PTV would like to extend to you our very best wishes for a festive, happy and healthy holiday season! We are happy and thankful for the many underwriters in our community who have helped support our programming, making it possible for you to continue to see informative, engaging, and entertaining programs on MPTV. This month we are pleased and excited to welcome Sendik’s Food Markets as our newest underwriting sponsor. Sendik’s will be one of two sponsors of the hugely popular and highly regarded drama, Downton Abbey on Masterpiece , as it premieres its finale sixth season beginning Sunday, January 3rd, 2016 at 8 p.m. on Channel 10.

At the turn of the 20th century, the Balistreri Family of Santa Elia, Sicily immigrated to the U.S. and settled in Milwaukee. Upon his arrival, Grandpa Tom Balistreri, later joined by his sons Ted and Tom Jr., began peddling quality fruits and vegetables by horse drawn wagon to customers on the northeast side of Milwaukee. In 2001, Grandpa Balistreri’s grandchildren, Ted, Patrick, Nick, and Margaret purchased their uncle’s share of the business. They have expanded the business and currently own and operate 12 Sendik’s stores in the Greater Milwaukee area. Sendik’s is a trusted local grocer in the Greater Milwaukee metropolitan area, garnering praise for its outstanding selections of meats, vegetables, fruits, deli items, and numerous other groceries. As the recipient of the 2015 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Top Choice Award and named a “Top Workplace in southeastern Wisconsin”, for the 4th consecutive year, the Sendik’s name is synonymous with quality.

“Sendik's has been proudly serving the Milwaukee community for 90 years, which includes supporting those community efforts that are important to our guests," said Nick Bandoch, Sendik's communications director. "We're happy to help bring engaging programs like Masterpiece’s Downton Abbey to our friends and neighbors here in Milwaukee."

MPTV is most appreciative of Sendik’s generous underwriting support and commitment. Masterpiece’s Downton Abbey has been a favorite of our viewers. Many thousands of people, in households across southeastern Wisconsin, will be sitting in front of their t.v.’s eagerly awaiting the start of Downton Abbey on Masterpiece finale season.

Find out more about how your organization can become an underwriter and be seen on MPTV. Contact Maureen Bradley at: bradley1@matc.edu or (414) 297-8008.

t’s been another dynamic and exciting year for Milwaukee Public Television, thanks to you! While we have a great, diverse slate of programming and community events planned for this month, we look back fondly at the station’s achievements and are excited about what 2016 will bring.

Most notably, the staff and community are preparing for a significant change in leadership from this year to next.

At the writing of this letter, we are bidding farewell to Ellis Bromberg, MPTV General Manager since 2000. When thinking back on his time at the station, Ellis notes “We've produced some wonderful programming, we've partnered with community organizations and schools and agencies and businesses on projects that have helped change individuals' lives -- and the community. MPTV has won many awards for the quality of its work during my tenure here, and we've set new fundraising records. I am so proud of those things, and honored to have worked with the professionals and volunteers and students here at MPTV and our licensee, Milwaukee Area Technical College.” We wish Ellis and his wife, Mel, the best as they embark on new adventures in retirement.

This month, Bohdan Zachary will begin his tenure as General Manager for Milwaukee Public Television. Zachary was with KCETLink, based in Burbank, Calif., since 1997 and served as the Senior Vice President of Broadcasting, Programming and Syndication. KCET is the most-watched independent public television station in southern California and the second most-watched independent public television station in the nation.

"Bohdan has articulated a dynamic vision for Milwaukee Public Television and I look forward to welcoming him to Milwaukee and MATC later this month," said MATC President Dr. Vicki J. Martin. "I am confident that Bohdan

10&36 DAYTIME

16-17

will build on MPTV's 58-year legacy of providing excellent local, regional and national programming and services that improve the quality of life in southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois."

Prior to KCETLink, Zachary held positions of Director/Producer and Content Producer for E! Entertainment Television and Content Producer at Interactive Network. Prior to that, he founded North South Films in California and also has extensive experience as an executive producer.

