You’ll be seeing and hearing a lot over the next 12 months about what this means and how it affects you. This is a government mandate for all television stations, not just public television. But as a member of WXXI, I want you to know that we’ll do everything we can to assure that you still receive the programs you enjoy – and support! First, a reminder – if you subscribe to cable or satellite television, you probably won’t notice any change at all. The end of analog broadcasting will have the most impact on those who receive television over-the-air, that is, with an antenna. A year from now, you will have a decision to make. You can purchase a new digital television, which will bring in even more channels than you receive today (WXXI already broadcasts four digital channels, including one in High Definition). You can subscribe to cable or satellite. Or you can continue to use your current set with a converter box. This small box, which will soon be available for sale, will allow your current television set to receive the digital channels. For those who want to continue to receive free, over-the-air television (without buying a new receiver), the government is making coupons available to help purchase converter boxes. Every household is eligible for two coupons, each worth $40, to help pay for these boxes (you can’t put the coupons together, but you can purchase up to two boxes at a discount). Some companies have already announced that they will sell the converter boxes for around $40, so the coupon program may cover the entire cost of two converter boxes. You can read more about the coupon program, and how to apply on page 26 of this magazine. As many of our viewers already know, you don’t have to wait until next year to enjoy additional television channels from WXXI. We recently expanded Station Signals to include more information about WXXI-HD (cable 1011 or DT 21.1), WXXI-World (cable 524 or DT 21.2) and WXXI Create/ThinkBright (cable 433 or DT 21.3). Recently, we were pleased to add the new High Definition version of the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer to WXXI-HD. And these channels are in addition to the programs you already enjoy on our main channel (cable 11 or overthe-air channel 21). All these choices may sound confusing, but we’ll do our best to provide you the information and assistance you need to make the right choice. In the meantime, we have a great line-up of television and radio programs to celebrate “Black History Month.” African American Lives 2, a sequel to the acclaimed African American Lives (2006), will air on two consecutive Wednesdays, February 6 and 13 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11) and WXXI-HD (cable 1011/ DT21.1). We are also hosting our first “African American Educational Awareness Film Series,” every Saturday during February. (You can find details on all the programs and films in the cover story on pages 5-6 of this magazine.) Whether you wake up to Simon’s Sunshine Show in the morning, get your news from AM 1370 or the NewsHour, enjoy Open Tunings on WRUR-FM, or just like to relax with Antiques Roadshow or a British comedy, WXXI has something for everyone. Cleary, you’ve discovered it. And your membership in WXXI shows that you certainly value it. February 7th marks the beginning of our important winter radio membership campaign. I hope that you will share with a friend the importance of supporting public radio and invite them to join our family. Also, if it’s time to renew your membership I encourage you to do so. Thank you for your support. It’s your belief in all that we do here that has made WXXI an essential community resource!

