December 2023 Public Media CONNECT Member Program Guide

PUBLIC MEDIA CONNECT December 2023 • 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 are finding time during the busy holiday season to relax, spend time with family and enjoy your public television stations on-air and online.

If you’re still looking for gift ideas this holiday season, Passport - our streaming video service – is a wonderful benefit available with a yearly membership to ThinkTV or CET. Passport offers access to more than 1,500 episodes of your favorite PBS shows.

Our education department continues to work on the statewide initiative Ohio Learns 360 (OL360). In partnership with the other Ohio PBS stations and state agencies, OL360 seeks to accelerate learning for Ohio’s students in grades K-5. Now in its second year, OL360 has trained 2,281 Out-of-School-Time Providers, including before and after-school program staff as well as summer programs; delivered 2,128 Camp-in-a-Box kits across rural, urban and suburban communities; served more than 113,000 students through the Camp kits and much more.

WKRC, WCKY, WHIO-TV, Metro Networks and CBS/ABC Radio and Mr. Laguerre, Jr. has worked with Detroit’s NPR station, WDET. Look for the launch of Brick by Brick in 2024.

The holiday season wouldn’t be complete without holiday programming. Season of Light: Christmas with the Tabernacle Choir features award-winning artists Lea Salonga and Sir David Suchet and includes timeless carols, treasured songs and a story of heroic service.

Karamu: Feast for the 7th Day explores the history, principles and symbols of Kwanzaa while celebrating the culinary traditions of West Africa. Christmas at Westminster: An Evening of Readings and Carols showcases the Westminster Choir at its annual holiday concert. Mary Berry’s Highland Christmas finds Ms. Berry spending Christmas in her mother’s homeland of Scotland to soak up her Scottish heritage and enjoy traditional festive delights with familiar faces, as well as cooking up some of her own indulgent dishes. And finally, the midwives of Nonnatus House are delivering more babies and drama in the Call the Midwife Holiday Special 2023.

From educational projects to local productions to holiday programming – it’s all possible because of you.

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

Our production team continues to work on our new community affairs program, Brick by Brick, with the hiring of award-winning journalist, Ann Thompson, and multi-media journalist, Hernz Laguerre, Jr. Ms. Thompson has reported for Cincinnati Public Radio,

Station News Public Media Connect Building the Brick by Brick Team We’re gearing up to launch our new Brick by Brick project and we’re excited to announce that we’ve hired the first two members of our team – award-winning journalist and radio host Ann Thompson and multi-media journalist Hernz Laguerre, Jr. Thompson, known locally for her work with WVXU, will be the project producer.

Thompson has more than 30 years of radio and television journalism experience and was named Best Reporter for large market radio in Ohio in 2011 and 2018. She has reported for WKRC, WCKY, WHIO-TV, Metro Networks and CBS/ABC Radio. Her work has been recognized by the Associated Press and the Society of Professional Journalists.

Laguerre, Jr. is a Haitian American who was born and raised in Spring Valley, NY. He went to school at S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University where he learned to hone his skills as a storyteller.

After graduating with his bachelor’s in Broadcast and Digital Journalism and his master’s in Television Radio and Film, he went on to a career in media as a producer, reporter and freelance videographer for companies like ESPN and Court TV.
