Remembering Maestro David Stahl
David Stahl, Music Director and Conductor of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra for 27 years, died Sunday, November 24, after a valiant two-month battle with an aggressive form of lymphoma. His death follows that of his wife, Karen, who succumbed to breast cancer only a month ago after her own 14-year battle.
For nearly 27 years, Maestro Stahl played a catalytic role in a cultural and artistic renaissance in Charleston and established himself as one of the most influential and charismatic personalities in the South. He transformed the Charleston Symphony Orchestra into a great professional orchestra and leading cultural institution and received a national award for imaginative programming from the American Symphony Orchestra League. Maestro Stahl was also the Music Director and Chief Conductor of Munich’s Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz opera house, where he raised the rank of the orchestra to major status and was named Munich’s “man of the year.”
“For 27 years, Maestro David Stahl has served as the driving force for symphonic music in Charleston and has provided countless magical moments for audiences of every age in leading the Charleston Symphony Orchestra. We all have been firsthand witnesses to his enormous talent and his infectious enthusiasm. He will be sorely missed,” said Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr.
Stahl was extraordinarily proud of the transformation of the CSO from a metropolitan orchestra into a highly respected professional regional orchestra that not only provided performances of the highest quality to the Charleston community but also served as a launching pad for the careers of many of its musicians. Maestro Stahl was a great musical mentor and many former CSO musicians now occupy some of the most prestigious orchestra posts in their profession including the Concertmasters of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and the Cincinnati Symphony, as well as positions in the symphonies in Houston, Seattle, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Charlotte, Dallas, Cleveland, Boston, and others.
“David has been the guiding hand for the orchestra for so many seasons that it would be easy to take his many talents for granted. That would be a mistake – David’s talent was genuine, his love for the orchestra and the city was palpable, and his enthusiasm was contagious. We will miss his leadership and he will be very hard to replace,” said CSO President Ted Legasey. “The entire orchestra family extends its deepest sympathies to David’s children Sonya, Byron and Anna, and other Stahl family members.”
After Hurricane Hugo devastated the Lowcountry in 1989, the Maestro led the way in lifting the community’s spirit and helping to begin the healing process when the CSO presented a free concert at the foot of the US Custom House two weeks after the hurricane, in a performance that was telecast live statewide. Stahl’s positive energy was infectious – the crowd was mesmerized.
For his long-standing commitment to the Charleston community and the State of South Carolina, Maestro Stahl received numerous awards and honors including the Elizabeth Verner Award, the Order of the Palmetto, an Honorary Doctorate from the College of Charleston, and the Governor’s Palmetto Ambassador Award.
Ellen Dressler Moryl, Director of the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs, a close colleague since his arrival in Charleston in 1983 and a frequent collaborator involving CSO appearances at Piccolo Spoleto beginning in 1995, praised his energy and musical vision. “David was an eternal optimist. He always emphasized the positive and he had a special ability to buoy the spirits of anyone facing an artistic challenge. This is a major loss to South Carolina’s arts community. We will all miss him terribly.”
The son of German Jewish refugees, David Stahl was born and educated in New York City, and made his Carnegie Hall debut at the age of 23 with the Youth Symphony Orchestra of New York. He then was invited by Seiji Ozawa to become one of the select conducting fellows at Tanglewood where he first worked with the man who would become his mentor and colleague, Leonard Bernstein.
The next year, Mr. Bernstein invited the 26-year-old to be Assistant Conductor of the New York Philharmonic and a few years later asked him to take over the music directorship of West Side Story on Broadway and for its European tour. After serving as Assistant Conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony for four seasons under Thomas Schippers, Mr. Bernstein again called on David Stahl to assist him when he made his legendary recording of West Side Story.
David Stahl and his wife, Karen, leave behind two children, Anna, 16, and Byron, 20. Also surviving David Stahl is Sonya, 29, a daughter from a previous marriage; his brother Dr. Robert Stahl; and his 90-year old father, Frank.
A memorial service for Maestro Stahl and his wife will be held Saturday, November 13, 2010, at 11 am in the Historic Dock Street Theatre, 135 Church Street, Charleston, SC.

Letter to Listeners from NPR’s Dana Davis Rehm
Dear NPR Listener:
Late Wednesday evening we gave Juan Williams notice that we've terminated his contract as a Senior News Analyst for NPR News. We didn't make this decision lightly or without regret. Juan has been a valuable contributor to NPR and public radio for many years.
However, his remarks on The O'Reilly Factor this past Monday violated our ethics guidelines. Unfortunately, this has occurred several times in other media. Our decision to end our contractual relationship with Juan has come after repeated conversations and warnings about some of his public comments. This was a difficult, but principled decision.
We've been contacted by listeners who have passionately agreed with our decision, as well as those who have disagreed with it, with equal conviction. We hear you both and respect your perspectives. At the same time, we believe that the public is better served by NPR holding firm to the values and standards that have guided us for many years.
As some listeners have also asked for more details about our funding, you can find a detailed overview of our funding on our website in our "About" section: http://www.npr.org/about/aboutnpr/. Of note, and as is explained in that site, NPR, Inc. has received no direct operating support from the federal government since 1983.
I recognize that this decision has sparked a strong debate in the blogosphere and elsewhere, and that you have a firm position on the matter. While we stand by our policy, we also regret that we were compelled to take the actions that we did.
Sincerely,
Dana Davis Rehm
Senior Vice President, Marketing, Communications, and External Relations

On this Song Travels, Lauderdale brings along a few of his musical collaborators, including NPR’s Ari Shapiro, who proves to be as good a singer as he is a journalist.

