to their personal tastes, Jadon knows a lot about the elements of community-building.

And he knows he likes his work, which is made fresh with each project. “There are always new innovations and new products, plus working with customers’ ideas as well as architectural styles and periods provides a challenging creative outlet. Every project is a chance for expression.”

In addition to his long-time interest in Norm Abrams and the rest of the This Old House crew (inspired by his father’s devo-tion to the program), Jadon also enjoys Car Talk and A Prairie Home Companion. Another family connection to public broad-casting is through music.

“My mother is an organist and piano teach-er, so there was always classical music in our house,” he said. “The variety of great music programs, along with thorough weather information and in-depth public affairs con-tent, are still the things that I think WILL does better than any other station.

The reasons businesses choose to support the WILL stations are as varied as the types of companies, yet most every corporate supporter believes that public broadcasting plays a central role in the communities of central Illinois.

Flooring Surfaces is one such supporter and this month we introduce you to the business and our contact there, retail man-ager Jadon Peck, below. If you visit their showroom at 401 Mercury Drive in Cham-paign, please take a moment to thank Jadon and the Flooring Services staff for their underwriting of WILL programs.

And if your business would like to join the hundreds of Business Partners and Program Underwriters who, along with thousands of individuals and families, help make WILL radio-TV-online a great community resource, please contact Les Schulte, corporate support director, at 217-333-7300. Thank you!
