Stay Tuned. Stay Connected.
Annual Report 2006
Dear Members,
“How does public broadcasting
remain relevant in 2007 and beyond?
Maybe by bringing back that sense
of community, by bringing us together.
If we are going to survive in this
digital era, we cannot be static, passive,
and rigid. We must become interactive,
portable, and experiential.”
As I reflect on the past year, I see snapshots of faces—all ages, colors, and creeds—people
who experienced our programming in new ways. In 2006, WTTW11 and 98.7WFMT devoted more
time and resources than ever before to connecting with our community. With the goal of
using our quality content to enrich and enhance the lives of our audience, we created more than
100 educational and entertaining events over the past 12 months.
We made a concerted effort to strengthen our personal relationships with our viewers and
listeners by assessing their needs and interests, using our talent and broadcasting resources to
address issues that were important to them.
Why the intensified focus on community? After all, our commitment to localism has been rock
solid for more than 50 years. But times have changed, and we need to do more.
As part of our Early Learning Initiative, we conducted 40 workshops for teachers, parents, and
caregivers, designed to help them better use television as a literacy and get-ready-for-school
tool. And we held fundraising events that allowed our television and radio audiences to see, feel,
taste, and better understand the programs they love—including Taste of Check, Please! and the
3rd Annual WTTWKids Fun and Run in Lincoln Park. On the radio side, we launched a new series of
intimate Sunday afternoon concerts in Levin Studio, while continuing our tradition of showcasing
promising new artists.
In today’s frenetic media world, it is increasingly difficult to create a sense of community.
Remember the days when your family gathered around your 800-pound RCA black-and-white
television—the only one in the house—with three channels and no remote. Were you going to watch
Bonanza or The Judy Garland Show? You had to choose—and you knew that millions of Americans
were having the same viewing experience at the same time. Look at us today—with 500 cable
channels, we’re programming our own personal media networks. We are consuming content at our
convenience. And our kids? They are gobbling up media on their computers, iPods and cell phones.
So how does public broadcasting remain relevant in 2007 and beyond? Maybe by bringing
back that sense of community, by bringing us together. If we are going to survive in this digital era,
we cannot be static, passive, and rigid. We must become interactive, portable, and experiential.
In closing, I want to thank our tireless Board of Trustees for all their support and contributions,
and express gratitude to the individuals, foundations, and corporations who have been so
generous to public television and classical radio. Take comfort and pride in knowing that you have
not only supported the best television and radio has to offer, but enriched the lives of millions of
others in your community.
Stay tuned,
Dan Schmidt, President & CEO

Community Outreach
Now more than ever, WTTW is committed to extending quality
content beyond the television screen and into our communities.
Over the past year, virtually every department in the organization has
participated in community outreach. WTTW has developed a variety
of initiatives, inspired by local and national programs that enrich
the lives of our viewers.
For Teachers, Children, and Families
Enriching Lives Through Education
The Zula Patrol: Ready Set Science!
These training workshops for teachers are a
collaboration with the Chicago Public Schools and
Illinois Institute of Technology. Judith Lederman,
Director of Teacher Training at IIT and President of
the Council of Elementary Science International,
leads the general sessions. Last spring, we partnered
with the Adler Planetarium to welcome member families
to a fun event to meet the Zula Patrol characters and
help kids get enthusiastic about studying science.
A Lion in the House
In recognition of June as Cancer Awareness
Month, WTTW11 partnered with ITVS Community
(Independent Television Service) and the Chicago
Pediatric Cancer Care Coalition of Chicago to host a
series of screenings and panel discussions related to
A Lion in the House, a riveting documentary that
sheds light on the cancer experience through the
stories of five extraordinary children. WTTW partnered with the Chicago Cancer Care Coalition to
create an in-studio phone bank staffed by experts to
answer questions related to cancer treatment in
their communities. In June, there was also a fun-filled
Survivor Alert event which celebrated the lives of
more than 200 adult cancer survivors.
The Early Learning Initiative
WTTW’s outreach team conducted 20 workshops
for parents and childcare providers in 2005/2006,
focusing on how to use WTTW children’s programming, quality children’s books, and simple activities to
prepare small children for school. We also distributed
nearly 1,000 free children’s books and broadcast a
series of Parenting Counts spots. Organizations
that participated in these sessions included parents
from Garfield Park Head Start, Ounce of Prevention,
the Chicago Public School State Pre-K Parent
Program, the Department of Human Services Teen
Parent Program, and others.
What Makes You GO?
This literacy campaign targets children between the
1st and 5th grade. Produced by WTTW’s Early Learning
Initiative to inspire children to volunteer and contribute
to their community, students are invited to share
their stories and the winning entries are featured on
Channel 11. Visit www.wttw.com/whatmakesyougo to
see the spots that inspired such extensive interest.
No More Bullies
This multi-platform outreach project was created by
WTTW in partnership with the Children’s Brain Research
Foundation. Throughout September, WTTWKids aired
spots featuring children telling their personal stories
about being bullied. Chicago Tonight also covered the
topic, and a web page for both kids and adults was
created for wttw.com. We are now developing a
discussion guide and DVD to distribute to Chicago
public schools and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
14
African American Lives
One of the year’s most powerful programs
was The Story of Us: African American Lives, a
documentary that illustrates how to use today’s
technology to track family lineage and the history of
communities. WTTW was one of a select group
of stations awarded a grant to launch an outreach
initiative with the Boys and Girls Clubs. Over
a six-month period, kids from Chicago-area Clubs
used tools from the documentary and Internet
technology to chart the history of their families, their
heroes, their clubs, and communities. Genealogist
Tony Burroughs, a professor at Chicago State
University, attended the final presentation at our
studios and spoke about the field of genealogy.
