2014 ANNUAL REPORT
SEVEN ways WITF is working for YOU
WITF is
connected
to you
every day,
in every way.
WAYS
WITF is working for YOU
WITF television was founded in Hershey 50 years ago by
a group of educators who inspired our mission to support
lifelong learning—from early childhood through elder
maturity. And from their inspiring idea, WITF has grown
from a small public television station to the public media
resource you listen to, watch and follow every day. Your desire
to learn, discover, and live inspired is what drives us.
There are a number of ways
that WITF flourished in FY14.
In this annual report, we’ve
narrowed the list to share the
Seven Ways WITF is Working for
You and our community.

bringing value to you not only as
a news and information resource, but also as a convener for
great ideas that connect us to one another. So many of you
start your day with us, invite us into your home and car, and
share information you’ve heard and learned with people close
to you. You have become a part of our family, and in turn, we
have become a part of yours.
Of course, the most distinguishing feature of WITF is
YOU. You are counted among our biggest fans: from WITF
employees, to volunteers like our board members, and many
others. You invest in WITF because you know that WITF has
been improving our lives and giving freely to our community
for the past 50 years.
It is only through your support that WITF is able to
improve lives in our community. Thank you for making the
choice to make a difference in the lives of all of us. Together
we are creating a better, more educated, and more INSPIRED
central Pennsylvania. ■

SEVEN ways WITF is working for YOU
The philosophy of the WITF News Department is to help
listeners, viewers, and readers better understand the complex
issues facing central Pennsylvania and how policy decisions
affect their lives. By providing credible, accurate and honest
reporting, WITF reporters work to bring a uniquely human
voice to each and every story. In a continuously changing media
environment, WITF has strengthened its reporting on several
underreported issues: StateImpact Pennsylvania looks at
the Commonwealth’s energy economy; Transforming Health
reports on the changing face of the health care industry; and
Keystone Crossroads is delving into the key issues facing
Pennsylvania cities and communities.
Marie Cusick moderates a panel discussion during
StateImpact Pennsylvania’s Community Forum at
WITF Public Media Center
HealthSmart, a WITF original television production,
tackled health issues that matter to Pennsylvania residents.
During FY14, the show focused on chronic disease, informal
caregiving, pharmaceutical drugs and much more.
HealthSmart provides valuable information to viewers
while also connecting them with each other and with helpful
resources in the community. The Emmy award-winning
show is currently in its ninth season.
HealthSmart also reached viewers and listeners through
HealthSmart in a Minute and Be HealthSmart. During
FY14, these shorter shows offered easily digestible tips
on everything from caregiver stress to prescription
painkiller storage.
It’s about your health.

Transforming Health helps Pennsylvanians understand
the changing tide of health care. From reactive to preventative
medicine, to navigating the twists and turns of the complex
Affordable Care Act, the project provides important
information and dispels myths during a time of significant
change. Access to affordable, quality healthcare is just one of the
many issues that hits close to home for all of us in Central PA.
Our mission is to take a closer look at key issues and the new
health policies that are transforming the places that we live and
the way that we live. It’s an exciting time and Transforming
Health serves as a valuable community resource informing
healthcare consumers every step of the way.

The complexity and multiple facets of the Affordable Care Act
inspired Transforming Health to launch the online tool

designed to help simplify the process by allowing users to assess

Education
SEVEN ways WITF is working for YOU
WITF Education Services helps early educators network and manage resources through
educational workshops. Additionally, families engage and learn together through programming
and family events, and children have fun while learning with their favorite PBS characters.
IN FY14, WITF TV AND PBS KIDS
debuted PEG + CAT, an animated math-based series for
children 3-5 years old. PEG + CAT inspires preschool
children to see math as exciting, accessible, and fun and
includes the daily TV show, a mobile app, a robust digital
experience at pbskids.org/peg and related offline activities
that families can enjoy together. Fans of PEG + CAT were

In FY14, WITF organized I’m Here With You: A Forum
WITF introduced PEG + CAT at the annual Ready, Set, Go…
Kindergarten! event
on Children & Grief. The forum was designed to equip
teachers, families and caregivers with the tools to support
children and attempt to understand their grief process.
The goal was to help adults feel more confident
in talking with children about these complicated and
often confusing feelings. With a keynote address by
Marcie Taylor, vice president of Drew’s Hope, and a
panel discussion featuring local experts, participants
learned together and asked thoughtful questions.
A resource-rich tool kit was available to participants.

THURSDAY, NOV. 7 6–8 PM
WITF engages the community in
a variety of ways including (from

artist receptions and even meeting
fan favorites Garrison Keillor and
Celtic Thunder
Bringing audience together to meet one another and
enthusiastically contribute to the ideas and conversations
sparked by WITF public media programs and initiatives is an
important piece of community engagement work. WITF led and
participated in community and cultural events throughout the
region and also encouraged more of the public to use the Public
Media Center for PBS program screening events, artist receptions,
discussion forums and more. In FY14 just over 2,000 visitors
toured the WITF Public Media Center, a 44% increase over last
year. In addition, more than 1,800 people attended community
events like receptions and forums held at the Public Media Center.
WITF is committed to collaborating with other institutions,
professionals and individuals to increase community engagement opportunities throughout our region. Throughout FY14,
WITF had the benefit of exploring partnerships with a wide
range of community institutions including Harrisburg Regional
Chamber of Commerce, Central Penn Parent, Dauphin County
Parks and Recreation, Chisuk Emuna, corporate partners
and many others.

WRITING CONTEST
WITF has always recognized the vital role of arts
and culture in our lives and given them a central
place in programming and coverage. Whether it is
illuminating history with a TV show like Downton Abbey,
or encouraging budding talent to find recognition in our
writing contest, or raising awareness of regional artists and
arts organizations through special coverage, WITF promotes
the qualities of culture that enrich our minds and give added
meaning to our lives.
WITF TV takes viewers to performances that aren’t
available anywhere else in Central Pennsylvania in person
or on television. The ongoing series Great Performances
provided viewers with memorable performances and
breathtaking video during the 75th Anniversary of
Tanglewood, Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night
Concert, and monthly presentations of opera from The Met.
Sunday evening’s Masterpiece presents some of the best
drama and mystery on TV with critically acclaimed series
like Downton Abbey, Sherlock, and Mr. Selfridge.
ART AND NEWS, OVER BREWS
In FY14, art and news came together over brews
