Walker WKNO is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Dr. Walter L. Walker. As a former president of LeMoyne-Owen College and a distinguished member of the WKNO Board of Trustees, Dr. Walker has c o n t r i bu t e d m u c h t o t h e Memphis community and leaves behind a legacy of f u r thering education and awareness. Gallery 10: The WKNO Art and Antiques Auction spanned two weekends in November, raising more than $70,000 to help WKNO continue providing quality television to its viewers in Memphis and the surrounding areas. Up-and-coming artists, like Gadsby Creson, Dwayne Butcher, Elizabeth Owen, Siphne Sylve, and more, were highlighted during the Emerging Young Artists segment. Awards The Mid-South Regional Emmy Award nominations were announced and WKNO was honored to have received three nominations: Pierre Kimsey, in the category of Sports Programs, for Joe Scott: Memories of the Negro Leagues; Susan Grissom, in the category of Documentary/Historical, for Call of Duty: WWII in the Mid-South; and Russ Abernathy, Kip Cole, Angela Dejong-Angelici, and Pierre Kimsey, in the category of Public Affairs, for It Matters: Are We Prepared?

Sullivan As of January 1, 2009, there are now 48 days of analog broadcasting remaining. According to a recent article in Current (October 14, 2008), people who are not aware at all of the digital television transition dropped from 60% in 2006 to 2% in spring of 2008. That’s good news, but there are still a lot of misunderstandings about how one should be ready. At WKNO, we have been highly engaged in the digital television education process. We have fielded hundreds of calls from viewers and have found a few common beliefs from people who believe they are ready for digital, but may not be. 1. I have cable/satellite. I don’t need to do anything. Is EVERY television set in your home hooked to your cable/satellite service? If not, you may need to do more. Also, I have talked with some viewers who have satellite service, but watch their local channels over the air with an antenna. These viewers may not be fully ready for digital television. 2. I have a new digital (or HD) television set. Have you scanned in your digital channels (if you’re using an antenna)? If not, then you may be using your digital (or HD) television to watch analog broadcasting. 3. I’ve got my converter box now but I don’t need to hook it up until February 17. Digital broadcasting is on the air now. We advise viewers to hook up their converter boxes now as individual issues may interfere with a good digital signal, which may then mean you need to do something more to be able to watch digital broadcasting. For more information about your options for going digital, visit wkno.org. Or call (901) 458-2521. T H E M E M B E R S ’ M AGA Z I N E 3 D i s c o v e r N e w W o r l d s© Goe For the past several years the WKNO Travel Auction has been presented online and on-air.

Make ‘Em Laugh: The Funny Business of America, premiering Wednesday, January 14 at 7:00 p.m. on WKNO, is hosted by funnyman Billy Crystal and narrated by Amy Sedaris. This powerful new documentary explores the currents of American comedy throughout a century of social and political change, illuminating how comedy has tackled and poked fun at our political system, race relations, gender issues and the prevailing American standards and taboos in everyday life. Melding performance, biography and history, Make ‘Em Laugh features interviews with more than 90 comedians, writers, producers and historians, including Judd Apatow, Roseanne Barr, Anne Beatts, the Smothers Brothers, Carol Burnett, Sid Caesar, George Carlin, Larry David, Will Ferrell, Leonard Maltin, Cheech Marin, Steve Martin, Chris Rock, Mort Sahl, Dick Van Dyke and many, many more. Each one-hour episode focuses on a distinct genre of American comedy — from the most ingenious physical schtick to fast-talking wiseguys to incisive satire and parody — re-acquainting viewers with some of their favorite classics. Make ‘Em Laugh: The Funny Business of America will air Wednesdays, J a n u a r y 1 4 - 2 8 f r o m 7 : 0 0 – 9 : 0 0 p . m . , r e p e a t i n g a t m i d n i g h t o n WKNO/Channel 10. It will also air Thursdays, January 15-29 on WKNO2. Southern Routes Join host Bonnie Kourvelas this month on Southern Routes for a journey back to the golden age of radio, a conversation with author Jon Meacham, and more. Today synthesizers and computers make audio production and elaborate sound effects as easy as pushing a button. However, back when radio ruled the airwaves, when families kept their ears glued to their sets to hear the latest episode of “The Shadow” or “Fibber McGee and Molly,” the sounds that brought the stories to life were all done manually — using whatever tools and objects happened to be available, creating emotions out of thin air, eliciting dread, horror, sadness and laughter from listeners. Chatterbox Audio Theater produces audio plays utilizing the same methods as the old time radio masters. Producer Larry Dunn spent some time with this Memphis-based group and takes us inside a world created with sound. When asked to name his favorite President, Abraham Lincoln never hesitated. “Andrew Jackson!” was his answer. It was Jackson, after all, who held the Union together long before the Civil War. The man from Tennessee who was given the nickname of “Old Hickory” never shied away from a fight. He once wrestled a would-be assassin to the ground on the Capitol steps. Recently Producer Pierre Kimsey sat down with Pulitzer Prize winning author Jon Meacham to discuss his new book about Jackson entitled American Lion.

This series will air on WKNO Saturdays at 8:30 a.m. Electric Company kno kids Is Turning on the Power with a New The popular series that aired in the 1970s is coming back, in a new form. The Electric Company aims to entertain children between the ages of 6 and 9 while simultaneously teaching fundamental reading skills. Like the original show, the series draws from pop culture — music, comedy, technology and celebrities — to create a playful, hip, multi-media experience. The series includes many modular elements: sketches, animations and songs. The Electric Company itself is a group of friends from a New York neighborhood bound by a love for language and sworn to do the right thing. They are the Fantastic Four of Phonics, the Conquistadors of Connected Text, the Virtuosos of Vocabulary. They will be called upon to solve problems that have been created by a naughty group of neighborhood pranksters. In every instance, the Company prevails against the pranksters by employing superior dexterity in the use of the words. The problems and situations can be fantastical and the solutions may border the ridiculous, but each episode will follow a psychedelic logic that is playful, funny and musical. In fact, each episode is a little madcap musical comedy all its own. The Electric Company will air Fridays at 4:00 p.m. beginning January 23. Don’t miss a special marathon preview on Monday, January 19, 3:00 - 5:00 p.m., on ‘KNO Kids/Channel 10. The popular series America’s Test Kitchen returns to WKNO on Saturday, Januar y 31 at 11:00 a.m. The team, comprised of familiar faces and newcomers, rigorously tests more than 50 new recipes to help chefs find success in the kitchen.
