Welcome from Debbie Hamlett

This month, we celebrate the inspiring power of individuals to spark change. Whether through a simple act of kindness like a smile or holding the door open. Or by fostering a stronger sense of community spirit by getting to know your neighbors. Every person has the ability to make a meaningful difference, a core principle we deeply cherish.

Our programs and events beautifully reflect this ethos: CALL THE MIDWIFE HOLIDAY SPECIAL highlights compassion in action, while NATURE: SANTA’S WILD HOME and NOVA POLAR EXTREMES showcase resilience in the Arctic. ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL celebrates neighborly goodness, and Rick Steves reminds us of our interconnected humanity.

GREGORIAN: PURE CHANTS LIVE IN PRAGUE

A concert special featuring the iconic choir performing traditional songs as well as "pure" acoustic versions of fan favorites over the years, including "In Trutina" and "O Fortuna" from Carl Orff's opera Carmina Burana, "Ode to Joy," beautiful arrangements of their versions of Coldplay's "Fix You", The Beatles' "In My Life", Simon & Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence", and Enigma's "Sadeness Pt. I", plus many more! Blending powerful music with soul-stirring performances, this must-see emotional experience is sure to leave a lasting impression.

12/1, 7PM 10.1

December marks our most significant fundraising period, featuring special programs designed specifically to attract new members and celebrate beloved content. Enjoy a marathon of PRIDE & PREJUDICE, AMERICA’S HOME

COOKING: AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 RECIPES, ANDRE RIEU: THE POWER OF LOVE, and legendary birthday tributes to Willie Nelson at 90 and Dick Van Dyke at 100 years old just to name a few.

As the year concludes, Milwaukee PBS faces a critical challenge: overcoming a $2.1 million dollar shortfall in the current fiscal year. We firmly believe in the collective power of our community—you, your friends, and your neighbors—to come together and sustain local stories and documentaries, essential educational resources for children, and powerful national programs that define Milwaukee PBS.

Every person and every gift truly makes a difference. You are the reason our community has a voice, our children have opportunities to learn, and our shared stories continue to inspire. Please help ensure Milwaukee PBS remains strong for generations to come.

With gratitude,

Debbie Hamlett Vice President and General Manager

On the LOCAL SCENE

ADELANTE: Double Emmy Winners

Milwaukee PBS celebrates two major wins at the 67th Annual NATAS Chicago Emmy Awards for Adelante productions. Show team members, led by Producer and Host Patricia Gómez: Editor Yvonne Sanchez, Videographers Erica Drehfal, Jason Piekarz, and Brian Ewig and Audio Engineer Grant Martin, were honored with the awards.

ROOTS AND LEGACY: JESUS SALAS: This Emmy-winning documentary offers a compelling historical account of the Latino migrant farmworkers’ struggle for rights in the 1960s. It details how their unified movement built a vital legacy in Wisconsin, leading to the creation of UMOS and the Mexican Fiesta foundation.

CELEBRATING DAY OF THE DEAD: Also an Emmy winner, this special is a vibrant cultural exploration of the cherished Mexican tradition. It traces the custom's Aztec origins as a deeply meaningful celebration of life and memory, showcasing this UNESCO-recognized cultural fusion as it's embraced locally. Both programs highlight the team's commitment to outstanding, culturally relevant storytelling.

NEW SEASON

Letters to Santa

AsLETTERS TO SANTA enters its 52nd season this year, student producers take you on a magical journey that begins with Lucy, a sweet grandma reminiscing about her childhood, and a simple Christmas wish to Santa that turns her world upside down— she wakes up as a kid again! Join her on a whirlwind of adventures: from enjoying our silly baking elves Wonder, Fitzpiddle, and Cookie whipping up magical treats, to reliving cherished family traditions, to Santa bringing cheer to children all over by reading their letters! Through laughter, wonder, and heart, this three-part holiday story celebrates the magic of family, the beauty of tradition, and the timeless joy of rediscovering Christmas at any age. 12/21 at 9AM, 9:30AM and 10AM 12/23, 12/24, and 12/25 at 6PM all on Channel 36.1

Milwaukee PBS Celebrates Jane Austen’s 250th Birthday with Timeless Classics and Tea

ThisDecember marks a remarkable milestone in the literary world — the 250th birthday of one of England’s most enduring authors, Jane Austen, born on December 16, 1775. To honor her legacy, Milwaukee PBS is celebrating this month with two beloved BBC adaptations of her most cherished novels — PRIDE AND PREJUDICE and EMMA — and a special Jane Austen High Tea event on Saturday, December 13 at The Woman’s Club of Wisconsin.

