We believe
Public Media
can foster
positive changes
in local
communities.
A Report To Our Community
In these pages, you’ll see that it’s been a busy year for Detroit Public Television.
Many productions were shot, connections made, partnerships strengthened, minds
opened and lives touched.
Our production truck and crews are gaining a reputation throughout the region for
covering important events; our fundraising productions are raising millions of dollars
for PBS stations nationwide; our success with WRCJ 90.9 FM and broadcasts of the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Michigan Opera Theatre promote arts and
culture; and… we’re just getting started.
We believe Public Media can foster positive changes in local communities. That’s why
we are relentlessly committed to a plan of “Engage, Focus, Create and Sustain.”
We engage and partner with members of the community – at every level
We focus on issues important to our citizens
We create content using all the tools of public media
We sustain by connecting to wider audiences and delivering value
for our partners
Further, we believe in C.O.P.E. – “Create Once; Publish Everywhere.” We create
content that informs, inspires, or entertains, and then distribute it widely, free of charge,
without “branding” it Detroit Public TV.
Sound radical? Here’s the good news: we’re making a difference.
We’re serving our community as a trusted, neutral media partner. We’re providing a
megaphone and virtual town hall for concerned citizens, lifelong learners, explorers,
artists, problem solvers, educators, parents, children, and viewers like you.
We showcase best practices, great performances and innovative ideas. In short, we’re
delivering on the promise of public media.
We do it proudly with your support. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Melonie Colaianne
Chairman, Board of Trustees
Rich Homberg
President and General Manager

With a digital production truck, spacious facilities at our
Riley Broadcast Center, and a new TV studio in Midtown
Detroit, we’re capturing important events and great
performances that educate, entertain, and inspire.
Lights, Camera, Action
On the Road
Our Digital Production Truck continues to be a game-changing asset for Detroit
Public Television, as it travels throughout Michigan and beyond to connect
concerts and events with greater audiences. This year’s highlights include:
Renewed assignments to film the annual Sphinx Competition Finals
Concert, the Free Press Green Awards, the Women Mean Business
Symposium, NAACP Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner and other events
The gubernatorial inauguration in January, broadcast on DPTV and
carried by more media outlets than any prior state public affairs event
ever
Gavel-to-gavel TV and Web coverage of the Mackinac Policy
Conference, distributed online through 60 partner websites and
watched live online by approximately 45,000 people
Video streaming broadcasts of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra
and the Detroit Jazz Festival

In Midtown Detroit
In March, DPTV partnered with Wayne State University to reopen a TV studio in the
historic Maccabees building on Woodward Avenue. Once home to “The Soupy Sales
Show” and other classic Detroit TV shows, the newly renovated space is used to tape
episodes of Leaders on Leadership, and certain episodes of American Black
Journal, and Am I Right?
At the Riley Broadcast Center
If you haven’t visited our main facility in Wixom, we invite you to do so. Named for
lead benefactors George and Dolores Riley, the spacious building boasts three
studios: The Bill & Patsy Smith Studio; the Ford Motor Company Studio; and the
Boll Family Studio. Now, with the completion of the Susan Cooper Studio Control
Room to join four busy edit rooms, all endowed by our patrons, and spacious meeting
facilities, the Riley Broadcast Center is fast becoming the production center of choice
in Southeast Michigan.

We get around — broadcasting from anywhere is key to DPTV’s service,
from MiVote Mackinac on the island to our new Midtown studio on the
Wayne State Campus.

