Policymakers and leaders of Wisconsin have always put a
high stake on education. A Wisconsin innovator founded
the nation’s first kindergarten, and its public and private
schools at all levels are
the envy of the nation.
Education for

took significant steps to
increase the educational
potency of broadcasting
with the arrival of digital television across our network.
What that means for
educators and their
students in the future is
powerful – tremendous
amounts of text,
graphics or additional
audio and video will
move along with the
broadcasts.
Teachers will be able to
download information
for lesson planning, and
employers can upgrade
the skills of their
workforce. Home
computers and TVs
soon can be used as vast
libraries of media
information to
download, save and
recall at any time.

appears weekly on Sewing With Nancy. The
program is taped in the WPT studios and
distributed for broadcast across the country.
Lifelong learning has
always been the
lynchpin of WPT’s service in less technologically based ways,
too. There is the monthly presentation of our own production,
The Wisconsin Gardener, focusing on Wisconsin’s particular
growing conditions.
The popularity of our cooking, needle arts, home
improvement and travel programs expand horizons and will
remain a staple of what we provide to appreciative audiences.

World War II veteran Harry
Whitehorse shares his memories
through a far-reaching and
moving history project.
Wisconsin’s World War II veterans.
They have been called members of
America’s greatest generation.
Their valor, sacrifice and bravery
saved the world from tyranny, and
now they are slipping away from
us with each passing day. To
preserve the legacy of their deeds,
WPT has undertaken an ambitious
project -- Wisconsin World War II
Stories. On it, we partner with the
Wisconsin Department of Veterans
Affairs and the Wisconsin
Historical Society.
The effort includes four broadcasts.
The first aired in the spring and
captured the stories of 16 veterans.
Response was swift and heartfelt. “I watched the Wisconsin World
War II Stories program and was really touched,” said a Washburn
resident. She was one of nearly 100,000 viewers who bypassed
stiff competition from
network television to tune
WPT and its
in. Work on the remaining
three programs is ongoing.
partners are saving
pieces of our World
War II past for
future generations
to learn from and
cherish.
A rich Web site augments
the broadcasts. At
wisconsinstories.org there
are resources, streaming
video, an image gallery, and
tips to preserve World War
II memorabilia and family
stories through oral history.
Some veterans and their
families chose to share their stories through the Web, which
expands the depth of the project. Amazing and inspiring
public stories have been the result.
A veteran who suffered through the
Bataan Death March told a tale, as
did a veteran who helped establish
a memorial in Norway to honor
pilots killed over the North Sea.
Each story, in its own way, is
riveting and represents a piece of
the past that WPT is proud to help
save for future generations.
News and Public Affairs
Community Outreach
Well-informed citizens
are the foundation of an
engaged democracy.
Recognizing that WPT is
a trusted source for such
knowledge, this year we
premiered two new
offerings, Here and Now
that is the program of
record for legislative and
congressional action, and
In Wisconsin, a news magazine about the people, places and
issues of the state.
Local community
outreach uses the
powerful medium of
television to spark
discussion and act as a
catalyst for change. A case
in point: Hundreds of
people turned out on a
frigid January evening to
watch P.O.V. Two Towns
of Jasper about race
relations in a Texan town,
then focused the
conversation on race relations in southern Wisconsin. WPT
worked with 10 local community-based organizations,
including the NAACP, the YWCA and the Boys & Girls Club
of Dane County.
WPT’s award-winning
news and public
affairs programs
keep Wisconsin’s
citizens informed
and engaged.
Such robust Wisconsin coverage enhances the international
and national news and analysis to be found on programs
like The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer and Frontline.
The glow of our news and public affairs service also draws
national attention. WPT won the prestigious USC Annenberg
Walter Cronkite Award for
Excellence in Television
Political Journalism for its
tracking of the 2002 election
through a vast Web site, ad
watch segments on weekly
programs, debates, candidate
appearances and innovative
coverage of political contests.
Last fall, Wisconsin found
itself with a new governor,
state leaders and local
officeholders. Through a
televised inauguration and
State of the State address,
WPT ensured that Wisconsin
residents continued to be
informed about the political landscape.
The Web sites, www.wpt.org/hereandnow,
www.wpt.org/inwisconsin and
www.wisconsinvote.org offer richer resources on
WPT’s news and public affairs services.
WPT, along with partners the Wisconsin Historical Society
and the Department of Veterans Affairs, created and distributed
a special mailing to a targeted audience interested in the
first of four broadcasts on Wisconsin veterans’ roles in World
War II (left). Frederica Freyberg, anchor of the weekly program
Here and Now, talks to the people who make the news and those
who have to live with it (above). WPT’s Ready to Learn literacy
efforts nurture our youngest generation (right).
Even when the
television is turned
off, WPT creates an
impact on people’s
lives through local
community outreach.
That provocative night
spawned a long-term
diversity project
throughout the state with
further screenings, and a
WPT-led advisory group of
committed individuals
who are writing
curriculum for high school
use. The 4-H Youth
Leadership Program is our
partner on the initiative.
We are attuned to curriculum in the earlier years as well
and are an enthusiastic participant in a federal Ready to
Learn effort that builds literacy and other life skills in
young children so they are “ready to learn” when they first
attend school.
Studies have demonstrated that a child who has access to
books will ultimately be a better student. WPT’s First Book
project, which provides pre-school children with free books
and adult reading volunteers, has 5,500 enrollees and one
of the country’s highest participation rates. WPT serves
children who are otherwise not likely to own books because
of family economic conditions. Our partners on this project
are UW-Extension Family Living Programs and the Wisconsin
Association for Home and Community Education.
Finally, WPT and Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) strive to
ensure that public broadcasting is responsive to local needs.
Hearing first-hand what those needs are is critical to
developing and implementing relevant offerings. This year,
WPT and WPR met with community leaders, government
officials and business people in Janesville, Oshkosh and
Marshfield to get that infusion of input.

