WTTW11/98.7WFMT 2005 6 Celebrating 50 years of WTTW11

WTTW11/98.7WFMT 2005 6 Celebrating 50 years of WTTW11

Words from the President and CEO 6

Dear Members,
2005 was a milestone year for WTTW – our 50th year
on the air. We knew we had to commemorate our
birthday in exactly the right way. After countless
brainstorming sessions, we reached a clear consensus
that our celebration had to be a “thank you” gift to the
city we love. It had to reflect the beauty and diversity
of Chicago, showcase local talent, be accessible to
the public, and express gratitude to our viewers,
members, donors, and staff. It had to be a spectacular
production with soul and spirit…and it was.
The setting for WTTW’s 50th Birthday Bash was the
magnificent Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park.
The Grant Park Orchestra serenaded the city from a
stage lit like a precious stone in a setting of Chicago’s
world-famous skyscrapers. Not only did the 90-minute
broadcast become a symbolic salute to thousands of
former broadcasters who have built our legacy, it also
toasted our current generation of producers and
technicians who will take public broadcasting into a
more complex, challenging, and exciting future.
Although the media landscape has changed dramatically
since 1955, WTTW’s core values have remained
the same:
For those of you who remember watching shows like
The Totem Club and Book Beat, you will agree that
we’ve come a long way from our temporary home in
1955 as a “working exhibit” at the Museum of
Science and Industry to 5400 N. St. Louis Avenue,
where we moved ten years later. Within this year’s
report, you will see an abbreviated timeline of many of
WTTW’s accomplishments. It might also bring back
some memories.
Here are a few highlights of the past year in television
and radio:
6 We competed for, and won, a substantial grant
from the U. S. Department of Education to fund a
five-year children’s learning initiative, including production
of a new television series, Word World, and
three additional literacy-based properties.
6 We began production of a new national series,
Legends of Jazz, featuring host Ramsey Lewis with
legendary jazz vocalists and instrumentalists spanning
the generations. This is the first regularly scheduled
program about jazz to be presented on any network in
40 years.
Its world premiere offering is a live recording on a
two-CD set of Hershey Felder as George Gershwin
Alone, and dedicated to the late Ray Nordstrand
(1932-2005), the man who helped shape 98.7WFMT
and the WFMT Radio Network.
6 Leonard Bernstein: An American Life, produced by
Steve Rowland and Larry Abrams and distributed by
the WFMT Radio Network, received a George Foster
Peabody Award, broadcasting’s highest honor.
6 Senior Vice President of Radio Steve Robinson
spearheaded the Chicago Media Tsunami Relief
Effort, bringing together broadcasters from every
major media outlet in the region to raise significant
funds for the American Red Cross. His model was
used by the Illinois Broadcasters Association for a
Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
As long as we have the support of you -- the member,
all the committed corporations and foundations, and
the dedication of our Board of Trustees -- public
television in Chicago will continue to build on its legacy
of providing the best television has to offer to the
best audience in the country.
6 The place to engage Chicago’s rich cultural life
6 The place to discover and learn about Chicago’s
6 diverse communities
6 The place to find a safe haven for Chicago’s
6 families for learning and fun
What has changed is the myriad ways we are receiving
our programming – from the internet to cell phones to
iPods. And WTTW11 and 98.7WFMT have stayed
right in step with this changing technology.
6 We secured funding from the Society for Human
Resource Management to revive the popular national
series CEO Exchange.
6 Wild Chicago is back, and it’s hitting the road! In a
new incarnation of the popular local series, original
host Ben Hollis takes viewers on a freewheeling
Illinois Road Trip, made possible in part through a
partnership with the Illinois Bureau of Tourism.
6 98.7WFMT, voted “#1 Radio Station in Chicago” by
the readers of Today’s Chicago Woman, debuted its
own record label, WFMT Radio Network Recordings.
Sincerely,
Dan Schmidt
President & CEO
