George Carlin's PBS conducting connection...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 15:05:00 +0000

After hearing the news of comedian George Carlin's death yesterday, Be more Tuned In was reminded of Carlin's connection to public television from the 1990s. For two seasons, Carlin played the role of Mr. Conductor in the second and third seasons of Shining Time Station -- Thomas the Tank Engine's first appearance on PBS Kids. (Ringo Starr was Mr. Conductor in the first season.)

In the role, Carlin not only played the miniature conductor character at the station, but also narrated and voiced the stories about Thomas and his friends.

Below you will find the first part of a fun episode featuring Carlin's character titled "Mr. Conductor's Evil Twin." In the episode, Carlin gets to play a fun double role as a trouble-maker in the station. Links to the rest of the episode are below the video.

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Fri, 16 May 2008 19:34:00 +0000

This week's episode of Nature is perfect for the seafaring, marine lovers among us. At 7 p.m. Sunday, Superfish swims into the WPT airwaves on both the main WPT feed and the High Definition service.

Everyone who grew up with dreams of being a marine biologist can marvel as Rick Rosenthal follows marlins, sailfish, swordfish and other marine creatures as he explores why their numbers have dwindled during the past half-century.

Calling All Quilters: Your Quilt Could Be a Winner...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:49:00 +0000

A message from public television's Nancy Zieman

This fall, Sept. 11 through 13, WPT and Nancy Zieman Productions will present the fourth-annual Quilt Expo in the Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wis.

I encourage all quilters to take part in one of the most exciting elements of this premier quilting forum -- the 10-category juried and judged quilt contest.

Last year's contest was the highlight of the event with more than 260 spectacular quilts competing, and on exhibit for attendees to peruse and admire. Many non-quilters also visited to marvel and take in the varied beauty of these splendid works of personal expression. It was truly magnificent and inspiring.

All of the 2007 award-winning contest quilts may be viewed on the Web at wiquiltexpo.com.

The contest awards first-, second- and third-place cash prizes in each of the 10 categories. The first-place winner in each category receives $500, second-place $300 and third-place $200, plus one Best of Show winner is awarded $1,500. Each winner also receives a ribbon. In addition, quilt contest exhibit viewers may vote for their favorite quilt in the exhibit to win a special $500 Viewers' Choice award.

Quilt Expo also offers the chance for kids up to 15 years of age to win prizes for their quilts in the youth contest. Nancy's Notions sponsors the Kids' Quilt Challenge and awards $200, $100 and $50 gift certificates for the three top quilts.

Visit the Web site to download entry forms for both contests.

Other Quilt Expo highlights include educational lectures by quilting experts, Sit & Sew, and hands-on workshops where attendees can learn and practice a new skill, stage presentations with innovative tips and techniques, and a vendor mall, brimming all that's new in the quilting industry.

Please join me to learn, laugh and draw inspiration.

-Nancy Zieman

A WPT guilty pleasure...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 22:24:00 +0000

A new Wisconsin State Journal article explores the guilty pleasures of prominent Madison and Wisconsin personalities. Patty Loew, host of WPT's In Wisconsin, was one of those queried...

"For me, it's marshmallow Peeps, but only if they're stale. Every Easter, my parents would hide baskets for my brother and me. He and I would open up the box of Peeps and put them in a window sill to 'season.' There was an art to it. You couldn't let them get too stale, as in rock hard. There's a point when a properly seasoned Peep loses its softness and gets really chewy ... almost 'pull-your-teeth-out' taffylike.

"To me, a proper Peep requires the same attention to detail as an aged cheese, a fine wine or a single malt scotch. Stale Peeps have become a Loew family tradition. Even today when my brother and I get together for Easter, we'll bring each other Peeps. The full measure of our love is evidenced by the energy we invest in the weeks leading up to Easter and the 'ta-DA' moment when we present the gift and announce ... 'and they're stale!' "

In Wisconsin can be seen on WPT at 7 p.m. every Thursday.

