As for our 50th anniversary, we’re proud of the way WXXI has become an essential part of the Rochester community. We hope that the “founding fathers” and “founding mothers” of the station would share our pride in the way WXXI works to make this a better place for all of us.

I still marvel at the original Television Program Log on the wall outside Studio A (see photo to left). The first night included Julia Child making chocolate mousse, a performance of “The Mikado,” and a membership message. Some things never change!

We’ll be sharing more news about our significant anniversary in the weeks and months to come. In the meantime, watch and listen for election coverage from PBS, NPR and WXXI. And if you haven’t heard yet, Great Performances will bring us Hamilton’s America in October. The feature film documentary brings history to life through the contemporary perspective of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s revolutionary hip-hop musical, Hamilton. So, mark your calendars for Friday, October 21, 9-10:30 p.m.

There’s a lot to celebrate at WXXI, from a very special anniversary to the inside story of one of the most popular musicals of our time. Thanks for helping to make it happen, through your support for WXXI!

Best regards,
