Dear Friend,
We are now officially one year away from the transition to digital television (February 17,
2009). 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!
Best regards,
Norm Silverstein, WXXI President & CEO

onorin
AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY
Poet Maya Angelou, author Bliss Broyard, actor Don Cheadle,
publisher Linda Johnson Rice, athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee,
comedian Chris Rock, rock ’n’ roll legend Tina Turner are just a
few who will tell their compelling stories of personal discoveries
in African American Lives 2, a sequel to the acclaimed African
American Lives (2006).
The new four-part series airs on two consecutive Wednesdays,
February 6 and 13 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11) and WXXIHD (cable 1011/DT21.1). Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.
returns as the series’ host, guiding genealogical investigations
down through the 20th century, Reconstruction, slavery and
early U.S. history, and presenting cutting-edge genetic analysis
that locates participants’ ancestors in Africa, Europe and
America. African American Lives 2 is just one of many television
and radio programs WXXI will broadcast to commemorate Black
History Month. See a list of additional programs on page 6.
WXXI is also proud to host its first African-American
Educational Awareness Film Series, every Saturday in February
from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at its studios (280 State Street). The
screenings, each followed by a discussion, are free and open to
the public, but reservations are required. To reserve your seat,

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

The Four Winged Dinosaur
Imagine a moment from the age of dinosaurs frozen in time: primitive birds,
bees, insects, early mammals, the first known flowering plants and of course,
dinosaurs all exquisitely preserved in fine-grained fossils from China’s Liaoning
Province. 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.

With five daughters, no sons and an entailed

American Experience “Grand Central” On the
morning of January 8, 1902, a southbound
commuter train traveling through a smoky,
congested tunnel in New York City’s Grand
Central Depot slammed into the rear of another
train, instantly killing 17 people, and injuring
38. A self-taught engineer’s innovative response
to that crisis ultimately gave birth to one of
America’s greatest architectural and technological monuments—Grand Central Terminal. When
Grand Central Terminal opened on February 12,
1913, the press heralded it as the greatest railway terminal in the world. Today, it remains one
of New York and America’s most famous spaces,
and a living monument to the nation’s great railway age. HD

The Mormons The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints is one of America’s fastest growing religions, and its influence circles the globe.
The church has 11 million members today and
over half of them live outside the U.S. Yet the birth
of Mormonism and its history are one of America’s
great neglected narratives. This two-part, fourhour documentary brings together Frontline and
American Experience in their first co-production
to provide a searching portrait of this fascinating
but often misunderstood religion. Produced by
award-winning filmmaker Helen Whitney (“Faith
and Doubt at Ground Zero,” “John Paul II: The
Millennial Pope”), the film explores the richness,
the complexities and the controversies of the
Mormons’ story as told through interviews with
leaders and members of the church, leading writers and historians and supporters and critics of
the Mormon faith. Part 1 of 2 (R) HD

OnStage “Hypnotic Clambake” Originally from the
Boston, MA area, Hypnotic Clambake now reside
and work in Rochester, NY. Their music combines
a multitude of musical styling and elements into a
cohesive mixture of swirling, infectiously danceable
music. They have released seven highly acclaimed
albums and perform all over the country.
Nature “Arctic Bears” Polar bears are living on
borrowed time. They are the descendents of grizzlies,
long ago evolved to live and hunt on the frozen ice of
the Arctic, eating a specialized diet of seal meat, but
the winters have become increasingly warmer, the
ice is disappearing, and raising a family becomes a
much more difficult proposition when hunting time
is short and food is scarce. Grizzlies, on the other
hand, are masters at living off the land, making a
meal from a wide variety of foods -meats, seeds,
berries, insects, fruit and honey. Their world is
bountiful and expanding northward, converging
with what was once the icy domain of the polar
bear. As the two worlds meet, are the polar bears
fated to become grizzlies once again? D))) HD

Stones from the Soil This personal documentary
is about Gross Breesen, a unique school in 1930’s
Germany, in which a small group of Jewish teenagers were trained to become the vanguard of a
new society. 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. The group was released a month later
after signing a promise to leave Germany as
quickly as possible; everyone at Gross Breesen
left Germany by August of 1939. Sixty-six years
later, Michael Caplan, the son of one of the Gross
Breesen students, returned to find the farm. This
film is a tribute to a father, a reflection on memory
and an important preservation of a formerly untold
story from the Nazi era.

NOVA “Ape Genius” The great apes—which
includes chimps, orangutans, gorillas and bonobos—seem to have rich emotional lives similar to
our own. But just how smart are these animals?
A new generation of investigators is revealing the
secret mental lives of great apes; our evolutionary
next-of-kin are turning out to be far smarter than
most experts ever imagined. But just as clever
experiments are exposing the extraordinary abilities of great apes, new research is redefining the
mental talents of our own species. Scientists are
at last zeroing in on what separates us from our
closest living relatives. D))) HD

on the American frontier inspired dozens of dime
novels, but the stories told in these wildly popular
books belie the complexities of the real Kit Carson,
whose life embodies the contradictions that is the
story of the American West. An illiterate mountain
man, he was fluent in Spanish and five Indian
languages; he twice married Native American
women, yet led a brutal war against the Navajo.
Using rich archival materials, the program shows
how Carson helped spur a migration that would

blending of styles that is American music. She

STATION SIGNALS
february 2008
By February 17, 2009, the nation will
complete a TV technology transition.
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. We are here to help you
during this transition, so please feel free to contact us
with any questions you may have about DTV.
Call (585) 325-7500.

CLASSICAL PROGRAMMING

manon lescaut
Saturday afternoons are reserved for the Met, and on February
16th you can either tune into to Classical 91.5/HD 91.5-1
to hear the live broadcast of Manon Lescaut, or see the live
performance straight from New York City via satellite at the
Regal Cinemas at Eastview. 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.

WXXI-FM’s Julia Figueras invites the Erie Saxophone Quartet into the Henry
Epstein Studio for the next Backstage Pass. Formed in 2006 at the State
University at Fredonia, the Quartet is devoted to study and performance of the
saxophone as a classical and chamber instrument. Join Julia as she speaks
with soprano saxophonist Jacob Swanson, alto saxophonist Sarah Marchitelli,
tenor saxophonist Jill Carere, and baritone saxophonist Melissa Widzinski, and
invites the Quartet to perform.
Backstage Pass is a live radio series committed to highlighting musical

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.