"I am honored to join MPTV as its new general manager," said Zachary. "With its vibrant history as a community leader, MPTV will build on its successes as well as its mission to inspire, entertain and educate viewers. I foresee an expansion of MPTV's local productions to further reflect the voices, faces and needs of the communities it serves."

Thank you for your continued support of MPTV during 2015. We look forward to embarking on several opportunities in the new year, and to introducing Bohdan Zachary to our exciting community of public television supporters.

Andrea Bocelli: Cinema

Featuring Great Songs from the Silver Screen - Unspools on Great Performances Thursday, December 10th at 8 p.m. on Channel 36 David Foster and Nicole Scherzinger, as well as film stars John Travolta, Ali McGraw, Ryan O’Neal, & Andy Garcia join the acclaimed tenor at Hollywood’s Dolby Theater

T

he international superstar tenor lends his unique voice to a lush symphonic salute to the movies, Andrea Bocelli: Cinema, celebrating some of the greatest celluloid songs and scores of all time written by a varied range of Italian and Hollywood composers. The concert special also reunites Bocelli with legendary music producer David Foster, whose first collaboration with the tenor was Foster’s own Academy Award-nominated song “The Prayer,” a duet with Celine Dion in 1999.

The songs in this new concert – many from Oscar-winning scores – are also featured on Bocelli’s new album Cinema which was released globally on October 23 on Sugar Music/Universal Music Group and Verve Music Group in the USA. These cinematic songs are etched in the culture and hearts of several generations including epic theme songs featured in films such as “Doctor Zhivago,” “Love Story,” “The Godfather,” “Life is Beautiful,” “Il Postino,” “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and many more, as well as popular songs from stage musicals, immortalized by their film versions, such as “West Side Story” and “Evita.” As a special bonus, there’s a brand new song fashioned from the popular “Gladiator” score.

Hollywood luminaries John Travolta, Ryan O’Neal, Ali McGraw, and Andy Garcia join Bocelli onstage to speak about the films from which the songs derive.

Bocelli has said he believes film music is “an exceptional artistic treasure trove.” His legendary voice, backed by fresh arrangements, brings new life to some of the greatest musical masterpieces for film by legendary composers from Leonard Bernstein to Ennio Morricone.

4

Bocelli sings in five different languages (Italian, French, Spanish, English and Sicilian) and partners with Nicole Scherzinger on the epic musical anthem “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” from “Evita.”

The concert was arranged for Bocelli’s extraordinary voice by musical director David Foster. Bocelli’s prior Great Performances specials have consistently been some of PBS’s most popular concert performances, including Andrea Bocelli Live in Central Park and Andrea Bocelli: Love in Portofino.

With over 80 million albums sold worldwide, the acclaimed singer has been honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His Central Park concert in 2011 joined the roster of the park’s legendary live performances. And he has the honor of performing live in front of three United States presidents, three popes, and royal families all over the world.

CELEBRATING NOSTRA AETATE New Holiday Special Premieres on December 28th at 9p.m. on MPTV 10.

50 years ago, the Catholic Church’s Second Vatican Council issued Nostra Aetate, (Latin for “In Our Time”) a declaration of the Catholic Church’s relation with other denominations, including its relationship with the Jewish faith. It changed the course of Catholic- Jewish relations for generations to come.

CELEBRATING NOSTRA AETATE features a musical celebration of Nostra Aetate held on December 5th at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist and presided by the Most Reverend Jerome Listecki, Archbishop of Milwaukee and Rabbi Noah Chertkoff of Milwaukee’s Congregation Shalom.

The celebration features the Jewish Community Chorale along with the Archdiocesan Choir, cantors and other musical leaders from both faith traditions. The planned repertoire will include psalms, the “Hallelujah Chorus” from the “Messiah”, and Max Janowski’s “Sim Shalom”.

The program also includes several features produced by host Mark Siegrist which highlight the Nostra Aetate document and revisit its significance 50 years later.

CELEBRATING NOSTRA AETATE Premieres on Monday, December 28th at 9:00 p.m. on MPTV 10, and will be re-broadcast on MPTV 36 on Tuesday, December 29th at 8:00 p.m.