Featured films are listed at right. continued on page 6> Fannie Lou Hamer 2/2 THE PACT This gritty, provocative film tells the true-life story of three friends from the ‘hood, who made a pact in high school to find a way to go to college and then medical school. They not only accomplished this, but they’re now spreading the word to inspire other innercity kids to stay off of drugs, out of gangs and to take the educational route to a better life. 2/9 AMERICAN BLACKOUT In this Sundance prize-winning indictment of the election process, guerilla journalist Ian Inaba follows the efforts of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney to expose the disturbing tactics that systematically disenfranchise black voters and silence dissent. 2/16 A PANTHER IN AFRICA Produced by Aaron Matthews, this film tells the story of Pete O’Neal, one of the last exiles from the time of Black Power, when young rebels advocated black pride, unity, community service and sometimes violence. This event is a collaboration with P.O.V., PBS‚ award-winning nonfiction series (pbs.org/pov). 2/23 FANNIE LOU HAMER: COURAGE & FAITH This film chronicles the extraordinary life of Fannie Lou Hamer. Also screening is Malcolm’s Echo: The Legacy of Malcolm X., which centers around the pilgrimage to Malcolm X’s burial site that has taken place every year on his birthday since his assassination in 1965. 6 IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD february 2008 Additional BLACK HISTORY MONTH programming on WXXI-TV/HD and AM1370/FM-HD91.5-2 MEMORIES OF THE MOVEMENT, airing Saturday, February 2 at 3 p.m. on AM1370/FM-HD91.5-2, celebrates the courage, conviction and commitment of the everyday people who made extraordinary contributions to American social progress. Tavis Smiley hosts. PRINCE AMONG SLAVES, airing Monday, February 4 at 10 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11) and WXXI-HD (cable 1011/DT21.1), tells the forgotten true story of an African prince who was enslaved in Mississippi for 40 years before finally achieving freedom and becoming one of the most famous men in America. Mos Def narrates. THE LITTLE ROCK NINE: FROM DESTINATION FREEDOM, airing Saturday, February 9 at 3 p.m. on AM1370/ FM-HD91.5-2, profiles the nine extraordinary black students who entered racially segregated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas on September 25, 1957. Their goal was to receive the same quality education afforded their white counterparts. Most Americans only knew of the social and political upheaval their efforts caused — not Ernest Green, Elizabeth Eckford, Jefferson Thomas, Dr. Terrence Roberts, Carlotta Walls LaNier, Minnijean Brown Trickey, Gloria Ray Karlmark, Thelma Mothershed-Wair and Melba Pattillo Beals. Host donnie l. betts examines why they succeeded where others did not. THE LAST LETTER HOME airing Saturday, February 16 at 3 p.m. on AM1370/FM-HD91.5-2, is a poignant retelling in radio drama and interview of the experience during World War II of the all African-American 332nd fighter group, also known as the Tuskegee Airmen. Producer and host donnie l. betts recreates this powerful tale through the fictionalized writing of a fighter pilot, who in a letter to his mother, describes how he hopes to drop “Mein Kampf” on Hitler’s office in Berlin as the U.S. bombs the city. INDEPENDENT LENS “BANISHED” airing Tuesday, February 19 at 10 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11), tells the story of three counties that violently expelled African American families from their towns a century ago—and the descendants that return to learn a shocking history. In SWINGTIME, airing Saturday, February 23 at 3 p.m. on AM1370/FM-HD91.5-2, narrator Tonea Stewart profiles three of the most famous Swing bands in 1930s and 40s. The program features the Bama State Collegians, the Prairie View Co-eds and the International Sweethearts of Rhythm. See photo on page 5. The Last Letter Home SPOTLIGHT ON A WXXI BUSINESS PARTNER Downtown Presbyterian Church “Our spiritual vitality has been called the best kept secret in Rochester.” —Rev. Pat Youngdahl, Co-Pastor, Downtown Presbyterian Church In 2015 Downtown Presbyterian Church will celebrate its 200th Birthday. Located at 121 N. Fitzhugh Street, Downtown Presbyterian Church is a welcoming congregation where children, youth, and adults from the Greater Rochester area find spiritual authenticity, soul-stirring music, and ways to make a difference in our world. Its spiritual life is passionate, progressive, and personal according to Rev. Pat Youngdahl and Rev. Gordon Webster, Co-Pastors, who strive to model equality and creative partnership between women and men. “Our spiritual vitality has been called the best kept secret in Rochester,” added Rev. Youngdahl. “We have long been known as a church that pursues peace and justice. Now, through our partnership with WXXI, we are creating additional awareness about our exciting music ministry, our outstanding Sunday School and Youth programs, our very popular and engaging Sunday Forum program for adults, our book groups, and most of all, our dedication to each other’s fullest spiritual authenticity. Each of us is on a journey, and every day we learn from each other. This is a very caring congregation, and we also know how to have fun!” When asked about the decision process of partnering with WXXI, Rev. Youngdahl explained, “We know that WXXI listeners and viewers are inquiring, thoughtful, community-oriented people, and we trust that some will want to experience a dynamic, diverse, vibrant congregation like ours.” For more information, visit www.downtownpresbyterianchurch.org PRINCE PHOTO: WANAKHAVI WAKHISI; LAST LETTER HOTO: GEORGIA STATE ARCHIVES/ITVS Prince Among Slaves IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD 7 Q&A PRINCE PHOTO: WANAKHAVI WAKHISI; LAST LETTER HOTO: GEORGIA STATE ARCHIVES/ITVS february 2008 Dinh La A special screening for those concerned about PRIVATIZATION The League of Women Voters, Rochester Metropolitan Area, and WXXI are pleased to host a screening of the POV film, Thirst, which examines community resistance to water privatization on Thursday, February 7, 2008 at 10 a.m. at WXXI’s studios. Is water part of a shared “commons,” a human right for all people? Or is it a commodity to be bought, sold, and traded in a global marketplace? Thirst tells the stories of communities in Bolivia, India, and the United States that are asking these fundamental questions. Please join us for this special screening followed by a discussion. The event is free, however seats are limited, so please reserve yours by calling 585-258-0200. pbs.org/pov MEMBERCARD PLUS BENEFIT OF THE MONTH Rochester Museum and Science Center 657 East Avenue Valid for 2-for-1 admission during the month of February 2008 585.271.4320 Call for details Check out RMSC’s two new permanent exhibits – Expedition Earth An Ever-Changing Planet where you can turn back the clock to explore ways that the earth and the life that it supports have changed over the last 500 million years in our region, and Expedition Earth You and Your Earth where you can investigate the vast array of living things that populate our region today, and discover the connections that we humans have to all the life forms around us. Education and Multimedia Producer Meet Dinh La, recently promoted from Editor and Operations Technician to Education and Multimedia producer. In his new position, he is in charge of producing Homework Hotline, WXXI’s statewide, live call-in show where master teachers help kids with homework problems right on the air. He also oversees content for the show’s Web site, provides multimedia and Interactive direction for WXXI’s Assignment: The World Web site and edits a variety of television projects including WXXI’s new TV series Taste of New York (which premieres this spring). Q. What’s the best part of producing Homework Hotline? A. Homework Hotline presents such a unique outlet for students in need of help with their homework. Being able to hear that “oh” or “now I get it” from behind the scenes is probably the best part of producing the show. To know that we helped a student understand how to work through their homework is immeasurable. I’m really excited about the future of the show, especially with the new technology we have brought onto the set. This technology provides us with tools, and limitless possibilities to better help students with their homework questions as we venture into this new age of Homework Hotline. Q. Homework Hotline launched a new Web site in 2007. Can you tell us a little about it? A. We are very excited about our newly launched Web site. Homeworkhotline.org is designed to be a destination for students, parents and teachers to get additional help with their homework, find resources or just have fun. The Web site receives thousands of visitors monthly and offers educational games, a video player with segments that have been broadcasted on the show or just helpful information. Students are encouraged to visit the Web site and leave homework questions or comments about the show via Yak Back. Q. We know Homework Hotline is your favorite kids’ show on WXXI-TV, what’s your second? A. I’m truly a fan of Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks. I love the stories that are told of Piggley Winks and his friends. The show is entertaining to watch, and the comic-relief of Wiley the Sheep is hilarious. I think the show is so well produced and animated, and really appeals to all ages. 8 IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD february 2008 Meet Liz Jackson-Renner GREAT PERFORMANCES: To say that Liz JacksonRenner’s interests are varied would indeed be an understatement!