WPT Be more Tuned In Podcast -- David Newell a.k.a. Mr. McFeely...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 03:21:00 +0000

We spoke with David Newell, better known as Mr. McFeely, the friendly "Speedy Delivery" man on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. The mp3 podcast conversation can be downloaded here and can be enjoyed on your personal computer or loaded onto your personal mp3 player for on-the-go listening. You can also subscribe to our monthly podcasts via iTunes by clicking here.

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood has been a hallmark of educational public television for 40 years. The program still airs on WPT at 12:30 p.m. weekdays. Throughout the show's ongoing run, Newell has been along for the ride. In addition to playing Mr. McFeely -- a role he continues to occupy during numerous public appearances each year -- he is also the public relations director for the show's production company, Family Communications Inc. The company has kept working toward the program's child development mission since Rogers' death in 2003.

In our interview, Newell talks about his experiences on the long-running show, the legacy of Fred Rogers and some special outreach work that is planned in celebration of what would have been Rogers' 80th birthday on March 20. On that day, Newell is inviting everyone to wear a sweater in memory of Rogers and the good work that he accomplished.

An exclusive sneak peek...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 21:28:00 +0000

During the past few years, WPT has been an innovative leader in public television as it has told the stories of Wisconsin soldiers through the groundbreaking and award-winning Wisconsin World War II Stories and Wisconsin Korean War Stories projects.

The next installment in this series will be a sweeping look at the experiences and impact of the Vietnam War on Wisconsin soldiers with Wisconsin Vietnam War Stories. The project is expected to air on WPT in 2010, but work has already begun around the state to find veterans who are willing to tell their stories.

As a special Web exclusive, Be more Tuned In is proud to present a sneak preview of two of the show's interviews. To learn more about Wisconsin Vietnam War Stories, visit WisconsinStories.org.

Wisconsin Vietnam War Stories is being produced as a partnership of the Wisconsin Historical Society and WPT, in association with the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs.

An award-winning blog...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 16:31:00 +0000

A 40-year landmark...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 21:03:00 +0000

40 years ago today -- on Feb. 18, 1968 -- the first national broadcast of Mister Rogers Neighborhood was aired on educational public television stations throughout the United States.

And, while Fred Rogers passed away in 2003, his show is still on the air on those original (and undoubtedly many other) stations. On WPT, you can find the program at 12:30 p.m. weekdays.

His influence in child development remains as a beacon of compassion, mentoring and understanding. In fact, a recent annual study from Beloit College that gauges the mindset of modern college freshmen pointed out that for today's 18-year-olds, Walter Cronkite was never the most trusted man in America. For them, Fred Rogers was, and still is.

To celebrate the anniversary, NPR's Morning Edition offered a special tribute to Rogers that can be found here.

And, digging way back into the archives, this link leads to an interview with Fred Rogers that was conducted by Be more Tuned In's blogger back in 2002.

A successful Expo...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 17:32:00 +0000

The thousands of people who attended this past weekend's 15th-annual Garden Expo in the Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison found a warm and inviting respite from the bitter cold temperatures outside. The central-garden display, thanks to the Wisconsin Landscape Contractors Association (WLCA), created a unique oasis and a showcase for the latest trends in landscaping.

Expo-goers received helpful hints, learned about new lawn, garden and landscaping technology and purchased new supplies from exhibitors, vendors, lecturers and educators. Volunteers from around the state contributed to the event's success. Many thanks to everyone involved!

To get a feel for a bit of the event's scope, Be more Tuned In captured a brisk tour through the event floor. If you were there, see if you can find yourself. If you weren't there, see a small bit of what you missed!

Mark your calendars now for next year's Garden Expo on Feb. 13, 14 and 15, 2009.

Garden Expo is presented by Wisconsin Public Television and the UW-Extension/Cooperative Extension Horticulture Team.

Snowfall marks Springtime...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 07:05:00 +0000

While the snow on the ground might not indicate it, now is the perfect time to start thinking about Spring! This weekend is Garden Expo at the Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center. To tell you more about the wonderful green oasis created in the convention hall, Be more Tuned In has a special message from Shelley Ryan, the host and producer of WPT's The Wisconsin Gardener.

