DE MEET OUR NEW SUPERSTAR! >> TA I LS OF ALL GE THE N EW HITS ON PA FIV E 2 STATION SIGNALS june 2008 june2008 STATION SIGNALS Dear Friend, I’ve just returned from the PBS Showcase, an annual meeting that highlights new public television programs and services. I’m pleased to report that our WXXI KIDS schedule, already among the best, most viewed children’s programming in Rochester, is about to get even stronger! Production is underway on a revival of a show that your kids (or perhaps you) grew up with – The Electric Company. This “70’s Classic” is being redone to meet the expectations of today’s younger viewers with music and cutting-edge dance routines. It will also have a focus on Literacy, a topic we’re hearing a lot about in our community. Expect to see episodes of The Electric Company on WXXI-TV early next year. Literacy will also be a theme of another new children’s series, Martha Speaks, featuring, what else? A talking dog! Modeled after a successful children’s book series, Martha will help spark an interest in reading in our most impressionable viewers. And we’re not skipping science and math, either, as we prepare to welcome Sid the Science Kid to WXXI this fall. Sid is aimed at promoting discovery and science among preschoolers. Add to this our popular on-going series like Sesame Street, Curious George and WXXI’s own Biz Kid$ (a financial literacy series now airing on more than 300 PBS stations throughout the nation), and you can see why PBS remains the most trusted choice in children’s television. I can also share that public television will be working to fight the problem of childhood obesity, an issue that WXXI has been taking the lead on in our community. In addition to a preview of new programs, we met the new host of Masterpiece/Mystery, Scottish actor Alan Cumming. You may recognize him from his roles from Chekhov and Euripides, as well as appearances in X-Men and James Bond movies (he also won a Tony as the emcee in Cabaret.) Alan will be introducing a season that includes the conclusions of Foyle’s War, and the Inspector Lynley series and a spin-off of Inspector Morse. Finally, many of you watched our new season of the Rochester International Jazz Festival last month, leading up to the Jazz Festival itself this month. If you go to the Festival, you will see WXXI as we will be recording more concerts at Kilbourn Hall, as well as footage in and around the Festival site itself. Also, please join us at the Eastman Theatre on Sunday, June 15, as WXXI will be presenting screenings of our nostalgic At the Top series from the 1970s. It features the Rochester appearance of such great jazz performers as the Modern Jazz Quartet and Stéphane Grappelli, Woody Herman, Count Basie and Oscar Peterson. The free Jazz Festival Film Series begins at 4:00 p.m. and we look forward to seeing you there! By the way, if you became a member of WXXI during our May radio membership campaign let me welcome you. If you renewed your membership during the drive, thank you! I’m pleased to report that, with your help, we made our goal. That means WXXI can continue to bring quality programs from NPR and services so many rely on (such as the recent outstanding, on-the-scene coverage of the earthquake in China). It again proved the value of NPR, a service that has expanded its foreign bureaus and international coverage, while other networks have been cutting back. WXXI’s 40th Anniversary Auction wrapped up in May and was another success. I hope you had a chance to bid and bring home a bargain while helping to support your local, independent public television and radio stations! And, for those of you who attended the André Rieu event, it was nice to see you there. We were thrilled to bring André to Rochester, and just as thrilled to hear so many people express what a great time they had.