This film is presented in open caption with ASL Interpretation. < february 2008 The Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Company comes to television for the first time when the Great Performances special premieres on Wednesday, February 20 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV and WXXI-HD. The broadcast holds extra excitement for WXXI viewers, as one of the actors in the production is a Rochester native. BRUCE SABATH >> a Brighton High School alumnus who worked summer jobs during college at Eastman Kodak’s disk camera factory line and Xerox as a computer programmer, plays the role of Larry who is a close friend with the central character Bobby. Bobby, a non-committing bachelor, inadvertently discovers that his friends are planning to throw a surprise party for his 35th birthday. As Bobby drinks alone in his apartment, he imagines the impending party and recalls his odd relationships and those of his friends. Ultimately, Bobby is forced to evaluate his lifestyle, and he realizes that it is time for a change. The legendary composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking musical — which premiered in 1970 with a book by George Furth — has acquired generations of new fans through various new productions including its third turn on the Broadway stage in 2006. Acclaimed director John Doyle, noted for his unconventional adaptation of Sweeney Todd in 2005 (the actors double as orchestra musicians), took a similar approach to Company (Bruce plays the clarinet and drums), which received rave reviews and a Tony Award for “Best Revival” in the 2006-07 season.

Volcanic eruptions killed and buried victims quickly in this dinosaur Pompeii, capturing soft, fragile features not normally preserved in fossils — notably the feathers on animals that had never been known to have them before. Now, with state-of-the-art animation to bring this lost world to life, NOVA investigates the mysterious feathered dinosaurs that are challenging old ideas about the origin of bird flight. PHOTO: MARK DAVIS NOVA: The Four Winged Dinosaur airs Tuesday, February 26 at 8 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11) and WXXI-HD (cable 1011/DT21.1) With five daughters, no sons and an entailed estate, the elder Bennets are in dire straits as they try to arrange advantageous marriages for their children. Wedding bells ring three times, but the path to true love is tortuous indeed. Colin Firth is Mr. Darcy and Jennifer Ehle is Elizabeth Bennet in the definitive adaptation of the most-loved of all Jane Austen’s novels.