Austen’s novels have long captivated audiences with their sparkling dialogue, keen social observation, and tales of love and manners among England’s landed gentry. Milwaukee PBS invites viewers to revisit two iconic adaptations that bring her world vividly to life.

First, the 1995 BBC adaptation of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, starring Colin Firth as the brooding Mr. Darcy and Jennifer Ehle as the spirited Elizabeth Bennet, remains a definitive favorite.

Then, step into the refined charm of Highbury with the 2009 BBC miniseries EMMA, starring Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller. This four-part drama beautifully explores the complexities of matchmaking, friendship, and selfdiscovery.

Beyond the screen, Milwaukee PBS invites Austen enthusiasts to a High Tea Celebration. Guests can enjoy tea, treats, and conversation while envisioning the elegance of Regency England.

The afternoon will feature a presentation by Dr. David Southward, Associate Teaching Professor, UWM Honors College, who will share commentary on Austen’s writings and her fascination with embarrassment as a comic device and human foible.

Milwaukee PBS Jane Austen 250th Celebration Schedule:

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE:

12/7: 5:00PM CH10 12/8 – 12/10: 8:00PM CH36

EMMA: 12/11: 8:00PM CH36 12/14: 3:00PM CH10

Austen After All: 250 Years of Wit, Wisdom and Love

Afternoon Tea & Presentation

Date: Saturday, December 13

Time: 2:00PM | Doors open at 1:30PM

Location: Woman’s Club of Wisconsin Ballroom, 2nd Floor 813 East Kilbourn Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53202

Meaningful Holiday Traditions for Kids

If you tend to equate the holidays with cursing traffic at the mall, why not take a new approach this year? Your children will appreciate them more than any stocking stuffer. Best of all: most of them are free.

1

Write an annual letter to your child.

On my preschool-aged son's first birthday, I started a tradition of writing him a yearly letter filled with my observations as his mom. I've sealed my son's letters and stored them in a keepsake box until he's old enough to read and enjoy them.

2

Do a Secret Santa gift exchange for charity.

This year, when you draw names to determine who's buying for whom, turn the tables. Instead of buying a present, make a donation or spend time volunteering for a charity of the giftee’s choice.

Make a family walk an annual event. Walking is a great way to spend time with each other whether it's just your family or visiting inlaws too. It can help you let off steam, and work off those extra gingerbread cookies! Set aside time — even if it’s 30 minutes — to get outside and stretch your legs with the family.

DONOR SPOTLIGHT: Alice Kehoe

Quality family time and a life of learning is why member loves Milwaukee PBS

Alice B. Kehoe (Professor of Anthropology, emeritus, Marquette University).

Iam an anthropological archaeologist, which means I am interested in everything about human history and geography, and people and communities. During the many years I taught Anthropology at Marquette University, and raised a family of three kids with my husband. PBS programs such as NOVA were our regular weekly TV watching, SESAME STREET for my youngest, and PBS old movies our family entertainment. All five of us sitting on the old couch in the sunroom before the TV, family together. My favorites now, with husband gone and kids becoming middle-aged men, are; FINDING YOUR ROOTS, a masterpiece of combatting racism and totally fascinating revelations on immigrations and American history; and MASTERPIECE for pure entertainment for intelligent people. Milwaukee PBS is the only trustworthy and serious TV for our community. And, PBS as a whole supports so many valuable and enjoyable programs, so we must support it to benefit our Milwaukee PBS.

The rise in hospital births, and wider changes in the NHS, have clipped their wings. But their mission to the Far East is a chance to take flight and work out what really matters. For her part, Sister Julienne suddenly finds herself excited about the Order’s future. After years of battling change, she decides to embrace it and see what love can do.