Through Detroit Public Television and WRCJ 90.9 FM,
we help people access, understand and enjoy art.
We partner with others to help arts organizations be
more effective.
Detroit Symphony Orchestra
When the DSO returned in April 2011 after a six-month strike, 2,000 people were in
Orchestra Hall to see them perform. But thanks to broadcasts and a webcast by
DPTV and WRCJ-FM, more than 60,000 worldwide were able to hear the concert.
Such is the power of public media. Other collaborations with the DSO included:
Live radio broadcasts and DPTV-produced webcasts of DSO concerts
Radio broadcasts of concerts by DSO youth ensembles
Episodes of DSO Unmasked to give listeners a greater understanding
of DSO music and musicians
Michigan Opera Theatre
This year WRCJ broadcast live all four operas presented by The Michigan Opera
Theatre. Each was preceded by an episode of MOT Unmasked, exploring the music
and story within the opera. DPTV welcomed MOT representatives to the studios for a
special challenge grant from Masco Corporation around La Boheme.
Sphinx Organization
In February 2011, DPTV and WRCJ both broadcast the annual Sphinx Finals
Concert, showcasing young Black and Latino classical music string players. In addition,
WRCJ produced seven episodes of Sphinx Journeys, hosted by Aaron Dworkin, to
explore classical music by Black and Latino composers.
Detroit Institute of Arts

DPTV Media Specials
The only PBS affiliate with its own entertainment label, DPTV Media, Detroit Public TV

its programs and products with PBS stations, concert tour partners, PBS donors and
retail consumers. Musical fundraising productions this year include:
Daniel O’Donnell Live from Nashville
Celtic Crossroads: World Fusion
Ethan Bortnick & His Musical Time Machine

PBS is the # 1 educational media brand, trusted by
parents worldwide. Detroit Public TV extends that
mission by collaborating with parents and child care
professionals to give kids a great start in life.
Children and Education
Early Childhood Learning
Michigan’s Early Childhood Investment Corporation (ECIC) chose Detroit Public TV
to work with United Way of Southeastern Michigan to produce 42 one-minute video
learning lessons, a one-hour TV special, and other materials to educate, recruit and
inspire those who foster life success for young children.
The video lessons are being broadcast throughout Michigan and distributed via
DVD to child care professionals. To date, more than 8,400 DVDs have been requested.
Great Teachers
What does it take to be a great teacher? Great Teachers, produced by DPTV and the
United Way for Southeastern Michigan, with funding from the Ford Foundation, highlights
the success stories and struggles of a handful of Detroit-area teachers trying to
bring hope to the young people they influence.
Spark Collaborative
Detroit Public TV has partnered with the Michigan Department of Education, Wayne
County Regional Educational Service Agency and the Michigan Association of Computer
Users to form “The Spark Collaborative.” The group will marshal its forces to
expand media offerings to educators across Michigan. The goal is to build a library
of highly effective, expectation-aligned examples of instructional best practices across
grade levels

Flip Clips
Jewish teens produced mini-documentaries that explore what makes Detroit special
to them, including relationships between themselves, their parents, and their grandparents.
Ready to Learn
In approximately 90 community workshops, DPTV’s Vernita Beverly distributed more
than 4,500 free books and helped 4,000 children and families improve their literacy
and explore such topics as anti-bullying, getting ready for kindergarten, and eating
well on a budget.
You Be the Chemist – 2010 Michigan Finals
26 exceptionally talented middle school students competed in this one-hour special for
prizes and the right to represent Michigan in the national student chemistry competition.
Telling Our Story
Last year, Michigan families adopted 3,030 children from foster care, but many more
children remain. In this special report, an adoptive parent, a foster child, and a woman
who has aged out of the system talk about their personal experiences, and Michigan
officials express the need for foster and adoptive parents in our community.

