StatiON SIGNALS april2009 apriaprill2009 SSTATIONtatiON S SIGNALSIGNALS Dear Friend, April marks the beginning of spring and the scheduled end of the New York State budget process. Both could benefit from more sunshine. With no warning and no explanation, the Governor’s proposed 50% reduction in State operating aid for public broadcasting is a serious and unprecedented blow (and out of line with other reductions in education). While our local legislative delegation has been extremely supportive of our efforts to restore at least part of the cut, one thing is certain – we will have to absorb a serious reduction in support for educational programs and services in the coming year. This makes your support – membership, program underwriting, production funding, and planned gifts – more important than ever (individual giving, at more than $3 million a year, remains our largest source of revenue). In these difficult economic times you have a right to ask if your support is being used wisely and if it’s making a difference. While budgets may be decided by “three men in a room” in Albany, WXXI’s Karen DeWitt is there watching every step of the process. Her daily reports on AM 1370 and WRUR-FM keep you informed about the ways your tax dollars, along with the State’s portion of federal stimulus money, are being spent. Karen is also a regular contributor to New York Now on WXXI-TV. I hope you agree that in-depth reporting from the State Capital is a good investment – along with our dues to NPR for award-winning coverage of national and international events on the radio. I trust you agree that our dues to PBS, which help support The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Frontline, Nova, Washington Week and other public affairs programming are dollars well invested. Additionally, Need to Know, our weekly television public affairs program, brings you in-depth coverage on local issues, with a special focus on the economy in recent months. How do others view our program investments? WXXI just received two Bronze Telly Awards recognizing episodes of our national health series, Second Opinion. This program, a partnership with the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), is making a difference in healthcare here in the Rochester area and throughout the nation. One example – our new Caregiver’s Diary and Resource Guide helps individuals manage their loved ones’ healthcare. This is part of the Second Opinion for Caregivers initiative, supported by a grant from the Jacob and Valeria Langeloth Foundation. The initiative is designed to empower the more than 50 million Americans caring for a family member, friend, or loved one. Thirty thousand guides will be distributed to PBS stations across the country to share with their communities. Recently, when an independent producer decided to feature our Rochester Red Wings baseball team in a 13-part series, he asked WXXI to help and present the show nationally. When Chicago’s public television station, WYCC, put a focus on jazz in March they selected WXXI’s productions from the Rochester International Jazz Festival as their featured programming. When almost any arts and cultural organization or educational institution in town is looking for a media partner, they turn to WXXI first – because we believe that when we help another organization be more successful, it benefits all of us. If you made a gift during our recent television “pledge drive” or clicked on www.savenypbs.org to make your voice heard in Albany, thank you! Your financial support and your advocacy make a real difference. Our “pledge” back to you is that we’ll continue to work hard to merit your trust, and even in the most difficult of times, stay true to the mission of public broadcasting. And while we can’t control the weather, our reporters in Washington, Albany and right here at home will do their best to shed light on the stories that matter to you – every day!

Their mission? To go deeper into the animal world than ever thought possible. From the hot and humid tropics to the freezing poles, the sequel to 2017’s popular Nature: Spy in the Wild miniseries places even more spy creatures in the middle of some of nature’s greatest events. Season 38 finale, Nature: Spy in the Wild 2, premieres nationwide Wednesdays, April 29 – May 20 at 8 p.m. on PBS (check local listings), pbs.org/spyinthewild and the PBS Video app. John Downer Productions created more than 50 realistic animatronic spy creatures for the new miniseries, including a gorilla, Komodo dragon, hummingbird, King penguin, Pygmy elephant, koala, quokka, seal and polar bear. Each spy creature looks like the animals they film and behaves like them too. Accepted by animal families, these robotic lookalikes can not only film from an intimate perspective but also interact with the animals, gaining revelatory insights into their worlds as they feed, breed and fight. The spy cams even go beyond the animal kingdom, using innovative camera technology that allows a spy turtle to lay robot eggs, a spy squirrel to gather robot nuts, monkeys to play with a spy snowball and more.

  • Enid Blyton Books Part 2
    Enid Blyton Books Part 2. Stories for younger children By Zita Thornton Enid Blyton’s writing career began with poetry, gradually moving into short stories, mainly published in magazines, whilst she continued the day job as a teacher of young children. It is, therefore, no surprise that her first stories were tales of fairies and fantasy that would be appre- ciated by her young charges. However, one of her first full length books, published in 1924, was an account of the zoo and its inhabitants, who became models for some of her later fictional creatures. In this way, Blyton constantly drew on earlier ideas and developed them in later stories. So ‘The Enchanted Wood’ which first appeared in ‘The Yellow Fairy Book’later became central to ‘A Faraway Tree Adventure’ and Toyland, home of Noddy, appeared first in ‘The Enid Blyton Book of Brownies’. Blyton was a prolific and varied writer publishing around 15 books a year as well as contributing to magazines, annuals and anthologies. She wrote books about mischievous animals, both those on the farm and those in the circus. Her output included nature books for ‘Children of Cherry Tree Farm’ this edition young children as well as fictional stories. It is said that it took her less than a week to finish published by Dean & Son 1972. This was the writing one book. Moreover, her stories also appeared under various pseudonyms in annuals. In first in a series of books set on farms. First the 1920s and 30s, Blyton wrote as Audrey Saint Lo as well as Christopher and Becky Kent, and published in 1940, the original edition is later, in 1943, published a novel ‘The Adventures Of Scamp’ using the name Mary Pollock.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

Mrs. Goose introduces Abby to the class and they make her feel at home by singing her the "Welcome Song". Next it's time for Show and Tell. It is Abby's turn, but she didn't know that she was supposed to bring something to share. Abby decides to use her magic wand to leave school and ask Elmo for help. Elmo thinks that the class would love to see her wand. As he says this, he accidentally taps his head with her wand and he disappears, suddenly appearing at Abby's school. Now that Elmo is at her school, Abby thinks that it would be more fun to introduce Elmo to the class during Show and Tell. Then she can tell everyone what a good friend he is. Mrs. Goose allows Elmo to be a guest for the day and the class sings him the "Welcome Song." Abby is having a great first day of school and she is so happy to be learning so many new things.
