July 2023 Public Media CONNECT Member Program Guide

Welcome

Dear Member,

Welcome to July and welcome to our members who joined or renewed their support during our June Membership Campaign. Your support makes everything we do possible – from local productions to educational initiatives to PBS programming – it’s all available to the communities we serve because of you.

Speaking of local productions, we’ve begun work on two projects that we’re very excited about. The first is a documentary on Bing Davis, an African American artist, activist and educator from Dayton who came of age in the civil rights era. Through this one-hour documentary, viewers will gain insight into Bing Davis’ artistic process, his experiences as an educator and mentor and his activism in the community. In addition, we will bring Mr. Davis’ work and life into the classroom by creating educational resources for PBS Learning Media. The documentary is scheduled to premiere in the spring of 2024.

We’ve also begun work on a regional community affairs program about rebuilding our cities. As a follow up to our redlining documentary, our community affairs program will take a look at efforts in both Cincinnati and Dayton to bring creative solutions to long-standing issues, many of them rooted in our segregated housing. The series will take a Solutions Journalism approach, focused on what the news misses most often: how people are trying to solve problems and what we can learn from their success

or failures. By covering solutions to local and regional challenges, we can help equip people with the knowledge to envision and build more equitable and sustainable communities. The community affairs program is slated to premiere in early 2024.

PBS programming in July features the premiere of Human Footprint, a six-part series that is part-science, parttravel and explores the ways humans are transforming the planet and what those transformations tell us about who we are as a species. The crime drama DI Ray introduces viewers to Rachita Ray, a police officer who takes on a case that forces her to confront a lifelong personal conflict between her British identity and her South Asian heritage. POV premieres “A House Made of Splinters” about children in a special orphanage in eastern Ukraine. And Southern Storytellers follows a group of the South’s most significant contemporary creators into their home communities for a thought-provoking exploration of the South and its people.

Then, on July 20th, our Day of Giving returns to CET and ThinkTV. During this special campaign we will have one-time only gifts available for donations as little as $25. Visit our websites for a list of available gifts and additional information.

Thank you for supporting your public television stations –you make a difference in what we do.

Thank you to the Ellen & Richard Berghamer Foundation for the generous support of the monthly Member Magazine.

Happy Retirement Jim!

Jim Wiener, our Chief Programming Officer who puts together so much of the programming content you find within this magazine and on this back page, is retiring June 30, 2023. Jim has been with Public Media Connect for 26 years and, before that, spent almost 17 years at WQED in Pittsburgh. In addition to programming our many channels, Jim guided CET and ThinkTV as a trusted advisor for our local projects and answers many questions from “viewers like you.” Jim also served on the Public Television Programmers Association Board, chaired the NETA Program Advisory Council, and sat on advisory panels for Children’s Television Workshop, NHK, POV, ITVS and Native American Public Telecommunications. The list of his contributions and accomplishments is innumerable and we just wanted to take a moment here to say Thank You and to wish Jim the best in his next chapter!