SPOTLIGHT ON A WXXI BUSINESS PARTNER Rochester City School District “With literacy-based programs like Sesame Street, Curious George, Clifford, and WordGirl, WXXI provides the perfect setting for our message to parents and families who want the best for their children academically and socially.” —Jean-Claude Brizard, Superintendent of Schools, Rochester City School District Established in 1841, the Rochester City School District serves 33,000 students in pre-K through grade 12 and 10,000 adult students. Jean-Claude Brizard, Superintendent of Schools, described one of the challenges facing the Rochester City School District: “Our pre-K program is rated the best in the nation by independent evaluators. It’s offered free. We also want more parents to take advantage of this tremendous opportunity to start their children off on the right foot when it comes to learning, growth, and development. We know that children enrolled in pre-K and kindergarten enter the elementary grades better prepared for success in school. Our primary need is to reach parents of young children of the age to enter pre-kindergarten and kindergarten, and to encourage them to register those children for school in the Rochester City School District.” When asked about partnering with WXXI, Superintendent Brizard explained, “As we researched local media opportunities for connecting with our target audience of parents of young children in the City of Rochester, we determined that partnering with WXXI allowed us to directly reach our audience through the top-notch children’s programming the station broadcasts. Our message dovetails perfectly with WXXI’s educational children’s programming. Like us, WXXI is concerned with children’s learning in the crucial early years; learning that actually makes a difference in the likelihood of a child staying in school and graduating. Rochester views WXXI as the station offering engaging programs that develop a love of learning in children that carries into adulthood. WXXI provides the Rochester City School District with the perfect venue for the messages we want to share with parents about the valuable educational opportunities we offer their children.” www.rcsdk12.org Kids Who Write Are Bright “If I could change one thing...” WXXI hosted its annual Kids Who Write Are Bright essay contest for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. This year’s essays answered, “If I could change one thing…” Members of WXXI’s Education Advisory Board judged the entries and prizes were awarded in five grade levels: K-1 and 2-3 (entries accepted in written or illustration form), 4-5, 6-8 and 9-12 (entries limited to 500 words). “I would teach people to get to know someone before they judge them.” “I would give kids and teenagers the right to vote.” “I would make my Grandpa stop smoking.” “I would reverse global warming.” And, the winners are: Kindergarten-1st grade 1st place | Chase, Victor, NY 2-3rd Grade 1st place | Gretchen, Honeoye Falls, NY 2nd place | Jordan, Victor, NY 3rd place | Elanor, Victor, NY Honorable Mention | Ben, Spencerport, NY 4-5th Grade 1st place | Lauren, Spencerport, NY 2nd place | Danielle, Victor, NY 3rd place | Lauren, Rochester, NY Honorable Mention | Vincent, Rochester, NY 6-8th Grade 1st place | Cory, Victor, NY 2nd place | Christine, Rochester, NY 3rd place | Hanna, Victor, NY Honorable Mention | Micayla, Victor, NY th 9-12 Grade 1st place | YanCarlos, Rochester, NY 2nd place | Shaakira, Rochester, NY 3rd place | Tiana, Rochester, NY Honorable Mention | Julie, Rochester, NY MEMBERCARD PLUS BENEFIT OF THE MONTH Corning Museum of Glass One Museum Way Corning, NY (800) 732-6845 Valid for 2-for-1 admission During the month of June 2008 The Corning Museum of Glass is home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of art and history in glass, with more than 45,000 objects spanning 3,500 years of human creation. Technological exhibits tell the story of historic advancements and contemporary innovations in glass technology. IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD Q&A june 2008 7 Julie Addair Levy Education Training Coordinator Julie Addair Levy is the station’s PBS Ready to Learn trainer and community liaison. She is the education consultant for Homework Hotline and the curriculum coordinator for online education support services. Julie also writes an education blog for teachers and parents that can be found at http://interactive.wxxi.org/. Q. How do WXXI-TV’s children’s programs help to prepare young children for school? A. WXXI-TV’s programming for children is research based and contains multiple elements that expose children to essential early literacy and reasoning skills. Letter and number awareness, critical thinking and social interaction are just a few of the vital skills that could be developed by watching these shows and that help prepare children for school. Q. What kind of educational training and outreach do you offer? A. WXXI’s Ready-to-Learn program offers workshops to parents, childcare providers, and preK-3 teachers to increase emergent literacy skills through appropriate use of television as an educational tool combined with books and activities. Teacher professional development offered includes workshop series and online training for teachers through PBS Teacherline. Q. What’s your favorite PBS Kids show and why? A. I enjoy too many to pick just one favorite, but a few that I like the most are Sesame Street, Super Why!, WordGirl and Curious George. Not only are these shows entertaining and educational for kids, they are just as much fun for adults to watch and learn from as well. 8 IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD june 2008 WXXI Remembers Pat Andrus with its Volunteer of the Year WXXI posthumously named Pat Andrus its Volunteer of the Year during the station’s Annual Volunteer Recognition Dinner in April. Mrs. Andrus was a long-time WXXI volunteer who passed away in August 2007 after fighting a courageous battle against cancer. The Charles M. Wise Volunteer of the Year award, dedicated to the late Charles (Chuck) Wise – a loyal WXXI volunteer for many years, stands as a testament to Wise’s unwavering spirit of volunteerism. Mrs. Andrus served on the Speaking of Women’s Health Steering Committee where she played an active role in helping to generate awareness and increase attendance for this national women’s health conference that WXXI brought to Rochester in 2003. Her efforts resulted in a sold-out crowd at the conference for the past two years. Mrs. Andrus was also very active in the WXXI Auction, and encouraged her husband and children to volunteer at the station as well. Pat’s husband Ed Andrus accepted the award on her behalf. In addition to the award, WXXI adopted a tree at Highland Park in her honor. Gifts of Stock Did you know that you can make a membership gift to WXXI with appreciated stock?