Some might find it strange that as a gardener I look forward to February, but it's become one of my favorite times of the year. The second weekend of the month is when I get together with old gardening friends and meet some new ones at the Garden Expo.

Part of the fun of gardening is the planning and at Garden Expo, not only do I get to talk about gardening for a full weekend, I get to see all the latest gardening and landscaping trends in one place. It's become part on my annual planning process.

This year's Garden Expo -- in the Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison -- is Feb. 8, 9 and 10. The event will be open from 4 to 9 p.m. on Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Stop to chat with me. I'll be spending some time each day at the Wisconsin Public Television booth.

At 11 on Saturday morning, I'll be with Wisconsin Public Radio's "Garden Talk" Host Larry Meiller for the Ask the Hosts seminar. Come prepared to ask us your gardening questions. It's always a fun-filled informative hour.

My friends from UW-Extension and Wisconsin Master Gardeners will have booths where they'll answer questions, and offer tips and advice. It's also a great place to shop and get ideas with more than 400 vendor booths that feature the latest gardening tools, gadgets, lawn equipment and yard art. I always find some new things I just have to have.

The weekend offers a respite for winter-weary Midwesterners and an abundance of things to do and see. Visit wpt.org/gardenexpo on the Web to register for workshops, purchase tickets and to see the seminar and demonstration schedules.

Wisconsin, from a digital perspective...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 19:49:00 +0000

As the digital television transition approaches, there has been a lot of buzz about the end of analog broadcasting and the need for consumers to make sure they can receive digital transmission in their homes.

A new benefit to that digital transmission is the ability for stations to offer more than one channel on their digital feed. WPT has now started to use one of the multi-cast channels to launch The Wisconsin Channel.

The channel features a collection of the finest Wisconsin-created and -produced content, including the state's history, current events and other interesting music, arts and academic programs.

The channel is available over-the-air on WPT-DT 2. But, if you don't yet have digital reception at your home, you can find The Wisconsin Channel online.

To learn more about the upcoming digital transition, visit this site.

Be more civic-minded...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 08:04:00 +0000

As the 2008 election year ramps up and important national, statewide and local races approach, WPT and its partner Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) have re-vamped the WisconsinVote.org Web site.

As before, the site is the best source for election news and information. Now, it also includes exciting new features that make it easy for voters to find the information they want.

Archived audio programs from WPR's talk shows offer insight and analysis into the upcoming races. An ever-growing collection of video clips provide a balanced look at the issues impacting and shaping campaigns. And, a large selection of candidate profiles paint a biographical sketch of each candidate, allowing voters to decide which candidate most deserves their vote.

As the primaries and regular elections approach, WisconsinVote.org will continue to bring the most up-to-date political news and information anywhere to the comfort of your own home computer.

Brrrr, that's cold...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 08:37:00 +0000

Tuesday night's NOVA broadcast can help to put the cold Wisconsin winters into an interesting perspective. Airing at 7 is the first part of "Absolute Zero." The show, which will conclude next week Tuesday, explores a scientific race to reach the coldest temperatures physically possible.

People have been trying create artificial coldness since a court magician for England's King James I invented a rudimentary form of air conditioning. Now scientists aim for an even chillier goal of absolute zero -- -273 degrees Celsius.

Just how cold is that? And how does absolute zero stack up to what Wisconsin folks consider to be winter's bitterest cold? See this interactive tool to find out. And, if cold isn't quite your thing, take a look at the warmer, opposite scale.

And if the program has you intrigued to learn more about the scientists aiming to reach absolute zero, visit the project's official Web site, where you will find further information, educator's materials, and even temperature crosswords and sodoku puzzles to keep you busy.

'Tis the season...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 14:00:00 +0000

As the season progresses, WPT is the place to find a wide array of holiday programming that will entertain and delight your whole family.

Saturday evening, Lawrence Welk and Hyacinth Bucket celebrate the holidays with festive specials.

