Detroit Public Television

in partnership with you To Our Members,

At Detroit Public Television, we often use phrases such as “understanding the issues,” “meaningful change” and “collective impact.” It’s because we believe that public media’s proper role is to be a neutral communication partner helping people and organizations achieve their goals. Our emphasis is on engaging our community and region to understand – and solve – important issues. If we can showcase Detroit’s success stories to a national audience, that’s even better.

In these pages, you’ll read about our coverage of The Great Lakes Water and Mackinac Policy Conferences which reached far greater audiences beyond those in attendance. You’ll read about Arab American Stories, produced here and aired nationally to spotlight real people leading real lives. You’ll also see how public media helps artists, educators and people of all ages.

Sometimes, though, we just want to be entertained. From Downton Abbey to our high-spirited production of Il Volo Takes Flight at the Detroit Opera House, to our live web and radio broadcasts of Detroit Symphony Orchestra concerts, we consistently give you the best seat in the house – and we do all of this in partnership with you. We’re grateful for the trust you place in Detroit Public Television and promise to work even harder to earn your continued support. Together, we can help others – especially our youngest viewers – discover the world, understand issues, engage in critical collective impact thinking, and thrive in this wonderful enterprise of lifelong learning. That, truly, demonstrates “collective impact.”

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Melonie Colaianne Rich Homberg Chair, Board of Trustees President and CEO A.

Dear Commissioner Genachowski, I would like to let the FCC know of my hearty support of WRCJ, the classical and jazz music station in Detroit. I learned on the radio that they are up for their license renewal this fall, so I would like to make sure that you know how very much they are appreciated and needed in the Detroit metropolitan area. Looking at your website, I only saw where to register a com- plaint. This letter is just the opposite. WRCJ’s programming is unique in our area. It is the only place where I can hear classical music in the morning hours as I get up and get ready for the day. I am so proud of this station and certainly hope that you will continue its license. Respectfully, - Eleanor Linn, Ann Arbor MI

I just want to let you know how much I enjoy volunteering for Channel 56. It’s a lot of fun and fellowship and we are helping the organization raise money. The DPTV staff make us feel welcome, and I have met a lot of interesting, committed volunteers who also enjoy [DPTV]. It’s an hour’s ride each way from home to the studio but I don’t mind. Have a great fall and I will see you for the winter pledge drive! Best regards, - Ken Isherwood