Volunteers, too, provide immeasurable contributions to what WPT

Wisconsin Public Television Annual Report 2003
Supporters
Wisconsin Public Television could not do what it does – provide
a robust educational and entertainment service to the people of
Wisconsin for 365 days a year – without the support of a lot of
people. Those people are individuals and families who value the
local productions, PBS programs and community outreach we
offer in a non-commercial setting.
Other supporters are just as integral to the mix of delivery.
Foundations, businesses, community-based organizations and
government also provide generous means to ensure a continuation
of our reach to more than 600,000 viewers across Wisconsin
each week.
Volunteers, too, provide immeasurable contributions to what WPT
accomplishes on air and through community events.
Whatever the source, be assured that we make the most of this
generosity – making the funds go as far as they possibly can. And,
whatever the source, know that we are grateful.
2003 Program Underwriters
Wisconsin’s business community generously supports highquality public broadcasting through its resources. Public
and private foundations add to the effort as well.
The following underwriters supported WPT as of June 30, 2003.

“All of us still sit down sometimes to watch a bit of Mr. Rogers.
His message that one can be liked just the way s/he is was very
important to me growing up and I’m sure continues to be of
cardinal importance to children.” Paul from Pierce County
“My window to the past, present and future is always Wisconsin
Public Television.” Annie from Brown County
“Thank you for presenting the various governor and lt. governor
candidates through five-minute segments. It is the essence of
democracy. Views should be exposed to the open air – the way
that views can best be evaluated… Thanks for nurturing
democracy in Wisconsin. Nothing in our system should be a
foregone conclusion. It should all be open to debate.”
a male viewer
“I am an English/communications teacher. I recently viewed
Teen Connection. Very simply, I must express my deepest
appreciation and compliments on such fine programming. Your
format and level of information is both appropriate and effective.”
Jerome from Green County
“P.O.V. Two Towns of Jasper, it was powerful stuff. Disturbing,
troubling, thoughtful and thought provoking, even encouraging
and ultimately hopeful. It was television at its best. Live theater!
A revealing human drama with echoes reaching all across our

and more in the last year.

“All of us still sit down sometimes to watch a bit of Mr. Rogers.
His message that one can be liked just the way s/he is was very
important to me growing up and I’m sure continues to be of
cardinal importance to children.” Paul from Pierce County
“My window to the past, present and future is always Wisconsin
Public Television.” Annie from Brown County
“Thank you for presenting the various governor and lt. governor
candidates through five-minute segments. It is the essence of
democracy. Views should be exposed to the open air – the way
that views can best be evaluated… Thanks for nurturing
democracy in Wisconsin. Nothing in our system should be a
foregone conclusion. It should all be open to debate.”
a male viewer
“I am an English/communications teacher. I recently viewed
Teen Connection. Very simply, I must express my deepest
appreciation and compliments on such fine programming. Your
format and level of information is both appropriate and effective.”
Jerome from Green County
“P.O.V. Two Towns of Jasper, it was powerful stuff. Disturbing,
troubling, thoughtful and thought provoking, even encouraging
and ultimately hopeful. It was television at its best. Live theater!
A revealing human drama with echoes reaching all across our
country.” a female viewer
