WCTE’s Stations of Imagination
at Fall FunFest:
Where Imagination
Comes for Fun!
Friday, September 6 (5-7pm)
& Saturday, September 7 (10am-5pm)

I
magination comes to life once again at WCTE’s
18th annual Stations of Imagination at Fall
FunFest on the Square in Cookeville. Join us on
Amigo Street, TTU Blvd, and Safety Lane, where
this year’s event will feature two of PBS television’s favorite
characters: Sesame Street’s Walkaround Honker and Super
Why’s very own Super Why and Princess Pesto.
Started in honor of Sawyer, a young boy who loved Elmo
Super Why
throughout his short eighteen-month life, WCTE’s Stations
of Imagination at Fall FunFest “is an opportunity to come
together as a family to celebrate our son,” commented Rena Johnston, Sawyer’s mother. “Over the
past seventeen years we’ve had the pleasure of watching so many young people grow and continue
Honker
to share a love for all PBS shows. Stations of Imagination offers a free, family fun day. Besides our
family, many volunteers pull together to give
back by planning fun activities for the children in our community.”
The Zinghoppe
rs
Just as WCTE brings the shows that children know and love into their homes, Stations
of Imagination at Fall FunFest brings PBS and its characters to the Upper Cumberland. Also
stopping by this year is the popular Zinghoppers, who will perform on Saturday at 11:00am
and 1:00pm. All ages can join in our Silent Disco premiere, where everyone is encouraged
to get up and dance to the music in their own heads! And for those interested in a behindthe-scenes look at TV programming, WCTE’s mobile lab will open its doors and give kids
the opportunity to recite portions of the Gettysburg Address as a promotional spot for the
upcoming Ken Burns documentary, The Address.
This year’s event is shaping up to be the best one yet, so join in the fun with the whole
family at WCTE’s Stations of Imagination at Fall FunFest!
A big thank you goes out to our sponsors. You Rock!

American Graduate
Day 2013
Saturday, Sept. 28, 11am – 6pm
A Live National Multiplatform Event to Keep Students on the Path to Graduation
A
merican Graduate Day 2013 will use a
seven-hour “call to action” marathon
around critical themes, including
Expanded Learning Time & After School
Programs, Early Education, Mentoring, Career
Readiness & College Completion, STEM
Programs, Family Support, and Dropout Reengagement & Prevention. Hosted by on-air
personalities from the broadcast and online
event will be divided into 14 half-hour blocks
featuring a mix of live breaks and pre-taped
partner segments showing how community
organizations provide support, advice, and
intervention services to at-risk students,
families, and schools.
Throughout the day, viewers and online
users will be invited to become American
Graduate Champions by connecting with
their local public television stations and the
featured local community organizations.
Viewers will be encouraged to participate in
the event by asking questions and sharing
ideas before and during the broadcast on
Twitter using the hashtag #AmGrad and on
Facebook. Those interested in becoming
an “American Graduate Champion” can
also call the Toll free number on the day of
broadcast or log on to AmericanGraduate.
org to find out more about the national and
regional organizations and how to help in their
hometowns.
“Together with our 1000 local and national
partners, we are having an impact and moving
toward the national goal of a 90 percent
graduation rate by the year 2020,” said Pat
Harrison, CPB president and CEO. “American
Graduate Day is just one example of how local
public television and radio stations provide
content that matters and engagement that
counts.”

SCREENINGS
The Graduates/Los Graduados
The Graduates/Los Graduados is a two-part, two-hour documentary program. Each episode of The
Graduates profiles three students who were in danger of dropping out of high school. The first hour of the
series tells the stories of three young women who, through a combination of educational and community
resources, as well as supportive families, are able to surmount the obstacles that might have prevented
them from completing their education. In the second hour, we meet three young men who have struggled
with challenges such as immigration status, brushes with the law, and bullying. With a combination of
community and family support, each student is able to find a program that helps him to remain in school,
further his education, and get involved in his community.

n January, the WCTE development
staff moved out of their offices under
Tucker Stadium on the Tennessee
Tech campus and into a new, more
visible location at 229 East Broad Street in
Cookeville.
Now it’s time to show off this sleek new
space—and you’re invited!
On September 10, WCTE welcomes
station members, partners, and everyone in
the community to their new offices for an
official ribbon cutting and open house from
11 am-1 pm. Visitors will be welcomed
into the inviting lobby, studio, offices, and
conference room—you might even take a
ride in Cookeville’s oldest elevator!
In addition, the extraordinary WCTE
mobile production unit (MPU) will be
on site for tours behind the building on
Madison Street. Guests young and old
can get a sneak peek behind the scenes of a
WCTE television production. This stateof-the-art unit houses equipment such as
an audio board and control room—come
see how television magic is created and
managed from the eyes of a producer!
…And don’t forget to bring the kids!
Fans of the popular PBS Kids program
Super Why! will have a chance to meet
favorite characters Super Why and Princess
Presto, who will be present for the occasion.
Join us in celebrating the grand opening
of our downtown office!

