Michiana’s bi-monthly Guide to WNIT Public Television Pl a nnerIssue No. 6 November – December 2020
BROADWAY’S BEST AMAZING NIGHTS 4 OF BROADWAY STARTS FRI NOV 6 9/8c A Message from Greg Giczi President and GM, WNIT Public Television Board of Directors Chairman Hello my favorite PBS Michiana Viewer! Susan Ohmer, Ph.D. Vice Chairs I am looking forward to this holiday season, starting with Halloween. I have a virus-protective Robert G. Douglass special-theme mask to wear around our office for each holiday. Yes, we’ll all be celebrating a little James Hillman differently because of the COVID-19 virus, but maybe it will make our celebrations with fewer President and people more meaningful. General Manager Inside this edition of your WNIT magazine, we’ve tried to highlight the best of the best, Greg Giczi Planner but there are several hidden gems waiting for you to discover. Here are some that have caught my Treasurer eye… William J. Schmuhl, Jr. Secretary November is the month for political intrigue. On Sunday, November 1st, at 9pm, we start with Hayley G. Boling the new Masterpiece series “Roadkill.” The plotline has politician Peter Laurence pursuing his own Directors agenda while his opponents try to bring about his ruin. Does this sound familiar? Then, that Jim Arnold following Tuesday, we’ll go back to real-life political intrigue and PBS NewsHour’s election night Tania Bengtsson coverage. That will start at 6pm and conclude at 11pm. I suspect there will be drama for the next Marvin Curtis several days. Joel D. Duthie Rebecca Espinoza-Kubacki Over the last few years, PBS Michiana has created a wonderful series of stories about some of Mary Horan our region’s most impactful citizens, Legends of Michiana. We’re going to encore a few of these Katherine Humphreys documentaries starting Thursday, November 5th at 10pm right up to Thursday, December 10th Brian Inniger when we premiere the newest in the series, Legends of Michiana: The Martin Family. This is Paul Jordan the multi-generational story of the community-minded family which built Elkhart’s NIBCO Trevor Kubatzke (Northern Indiana Brass Company) into a national concern without losing their local roots. John Lloyd Christine M. Maziar “Sanditon” returns to Masterpiece starting Sunday, December 13th. A Call the Midwife holiday Mary Louise Miller special will be presented on Christmas Night at 9pm and an American Masters episode featuring Pat Moody the story of “Little House on the Prairie” author, Laura Ingalls Wilder, will premiere on Tuesday, Mike Pound December 29th at 8pm. Rebecca Stoltzfus, Ph.D. James M. Summers WNIT will feature loads of holiday music programs and other holiday specials on all three Kimberley Bow Sundy WNIT channels. Your Planner magazine is your best guide. Michael Wargo Marcus Winchester Thank you for being a WNIT viewer and financial supporter. It costs about $10,000 per day to Linda Yoder operate PBS Michiana. We’re anxious to expand our ability to provide at-home learning services and are building a fund to make these upgrades. This may be a project of interest to you. Give me Charter Directors a call and let me share our vision. Maybe this is a good way to direct funds from your IRA? Arthur J. Decio Jerry Hammes Happy holidays to you! May you be blessed with good health, lots of smiles, and happy times. Ernestine M. Raclin Jane Warner* Dar Wiekamp* Best wishes, Honorary Life Director Carmi Murphy *Deceased Charter Director Greg Giczi President & General Manager

Hillman July 28, 1929 - September 10, 2020
WNIT and the community lost a dear friend with the passing of Anne S. Hillman on September 10. A passionate and dedicated supporter of our community throughout her life, Anne served on the board of directors for numerous non- profits and 1st Source Bank. She was a long-time parishioner and supporter of Grace United Methodist Church, where she greatly enjoyed teaching Sunday school. Anne and the entire Hillman family have been long-time supporters of WNIT and were among the leaders in helping to launch the PBS KIDS 24/7 Channel on WNIT in 2019. WNIT offers our condolences to WNIT Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors James Hillman, his wife Jill and the entire Hillman family. WNIT also would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and admiration to Anne Hillman on a life well-lived from a community that greatly benefited from her service and leadership.