FUNDIN, WXXI Pat Andrus june 2008 TV HIGHLIGHTS 9 ANYONE AND EVERYONE tells the stories of families from Utah to North Carolina and Wyoming to New York, all connected by a common thread — a gay child. Produced by first-time filmmaker Susan Polis Schutz (also the parent of a gay son), it reveals a family’s struggle and desire to accept a child’s homosexuality. The film features parents from a wide range of religions, nationalities and political leanings, all of whom discuss their initial reactions to their child’s coming-out. While some showed unconditional support, others struggled with their child’s sexual orientation, either fearing alienation from their extended family, their church or their community. Some simply did not understand the universal nature of homosexuality, and that it can affect anyone and everyone. Whether Japanese, Cherokee, Mormon, Catholic or Hindu, these families all share a deep love for their children, along with a struggle for acceptance, both in their own home and within society as a whole. ANYONE AND EVERYONE TV Tonya Locas (above), the Christian mother who sent her son into psychotherapy after learning he was gay. She has since accepted his homosexuality.

THE CLEVELAND INTERNATIONAL Piano Competition RUSSIAN PIANIST ALEXANDER GHINDIN (pictured) won first prize at the 2007 Cleveland International Piano Competition. From the opening rounds the 30-yearold Ghindin was the clear favorite, as Donald Rosenberg stated in his coverage for The Plain Dealer, “A full week before he won first prize in the 2007 Cleveland International Piano Competition… Russia’s Alexander Ghindin leapt to the front of the piano pack.” He clinched his victory with a performance of Rachmaninoff No. 3 with the Cleveland Orchestra under the direction of Jahja Ling. This Competition is held biennially over a ten-day period that begins with the candidates performing solo recitals for the audience as well as an esteemed international panel of judges. Candidates are eliminated by vote of the jury until four finalists remain. These talented individuals perform concertos with The Cleveland Orchestra to determine the winner. The final rounds are held over a two-night period at Severance Hall. The winner is announced following the final performance. Tune in for breathtaking performances during an exhilarating marathon of music – every Sunday night in June!

The new system looks and sounds great, but changing over does raise a few questions. What exactly is DTV? DTV can refer to either: the system for sending higher quality, digital television signals over the air; the higher quality, digital television signals themselves; or the TV set that displays digital television signals. Is DTV the same thing as HDTV? No. HDTV, or high definition television, is the highest quality form of digital television. Not all DTV is high definition. What are my options? If your TV receives its signal over the air with an antenna and does not have a digital tuner, you have three options to continue receiving TV after February 17, 2009: 1 DTV Basics: What You Need to Know About the Transition to DTV 2 3 Purchase a TV converter box. A TV converter box will cost $40.00 - $70.00. The Government is offering coupons to reduce the cost of the boxes. To request coupons or learn more about the coupon program, call 1.888.DTV.2009 or visit www.dtv2009.gov; Connect your TV to cable, satellite or another pay service; or Replace your TV with a new digital tuner equipped TV. A wide range of DTVs are available starting at $100.00. What about digital cable, FiOS, IPTV and all that? These TV sources depend on digital information and should not be affected by the current transition to DTV, which affects over the air broadcast television. Is anything else about DTV different? You’ll enjoy a higher quality picture and CD quality sound. You’ll also be able to view program information from your TV. Depending on the channel and show, your DTV tuner or converter box might display information describing the show and the TV schedule. You also may have read about “multicasting.” That’s a technology that allows a station to send multiple channels at the same time. In addition to WXXI-TV (cable 11/ DT21.4), WXXI multicasts three additional digital channels: WXXI-HD (cable 1011/DT21.1), WXXI-World (cable 524/DT21.2), and