WNIT’s Local Shows Giving Viewers More WNIT executive producer/production manager, Duilio Mariola, is giving WNIT’s local shows a different look and feel this year. “I wanted to take our local programs to the next level by breaking shows up into different segments,” Mariola said.

Experience Michiana was the first local program to undergo changes. Rick Hummer and Kelly Morgan began co-hosting the series in January – a change from the previous single host setup. Experience Michiana was the only local show that was running through multiple topics, but it had an issue of its own: it was studio-based. Experience Michiana has now gone back out on the road so people can truly experience the Michiana area. “If we can call them to action to become part of the whole Michiana area, that’s what it’s all about,” Mariola said. “The more they know, the more they become involved. If they don’t know what’s going on, they’re not going to become involved.”

Economic Outlook has also undergone a slight makeover. Viewers can now learn about two different topics during each weekly segment. If they’re still craving more, they can visit the Economic Outlook page on wnit.org for an extended discussion. These extended discussions are promoted on the air and offered as a stand-alone component online. Host Phil D’Amico also delivers a weekly blog to the website and other social media outlets immediately after taping with his thoughts on the discussion and its impact on the community.

Experience Michiana airs Fridays at 5:30pm, 7pm on 34.1 and Friday at 8pm on 34.2. Economic Outlook airs Tuesdays at 7pm, Sundays at 12:30pm on 34.1 and Wednesdays at 8pm on 34.2.