New name, new host, same great programming...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:23:00 +0000

A program that has been synonymous with public television for decades and a home for award-winning drama on WPT is receiving a new facade. Masterpiece Theatre has been the place to find the world's best actors interpreting some of the finest literature for more more than 35 years. Now, with its new season, the show has a new title, new formats and a new host. Gillian Anderson, who starred in the X-Files and in an Emmy-nominated role in last season's Masterpiece Theatre "Bleak House," will host the first segment of programs, which will now be called Masterpiece Classic. This series of programs will include the much-anticipated Complete Jane Austen series, as well as other period dramas.

In the summer, all of the great programs viewers used to see on Mystery! will now be found on Masterpiece Mystery! And, next fall, Masterpiece Contemporary will offer dramas from modern settings. Each of those two new parts of Masterpiece will have new hosts named at a later date.

The Complete Jane Austen can be seen at 8 p.m. Sundays, beginning Jan. 13. This coming Sunday and Monday at 8 p.m. on WPT, viewers can enjoy an encore of Helen Mirren's award-winning two-part detective drama, Prime Suspect VII: The Final Act.

Supporting WPT...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:16:00 +0000

As winter weather has overtaken much of Wisconsin, WPT is right in the middle of our end-of-year membership drive. And, while supporters from across the state have already called in to pledge their support for all of WPT's essential services, there is still plenty of time for you to call and let us know how important WPT is to you, your family and your friends.

There is also a chance to still catch a number of great programs coming up in the next few days.

At 7 on Wednesday night, WPT brings back a public television favorite. The Three Tenors: Carreras, Domingo and Pavarotti is the original concert program that grasped the ears and hearts of millions in the early 1990s when these three operatic legends took the stage together.

At 7 p.m., Thursday, the statewide network presents Bob Dylan: Live in Newport -- 1963-1965. This program captures the innovative folk singer both in some of his earliest performances at the festival when he was still a relative unknown and in his later genre-bending appearances with an electric guitar.

And, at 8:30 p.m., Friday viewers can get a backstage and front row pass to this past summer's biggest concert event with Great Performances: Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival Chicago. This performance features Clapton hosting an all-star cast of the greatest guitarist alive in a special Chicago concert.

To find out more about these and other exiting program opportunities, visit WPT's Web site.

Praise for her character...

noreply@blogger.com (Erik) — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 05:48:00 +0000

If you missed American Masters "Carol Burnett: A Woman of Character" on WPT a few weeks back, the network is presenting an encore presentation of the entertaining documentary at 7 Monday night.

Outlining Burnett's long and illustrious career in television, stage and film, the program drew critical acclaim from news outlets around the United States. Be more Tuned In collected some of the media coverage and offers it below:

"By the end of "Carol Burnett: A Woman of Character," you'll want to give the actress a big fat hug. Not a pity hug, just a well-earned warm embrace."
-Matthew Gilbert
The Boston Globe

"You'll be so glad we had this time together, too, to have a laugh or sing a song. Or choke up with sentiment. Or roll on the floor helplessly to convulsive comedy."
-Diane Werts
Newsday

'Pardon the imitation of the thoroughly unlikable Andy Rooney, but why aren't our joke tellers likable anymore? Margaret Cho or Sarah Silverman might make you laugh... But the comedian you'd really want at the table, still, after all these years, is Carol Burnett."
-Neil Genzlinger
The New York Times

"Burnett's character sketches could be heartbreakingly human and hilarious at once: Picture the charwoman, alone in a building after hours, doing a striptease; the heartbroken lover singing 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix,' first in a car that won't start and, ultimately, on a tricycle."
-Joanne Ostrow
Denver Post

'The film is a complete valentine to Burnett, but how could it not be? Does anyone have a negative thing to say about her? Probably not."
-David Wiegand
San Francisco Chronicle

"It illustrates the value of zigging when everyone else is zagging. It demonstrates the importance of great material, whether it's a clever song or the funniest costume in the history of television - a send-up of Scarlett O'Hara's velvet-drapery dress with the curtain rod still attached. Most of all, it suggests that making a fool of yourself, whether by singing a love song to a bureaucrat or tripping noisily over the scenery, can be a very smart career move."
-Joanne Weintraub
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
