WTVP to Broadcast World and Create TV on Separate Channels Starting in July FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lesley Matuszak WTVP President and CEO [email protected] 309-453-0405 June 1, 2020 WTVP to Broadcast World and Create TV on Separate Channels Starting in July WTVP is pleased to announce that it will begin broadcasting the popular World and Create TV content on separate channels. Effective July 1, 2020, World will broadcast 24/7 at 47.3 and Create TV will broadcast at 47.4. In the past, abbreviated content from both channels was broadcast at 47.3. The flagship WTVP HD (47.1) and PBS Kids (47.2) channels will not be affected by this move. “We are excited for all of our WTVP viewers, but especially those who value the unique lifestyle and news offerings on Create TV and World,” said WTVP’s President and CEO, Lesley Matuszak. “Viewers and members told us they wanted access to the full slate of Create TV and World programs. We have been able to deliver with technology upgrades made possible by gifts from major donors.” A gift to WTVP from local philanthropists Sid and Flo Banwart was pivotal in purchasing the technology to make the additional channels possible. Beginning in July, Create TV and World programming will double. Instead of one channel airing only half of the available daily programming (Create TV in the morning, World in the evening), each will have its own 24/7 home. That means twice the home improvement, gardening, cooking and travel shows of Create TV, and twice the news, documentaries, business, history and in-depth reporting of World. In addition to the overall expansion of programming, the move delivers a wealth of educational content for young people and adults. Specifically, World offers a daily, five-hour At Home Learning block featuring the best documentaries tied to online PBS LearningMedia resources. Viewers who receive the WTVP signal over the air you will need to “rescan” their television or converter control box to pick up the new 47.4 signal. It only takes a few minutes. Using the TV remote, just choose SCAN or AUTOTUNE from the TV or converter box control menu. Those who receive the stations on cable do not have rescan, but should check with the cable provider to get the channel number assignment. Technology upgrades allow WTVP to broadcast up to five digital signals from its transmitter in East Peoria. In conjunction with area school districts, WTVP is planning for WTVP REMOTE, a fifth channel dedicated solely to a remote learning. This venture will be funded by educational entities and will be accessible to all students throughout the station’s 20-county broadcast area.

    VEGAS PBS ANNUAL PROGRAMMING PRODUCTION PLAN NETWORK AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS SCHOOL CABLE AND EBS CHANNEL RETRANSMISSION CONSENTS AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PROVIDER AUTHORIZATIONS 2019-2020 Strategic Imperatives: Clarity and Focus (SI-4) Focus Goals: Value/Return on Investment (FA-5) District Regulations 3312 and 2310 require Board approval for all purchases over $50,000.00 and $25,000.00, respectively. To accomplish channel scheduling and planned local productions, Vegas PBS contracts with network program providers and independent producers to accomplish a licensee-approved community service programming and a local production plan. Adoption of this plan grants Vegas PBS authority to purchase programming and production resources for those projects. The plan may be amended by Board action through the year if grant funds are secured for significant local program productions. Specific independent contractors are hired throughout the year following standard purchase order issuance by the Purchasing Department. The Purchasing Department has reviewed the request for purchase and has determined that contracting for these services may be exempted from the competitive bidding process in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 332. Vegas PBS has presented an annual production plan to the Board of School Trustees since 1996. For this item, board members act in their capacity as Federal Communication Commission (FCC) approved television licensees responsible for serving viewers in the station’s multi-state and four county service region. The programming and production plan authorizes national network programming affiliation agreements for KLVX-DT Channel 10’s three over the air channels and a possible fourth channel, plus six over the air Educational Broadband Service (EBS) channels serving school sites, three noncommercial educational cable channels, and 29 Clark County School District (CCSD) Classroom Cable channels.

  • This Summer, American Public Television and WORLD Channel Transport Audiences to an African National Park That Is Saving Endange
    This Summer, American Public Television and WORLD Channel Transport Audiences to an African National Park that is Saving Endangered Animals while Lifting Communities out of Poverty “Our Gorongosa” shares the stories of the women who are transforming conservation and development in Gorongosa National Park and providing the next generation of girls with opportunities for empowered futures Chevy Chase, MD (July 26, 2021) – “Our Gorongosa,” the inspirational film by Tangled Bank Studios and Gorongosa Media is debuting on public television stations across the country this summer and nationally on WORLD Channel, produced by GBH in partnership with the WNET Group in New York and distributed by American Public Television. Close to 90% of U.S. households will now be able to see the film on their local public television station (check local listings for eXact dates and airtimes). “Our Gorongosa” features Dominique Gonçalves, a vibrant Mozambican ecologist who runs the Gorongosa elephant ecology project as she shares the myriad ways Gorongosa is redefining the identity and purpose of an African national park. From her own work mitigating human/elephant conflict; to community clubs and school programs that empower girls to avoid teen marriage and pregnancy; to health clinics and nutrition training for eXpectant mothers and families; Dominique transforms viewers’ understanding of what a national park can be. The commitment of the remarkable women who run these programs—and the resilience of the mothers and girls who are benefiting from them—tell an inspiring story of strength and hope. “Our Gorongosa” has captivated film festival audiences since its debut at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture and its festival premiere in 2019 at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival.

Introduction Off-air television stations broadcast signals from terrestrially-based facilities directly to television receivers. Comsearch identified those off-air stations whose service could potentially be affected by the proposed Glacier Sands Wind Project in Mason County, Illinois. Comsearch then examined the coverage of the stations and the communities in the area that could potentially have degraded television reception due to the location of the proposed wind turbines. 2. Summary of Results The proposed wind energy project area and local communities are depicted in Figure 1, below.

  • “The History of White People in America” This July
    WORLD CHANNEL AND PBS’s INDEPENDENT LENS PRESENT “THE HISTORY OF WHITE PEOPLE IN AMERICA” THIS JULY Digital animated series explores the history of race in America and its role in shaping modern society Premieres July 6 on WORLD’s YouTube Channel BOSTON (June 30, 2020) — As Americans prepare to celebrate the nation’s birth this Independence Day in the midst of historic uproar about racial disparities and injustices, WORLD Channel — the public media channel that helps us understand conflicts, movements and cultures that may be distinct from our own — presents a new animated musical series, The History of White People in America. In partnership with WORLD Channel and PBS’s Independent Lens, The History of White People in America looks at the history of race in the United States, in particular how the crafting of the idea of the White race — of whiteness — helped shape the nation’s history, designating other groups for subjugation and having wide-ranging ramifications on social class and life experience that exist to this day. The series of digital short films will premiere on Monday, July 6, at 3 p.m. ET on WORLD’s YouTube channel. Comprised of three short episodes with musical/spoken word narration and animated dramatizations, The History of White People in America takes the audience on a journey through American history, starting in the 17th century. The story begins in Jamestown, Virginia, where an uprising of poor indentured Europeans and enslaved Africans against rich landowners leads to new laws designed to undermine unity between the poor of all backgrounds, and how “skin became color, color became race and race became power.” Each episode explores a critical juncture in race in the United States, from the Virginia Slave Codes which made marriage between Whites and non-Whites illegal to the complicated truths of Sally Hemmings, who was both enslaved by, and mothered the children of, American forefather Thomas Jefferson.