“DPTV’s coverage of the conference
engaged more citizens than ever in
meaningful discussions about
Michigan’s future, making DPTV an
ideal partner for the Chamber’s
problem-solving platform.”
Sandy K. Baruah,
President and CEO, Detroit Regional Chamber
Addressing the Issues
In partnership with our community, Detroit Public TV
creates content focused on five critical areas:
Children and Education
Arts and Culture
Energy and Environment
Health and Wellness
Public Affairs and Leadership - We believe in supporting democracy
by providing deep and unbiased public affairs information.
MiVote Mackinac
In June 2011, 1,500 Michigan leaders gathered on Mackinac Island for The Detroit
Regional Chamber’s annual policy conference, but this year was different. Thanks
to Detroit Public TV and its production truck, the conference doors were opened to
thousands of people worldwide via 23 hours of live coverage. The video was used by
every Detroit-area media provider and picked up by national media such as CNBC,
Bloomberg and American Public Media.
Online, 42,000 unique computers were used to watch the live stream, which was carried
on 60 websites. Many more commented on social networks Twitter and Facebook.
The result was a stunning success and model for new public media.
MiVote.org
The Smith Studio at Detroit Public TV’s Riley Broadcast Center was the location of the
only televised gubernatorial debate between candidates Rick Snyder and Virg Bernero
in 2010. DPTV provided video to more than 600,000 viewers statewide.
In our ongoing effort to inform citizens on important issues, we also videotaped more
than 200 interviews and broadcast debates with candidates for state Senate and
House offices. MiVote.org is your source for ongoing 2012 election coverage.

Am I Right?
Each week, Nolan Finley and Debbie Dingell review Michigan and national issues
from conservative and liberal perspectives. Always entertaining and insightful.
American Black Journal
With more than 40 years of weekly programs, ABJ is a window into American history
and comtemporary race relations. Journalist Stephen Henderson hosts lively
interviews with newsmakers, celebrities and everyday people. Highlights included an
interview with Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and a special to celebrate the 50th anniversary
of The Freedom Riders.
Leaders on Leadership
Produced in cooperation with Wayne State University, Leaders on Leadership, hosted
by Larry Fobes, digs deep for leadership secrets from business leaders. Highlights
this year included conversations with Michael Ducker, President, FedEx Express;
Joanne Shaw, CEO, The Coffee Beanery; and Joachim Chissano, former President of
Mozambique.

DPTV and WRCJ
…and you, together we’re making a difference.
Dear WTVS,
As a long-time supporter and watcher of WTVS, I thank you for showing three hours of
Zen, the Masterpiece Mystery. It is fabulous!!! Thanks, – Mary
Dear WRCJ,
Our family owns a dance apparel business in Canton…and
we play your station during the day since much of the music
is associated with ballet. Last spring, I heard you announce
a children’s jazz band performance happening that weekend.
I decided to take our kids to see it, just to provide them with
an enriching and possibly inspiring experience. We noticed
audition information on the tables and took some info home.
Our twelve-year-old son who plays percussion ended up auditioning
for the (DSO Civic) Sinfonia. He made the cut and
has been rehearsing every Saturday morning at Orchestra
Hall, all the way from Brighton. Last night, our son Trey had
his first concert! Fifteen of our family members showed up
to support Trey and the arts in Detroit. We were so proud,
not only of our son, but of the skill level of all the young
musicians! What a great program. Now, my eleven year old
niece is thinking of auditioning for next year. So you know
what? I’m glad I listen to your radio station!!
– Aimee LeMay

“Doing things
differently in Michigan
starts with doing things
differently at the Mackinac
Policy Conference, which was engrained in
every decision we made.The partnership with
Detroit Public Television removed the veil of
the Conference and provided accessibility for all
Michiganians. Our partnership with DPTV also led
to greater and more real-time media coverage of
the Conference. The partnership with DPTV was
essential in our move to position the 2011 Conference
as a state-wide event. Through its MiVote.
org project, DPTV’s coverage of the Conference
engaged more citizens than ever in meaningful
discussions about Michigan’s future, making DPTV
an ideal partner for the Chamber’s problem-solving
platform.” – Detroit Regional Chamber

I loved answering the pledge phones for the Johnny Reid Live event!
Callers who knew him and those who had never seen him before were
energized by his music. All of them wanted more. This supports my
theory about DPTV: Many programs are reviewed; only the best are
chosen. On behalf of the callers on January 8, I would like to extend
a heartfelt “Thank You DPTV” for sharing Johnny Reid. You changed
a cold and dreary evening into a night of fun! – Josie Tajer