Create/ThinkBright (cable 433/DT21.3). june2008 88.5 WRUR 35 Monday-Friday Midnight DJ Speciality Shows 2:00 am The Difference 3:00 am World Café 5:00 am Morning Edition 9:00 am Open Tunings with Scott Regan Noon DJ Specialty Shows 2:00 pm World Café 4:00 pm All Things Considered 6:00 pm Sounds Eclectic (Monday) Mountain Stage (Tuesday) Mystery Train (Wednesday) ROCHESTER INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL (Thursday, 6/5) >> OnStage (Thursdays, not on 6/5) Rejuvination (Friday) 7:00 pm Radio Rock (Thursday) 8:00 pm DJ Specialty Shows (Monday-Thursday) 9:00 pm Blacks and Blues (Fridays) Don Byron Saturday Midnight The Difference 8:00 am A Variety of Folk 10:00 am Best of Open Tunings Noon La Dolce Vita 2:00 pm Thistle & Shamrock 3:00 pm ROCHESTER INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL (6/7) >> OnStage (not on 6/7) 4:00 pm Radio Rock 6:00 pm DJ Specialty Shows 9:00 pm The Grateful Dead Hour 10:00 pm Mystery Train Sunday Midnight The Difference 8:00 am The World of Gospel 10:00 am Irish Party House Noon The Jewish Sound 2:00 pm Mountain Stage 4:00 pm A Prairie Home Companion 6:00 pm Jazz with Ruth Elaine 8:00 pm What’s New 9:00 pm Marian McPartland 10:00 pm Black Classics with Talik Don Byron’s Ivey Divey Tune in for the last of the Rochester International Jazz Festival series with Don Byron’s Ivey Divey, airing Thursday, June 5 at 6 p.m. and Saturday, June 7 at 3 p.m. Through unyielding creativity and his own extensive musical knowledge, Don Byron strives to create “a sound above genre.” Hear this amazing clarinetist, saxophonist, composer, arranger, and social critic—with piano wunderkind Jason Moran and drummer Jack DeJohnette—at their 2007 Rochester International Jazz Festival performance. 36 june2008 STATION SIGNALS WXXI HD RADIO SCHEDULE WXXI HD RADIO hosts three audio channels—91.5-1, which broadcasts our classical music programming heard on FM 91.5/90.3 with the highest definition of sound, and 91.5-2, which broadcasts news and information programming heard on AM 1370.

All told by people who find it, grow it, cook it, sell it, celebrate with it, and write about it, the program also features Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Dallas-born actress Robin Wright Penn. The hidden kitchen stories unfold against a soundtrack of soulful Texas music that conveys a deep sense of time and place. Hidden Kitchens Texas presents several wild and moving tales about the state, including cowboy kitchens, oil barrel barbeques, ice houses, oystermen on Galveston Bay, church suppers, a car wash kitchen in El Paso, the tamale lady at Fuel City in Dallas, a restaurant hidden down a driveway in Fort Worth, NASA’s space kitchens, and the first barbeque pit on the moon. Hidden Kitchens Texas airs Saturday, June 28 at 3 p.m. on AM1370/HD91.5-2 AM highlights AMERICA ABROAD: Holy Diplomacy THE VIDEO GAME VIOLENCE DEBATE Almost 3 out of 4 Americans consider it a worthy goal to do something to temper the violence in our media, yet violent movies, television and video games are extremely popular. Do violent games, like the recently updated Grand Theft Auto series, along with other violent entertainment, chip away at our sensitivities about violence and impact our notions about conflict resolution? There are authors and academics who defend the presence of violence in the games rated for adults, and question the strength of the research studies that suggest that exposure to violent entertainment correlates with aggression and desensitization toward violence. On the other side, there are those who decry the violence, believe the negative effects research to be true and call for tighter restrictions on violent game sales and content. Tune in to hear from both sides of the conversation. PEACE TALKS RADIO: THE VIDEO GAME VIOLENCE DEBATE airs Saturday, June 21 at 3 p.m on AM1370/HD91.5-2 The Catholic Church is one of the world’s longest-standing institutions, and throughout its history has played a unique role on the global stage. The Church figured prominently in the fall of communism and contributed to solving conflicts across the globe. Holy Diplomacy travels to the Vatican to examine the inner workings of the Holy See’s foreign policy machinery, and to Colombia, where the Catholic Church is attempting to build peace in a troubled country.
