December 2022 Public Media CONNECT Member Program Guide

PUBLIC MEDIA CONNECT December 2022 • MEMBER PROGRAM GUIDE

CET • ThinkTV16 • ThinkTV14 www.CETconnect.org • www.thinktv.org

Welcome Dear Member, Welcome to December and the official start of winter! I hope you find time during the busy holiday season to relax and enjoy all your public television stations have to offer – on-air and online.

If you’re still looking for gift ideas, Passport - our streaming video service – is a wonderful benefit available with a yearly or monthly membership to ThinkTV or CET. Passport offers access to more than 1,500 episodes of your favorite PBS shows. December is also an excellent time to consider those year-end, taxdeductible donations. More information is available at www.thinktv.org/support and www.cetconnect.org/support as well as in the station news section of this magazine.

In October, our production team, in coordination with WVXU and the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber, produced the debate for Ohio’s 1st congressional district at our CET studios. Thank you to everyone who made the debate in Cincinnati possible. The digital team also hit a 50-episode milestone for our digital series, Hobby Hunting.

Our education department recently premiered new YouTube videos for Talking Jobs and Engineering Your Future: Middle School Edition. Our podcast, For the Love of EdTech, is getting great traction in the education community. And our statewide education initiative, Ohio Learns 360, is in full swing with weekly after-school

360 programs, monthly family webinars and quarterly virtual field trips. Two family webinars and one virtual field trip are available to stream in English and Spanish on the PBS App and at OhioLearns360.org.

What holiday season would be complete without holiday programming? This month Call the Midwife Holiday Special 2022 finds the midwives moving the maternity ward into new premises. Christmas with Mary Berry & Friends is packed with her delicious recipes for a three-course feast. Mary and her friends will help you prep, shop and plan before the big day itself. The Real Bedford Falls: It’s a Wonderful Life, makes the case that when Frank Capra made his classic Christmas tale with James Stewart and Donna Reed, he had Seneca Fall, NY in mind. Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas explores how many of the classic holiday songs were written by Jewish songwriters and looks at other Jewish traditions around Hanukkah. O Holy Night: Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir features the 360-member choir backed by a 150-member orchestra. United in Song: A New Year’s Eve Special rings in the New Year with a concert taped at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall.

From in-studio productions to educational podcasts to holiday programming – it’s all possible because of you.

Thank you for supporting CET and ThinkTV. Have a wonderful holiday season!

December Highlights The Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald: 50th Anniversary at Radio City Music Hall Tuesday, November 29, at 8pm on CET Thursday, December 1, at 8pm on ThinkTV16 Friday, December 2, at 8pm on ThinkTV14

Celebrate 50 years with the GRAMMY-winning band that has sold more than 48 million records worldwide. Their hits include “What a Fool Believes,” “Listen to the Music,” “Jesus Is Just All Right,” “China Grove” and more.

Nature “Penguins: Meet the Family” Wednesday, December 7, at 8pm on ThinkTV16 and CET Monday, December 12, at 8pm on ThinkTV14

This episode is a unique celebration of one of Earth’s most iconic and beloved birds and features all 18 species of penguins for the first time, from New Zealand, Cape Town, the Galapagos Islands and Antarctica.

American Masters: The Adventures of Saul Bellows Monday, December 12, at 9pm on CET and ThinkTV16

This film traces Bellow’s rise to eminence and examines his many identities: reluctant public intellectual, “serial husband,” father, Chicagoan and Jewish American. It also sheds light on his willingness to confront social issues, his criticisms of American society and materialism, and his provocative political view.

O Holy Night: Christmas with the Tabernacle Choir Tuesday, December 13, at 8pm on ThinkTV16 AND CET

Recorded during the 2021 holiday season, this celebration of the “Irish Christmas” features the Tabernacle Choir with performances by Megan Hilty and Neal McDonough. This concert was particularly moving because, after performing for a vacant theater in 2020, a limited audience was able to witness the magic live and in person.

Call the Midwife Christmas Special Sunday, December 25, at 9pm on CET and ThinkTV16

The joy of Christmas returns to Poplar for another whirlwind holiday special.

This year’s special is set to include the return of some long-awaited characters (no spoilers!) as well a return to pre-pandemic recording practices, meaning they can hold the babies again. This might seem small for viewers, but the photos lit up on social media.

Station News Two Family Webinars and Virtual Field Trip Available to Stream As a part of the ever-growing collection of resources to support students and families, CET and ThinkTV are now streaming three new videos as a part of the Ohio Learns 360 project, in partnership with Ohio’s other PBS stations and with financial support from the Ohio Department of Education.

First, the virtual field trip to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History takes viewers on a behind-the-scenes look at several of the museum’s prized collection pieces and the stories behind them. The other two videos are part of our Family Webinar series, a monthly live event, now available for streaming, that focuses conversations on timely and pressing issues facing Ohio’s families as they navigate schools and the changing nature of education. In partnership with WOSU Public Media, these episodes feature regional and national experts on family engagement and public education.

All three videos are available to stream on the PBS App or online at https://video.thinktv.org/show/ohio-learns-360/.

Carnival of the Animals: Remix Thank you to all of our sponsors, partners, artists and attendees who made the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra concerts in October so amazing. We hope to have information about the broadcast as well as resources on PBS LearningMedia available soon!

Public Media Connect Pleased to Support West End Community Several years ago, West End community member Andrew VanSickle posed a question to a group of local youth, “Do you know who Ezzard Charles was?”

No one could answer, but one did point to the street sign, a fixture since 1976. At that moment, VanSickle knew something would need to be done to educate the community about their very own World Heavyweight Champion, the “Cincinnati Cobra.”

The chance meeting sparked a movement, ushered by the Cincinnati Parks Foundation, to revitalize the West End park which now bears Charles’ name. Funding from the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. Foundation and various community sponsors, made it possible to erect a park plaza with seating, free public WiFi, and a 13-foot statue of Ezzard Charles designed by local artist, John Hebenstreit.

The statue unveiling and plaza dedication took place Saturday, October 1, 2022 with Ezzard Charles’ family in attendance, and was followed by the annual Ezz Fest celebration featuring free food, music, and family activities. CET’s studios are in the West End and Public Media Connect was one of many partners involved in this project. We provided media sponsorship for the event and served on the dedication committee. Thank you to the event committee for allowing us to be involved.

Station News Make Your 2022 Year-End Gift December is a great time to make a year-end gift to support public media.

Consider a Qualified Charitable Distribution: If you are at least 70 ½, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to ThinkTV or CET. Your gift will never count as income, but will always make a difference. Contact your plan administrator for more information or reach us at the numbers below.

Reduce taxes with a gift of stock: Making a gift of stock or appreciated assets is a smart way to avoid capital gains taxes, reduce income tax, and support our mission at the same time. Visit our website for details.

Let us know how we can help you reach your charitable goals and support public television.