During their time at Gross Breesen, the teenagers were secluded and protected from the growing anti-Semitism in the country. But their seclusion was shattered in November of 1938, the day after Kristallnacht, when an SS squadron came out to Gross Breesen, and took all the boys over the age of 18 to the Buchenwald concentration camp.

Sixty-six years later, Michael Caplan, the son of one of the Gross Breesen students, returned to find the farm.

Current broadcast television will change completely to a new format called digital television (DTV). If you receive TV signals through an antenna (for example, using “rabbit ears”) and you currently do not subscribe to cable or satellite, the TVs in your home will be affected. You will need to take action to continue receiving TV service. You have three options: Are you prepared for the digital television transition? 1 Purchase a converter box for each television in your home that receives TV signals through an antenna. 2 Purchase a new television set with a built-in digital tuner. 3 Subscribe to cable or satellite that carries the channels you want to watch. To help consumers who choose to purchase a converter box, the federal government has created a coupon program that will reduce the cost of a converter box. (Converter boxes are expected to cost around $70; each coupon is worth $40.) To learn more about the program, including how to request coupons, redemption instructions, and which retailers will redeem them: ■ Visit www.ntia.doc.gov/dtvcoupon/index.html or ■ Call 1-888-DTV-2009, toll-free, to request a coupon or to receive coupon program information in English and Spanish WXXI values your support.

Tickets are $18 for adults and $15 for children, but stay tuned to WXXI-FM for a chance to win free tickets! Puccini’s Manon Lescaut tells the story of an ill-fated heroine who is torn between love and riches. The four-act opera stars Karita Mattila (pictured) as the young woman who casts aside true love for a life of luxury. THE METROPOLITAN OPERA: Manon Lescaut airs Saturday, February 16 at 1 p.m. on Classical 91.5/HD 91.5-1 DID YOU KNOW? Before the premiere of Manon Lescaut in 1893, Puccini was a struggling composer who had disappointed all the expectations his first opera excited. While his friends were hailed as the saviors of Italian opera, Puccini toiled endlessly over a project that many observers considered doomed: Manon Lescaut. Yet despite its difficult gestation, Manon Lescaut would launch Puccini’s incredible career and set the stage for his later masterpieces. highlights SymphonyCast Tune in for this new weekly program featuring full-length concerts by major symphony orchestras, including the: Los Angeles Philharmonic TUNE IN FOR THE Erie Saxophone Quartet WXXI-FM’s Julia Figueras invites the Erie Saxophone Quartet into the Henry Epstein Studio for the next Backstage Pass.

Super Tuesday AM highlights 35 During the 1930s and 1940s, many black schools in the U.S. fielded traveling swing bands to keep their doors open during the Depression. Narrator Tonea Stewart profiles three of the era’s most famous bands in “Swingtime,” an hourlong showcase of the Bama State Collegians, the Prairie View Co-eds and the International Sweethearts of Rhythm. Stewart artfully weaves the era’s music around interviews with surviving band members, scholarly commentary and archival sound from now-deceased band members, including the great Erskine Hawkins. The traveling ensembles influenced mainstream music on a grand scale. Harlem’s top jazz orchestras pulled talent from these bands, whose members made enduring contributions to American culture. Hawkins’ “Tuxedo Junction,” for example, became the anthem for American GIs in World War II. Swingtime airs Saturday, February 23 at 3:00 p.m. on AM 1370/FM-HD 91.5-2 am highlights Mostly Jazz with Tom Hampson With 90% music complemented by 10% commentary and humor, Tom Hampson’s Mostly Jazz radio show is a tune-in must on the weekend. With a wealth of recordings to draw from, the program gives listeners the opportunity to hear selections rarely played on commercial radio stations. Hampson shares his vast collection of CDs to broadcast a fabulous live program of music, stories and anecdotes. Mostly Jazz with Tom Hampson airs Saturdays and Sundays at 7 p.m. on AM 1370/FM-HD 91.5-2 Approximately 20 states will hold primaries on February 5. With competitive races in both parties and a chance that we could have at least one presumptive nominee at the end of the night, NPR will cover this important primary day.