Celeste Flatt
WCTE Account Manager
C
eleste Flatt arrived to our interview
friendly and composed, with a big
smile on her face despite the fact she
had been out chasing escaped horses. She
shares a Rickman cabin with a labradoodle
named Willow and a gentleman she
simply refers to as “my honey.” A native of
Cookeville, she has 4 children ranging in ages
from 13 to 23 plus a two-year old grandson.
Celeste joined WCTE as an account
manager in February. She came to the station
with a background in banking. She also once
co-owned a furniture store and she’s all about
customer service.
“It’s a challenge I enjoy,’ Celeste enthused.
“ Some people are born to serve the public.
I’m one of those people.”
While you may have been entertained by
her sparkling personality as one of the on-air
hosts at the Smithville Fiddlers’ Jamboree,
Celeste’s true work as an account manager
involves helping businesses find the perfect
fit for program sponsorship so they can reach
their target markets in Middle Tennessee,
southern Kentucky and of course, the Upper
Cumberland. That mission takes her all
around the counties in our region.
“We are the PBS station of the Upper
Cumberland – the only TV station within a
75-mile radius,” commented Celeste. “People
throughout our region not only have to be
familiar with us – they have to know we are
working for them.”
“It excites me to go to places like Rugby
and Rock Island and our many other vital
communities in the Upper Cumberland. I
am inspired by the creativity and artistic
values of many of those hometown
businesses.”
“I love my job and I love having a
productive flow to my life. When you look
forward to to going to work everyday, it just
makes you happy.”
If you are interested in contacting the
happy Celeste Flatt to look into WCTE
program sponsorship opportunities, please
email her at cflatt@wcte.org or give her a call
at 931.528.2222, ext 301.

LAST TANGO is an uplifting six-part comedy/drama
about romance and second chances. Full of zesty humor,
authentic characters and glorious dialogue, it’s about
timeless love.
Childhood sweethearts Alan and Celia, both widowed
and in their 70s, fall for each other a second time when
they are reunited on the internet after nearly 60 years.
As their lives collide, the couple laments what might
have been as they begin a life-affirming journey together.
While their relationship is a celebratory tale of the power
of love at any age, it is also a story about family — a
family with baggage. Alan and Celia’s daughters, whose
dysfunctional lives bring drama at every turn, would
never dream of getting in the way of their parents’
happiness. But somehow they just can’t help themselves.

The Hollow Crown is a lavish new four-part series
of filmed adaptations of four of Shakespeare’s most
gripping history plays: Richard II, Henry IV, Parts 1 and
2 and Henry V. The original “Game of Thrones” has
inspired bold film adaptations with a cast of leading
British and Hollywood talent.
These are bloody tales of family, politics and power
— they tell the rise and fall of three kings and how
their destiny shaped English history. Richard II (Ben
Whishaw) is a vain, self-indulgent man who rules with
little regard for his people’s welfare. He is ultimately
overthrown by his cousin Bolingbroke (Rory Kinnear),
who ascends the throne as Henry IV (Jeremy Irons).
Henry IV’s reign is marred by his own guilt over
Richard’s death, civil war, and the gnawing fear that his
son Hal (Tom Hiddleston) is a total wastrel unworthy
of the throne. When Hal comes to the throne as Henry
V, he is left to bury the ghosts of his father’s past while
fighting both the French forces as well as his own inner
demons.

LATINO AMERICANS
Tuesdays at 7pm & 8pm
Sept. 17, 24 & Oct. 1
In six episodes, LATINO AMERICANS chronicles the rich
and varied history and experiences of Latinos, who have for
the past 500-plus years helped shape the United States and
have become, with more than 50 million people, the largest
minority group in the U.S.
Sept. 17
Episode 1. “Foreigners in Their Own Land” spans the
period from 1565-1880.
Episode 2. “Empire of Dreams” documents how the
American population begins to be reshaped by the influx of
people that began in 1880 and continues into the 1940s.
Sept. 24
Episode 3. “War and Peace” moves into the World War II
years and those that follow.
Episode 4. “The New Latinos” highlights the swelling
immigration from Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Dominican
Republic that stretches from the post-World War II years
into the early 1960s as the new arrivals seek economic
opportunities.
Oct. 1
Episode 5. “Prejudice and Pride” details the creation of
the proud “Chicano” identity.
Episode 6. “Peril and Promise” takes viewers through
the past 30 years, with a second wave of Cubans arriving
in Miami during the Mariel exodus and with hundreds
of thousands Salvadorans, Nicaraguans and Guatemalans
fleeing civil wars, death squads and unrest to go north into a
new land — transforming the United States along the way.
A companion book by Ray Suarez, Senior Correspondent
for PBS NEWSHOUR, will be released to coincide with
the series.

ENEALOGY ROADSHOW’s
premiere season feature
participants from four American
cities —Nashville, Austin, San
Francisco and Detroit — who want to explore
unverified genealogical claims passed down
through family histories that may (or may
not) connect them to an event or an historical
figure. These cities were chosen as American
crossroads of culture, diversity, industry
and history with deep pools of potential
participants and stories.
Experts in genealogy, history and DNA
use heirlooms, letters, pictures, historical
documents and other clues to hunt down
22 | WCTE Close-Up
details. Producers enlist the help of local
historians to add color and context to the
investigations, ensuring every artifact and every
name becomes a clue in solving the mystery.
Many answers will be revealed on camera
before a local audience, in a historic building
relevant to the cities’ – and the participants’ –
histories
“Nashville is a natural fit for
GENEALOGY ROADSHOW. The city’s
southern hospitality, rich background, and
historical roots date back to its dominance as
a major shipping port where people from all
over came to sell their goods,” said executive
producer Stuart Krasnow. “We’re looking for a
diverse mix of stories from locals who want to
know more about their history.”
“The stories of everyday people, told
in some of America’s most extraordinary
locations, will make GENEALOGY
ROADSHOW the perfect destination for
people who love history and real-life drama,”
said Beth Hoppe, Chief Programming
Executive and General Manager of
General Audience Programming for PBS.
“GENEALOGY ROADSHOW is about
anyone and everyone, proving that you don’t
have to be famous to be remarkable.”