Bette Midler
April 14/15, 2012
The Divine Miss M—singer, actress, and comedian Bette Midler—is Feinstein’s guest for an hour of pure radio fun. Midler opens a crate of favorite tunes from her record collection—from Louis Jordan to vintage Hawaiian music to Destiny’s Child, along with stories from her multi-faceted career. Feinstein presents her with a solo arrangement of "I'll Be There," a song written for her by the legendary songwriting team Alan and Marilyn Bergman.
Joshua Bell & Jeremy Denk

Feinstein welcomes one of the most dynamic duos in the classical music world—violinist Joshua Bell and pianist Jeremy Denk.

On this week’s Song Travels, Bell and Denk perform selections from their latest project, French Impressions, an album of works by César Franck, Maurice Ravél and Camille Saint-Saëns. Through conversation and music, Feinstein and his guests connect the dots between classical music and standards.

Thirty-two-year old Rumer (Sarah Joyce) was raised in England and Pakistan, but her sound reveals a deep connection to the heyday of the early ’70s singer/songwriter era, along with shades of Broadway, ’30s jazz, and gospel. After years of unfailing effort, she is beginning to reap the rewards. Her debut album, Seasons of My Soul, reached No. 3 on the UK charts and was certified platinum.

Jackson has appeared on NBC’s 30 Rock and Fox’s Glee and has recorded an album of duets with Feinstein, The Power of Two.

Nationwide EAS TEST on November 9 at 2:00 p.m.
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the EAS & the First Nationwide EAS Test
What is the EAS?
The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a media communications-based alerting system that is designed to transmit emergency alerts and warnings to the American public at the national, state and local levels. The EAS has been in existence since 1994, and its precursor, the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS), began in 1963. Television and radio broadcasters, satellite radio and satellite television providers, as well as cable television and wireline video providers all participate in the system (collectively, EAS Participants). EAS Participants broadcast thousands of alerts and warnings to the American public each year regarding weather threats, child abductions, and many other types of emergencies. As such, the EAS will continue to function as one key component of a national alert and warning system that will provide alerts over multiple communications platforms, including mobile communications devices.
How does the EAS work?
An EAS alert is based on an audio protocol defined in the FCC’s rules. In the EAS, an alert originator at the local, state, or national level inputs an EAS alert into the system using specific encoding equipment. Specially designated stations then broadcast this alert to the public in their listening areas. Other EAS Participants (television and other radio broadcasters, cable and wireline video service providers, radio and television satellite service providers, and others) monitor the specially-designated stations for EAS alerts. When these other EAS Participants receive the EAS alert, they, in turn, broadcast it to the public in their listening areas. This group of EAS Participants may be monitored by other EAS Participants too far away to receive the EAS message from the first group of transmitting broadcasters. This next group of EAS Participants, in turn, broadcasts the alert to the public in the vicinity of their stations, as well as to any other stations that may be monitoring them.
When is the EAS used? When would a national EAS alert be sent?
The EAS alerting architecture is frequently used by state and local emergency managers to send alerts to the public about emergencies and weather events. While the requirements for carrying a national-level EAS alert differ in some respects from state and local alerts, the national EAS test will test the underlying architecture that also supports state and local alerting. Ensuring that the EAS architecture functions properly will benefit emergency alerting at all levels of government.
The EAS provides the ability to send messages regionally or nationally, though it has never been activated at these levels. But a major disaster like an earthquake or tsunami could necessitate the use of the EAS on a regional or national basis to send life-saving information to the public. We cannot anticipate which communications infrastructure will withstand a particular disaster, but the EAS is one of the tools we have to send alerts, warnings, and information to the American people. The national EAS test will help us improve its capabilities should it ever be needed at the regional or national level in an actual emergency.
Why do we need a nationwide test of the EAS?
Pursuant to the FCC’s rules, local and state components of the EAS are tested on a weekly and monthly basis, respectively. Although the EAS has been in existence for over 15 years, there has never been an end-to-end, nationwide test of the system, and we need to know that the system will work as intended should public safety officials ever need to send an alert or warning to a large region of the United States. Only a top-down, simultaneous test of all components of the EAS can provide an appropriate diagnosis of system-wide performance.
How will the national EAS test be conducted?
The national EAS test will be conducted jointly by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through its Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS), the three federal agencies that have EAS management responsibilities. FEMA is the arm of the DHS primarily responsible for developing national alert and warning functions. The FCC is an independent agency that grants licenses to or otherwise oversees EAS Participants. FCC rules regulate the transmission of EAS alerts. The NWS is a key player in the dissemination of local warnings via the EAS. The great majority of EAS alerts are NWS weather-related alerts.
On November 9, at 2 PM EST, FEMA will transmit the EAS code for national level emergencies to Primary Entry Point (PEP) stations in the national level of the EAS. The PEP stations will then rebroadcast the alert to the general public in their broadcast vicinity, as well as to the next level of EAS Participants monitoring them. This should continue through all levels of the system, until the national alert has been distributed throughout the entire country.
Pursuant to the FCC’s rules, all EAS Participants must report back to the FCC on the results of this test, including whether, and from whom, they received the alert message and whether they rebroadcast it. FEMA and the FCC will study these results to determine if there are problems with the system and, if so, how best to remedy them. We anticipate that a national test will be conducted periodically to ensure that the EAS is, and remains, functional.
FEMA and the FCC have already twice tested the EAS national code on a more limited basis, in the state of Alaska. The lessons learned from the Alaska tests will inform how the agencies conduct the national test.
What will people hear and see during the test?
During the test, viewers will hear a message indicating that “This is a test.” Although the National EAS Test may resemble the periodic, monthly EAS tests that most Americans are already familiar with, there will be some differences in what viewers will see and hear, which is one reason for conducting a national EAS test. The audio message will be the same for all EAS Participants; however, due to limitations in the EAS, the video test message scroll may not be the same or indicate that “This is a test.” This is due to the use of a “live” national code – the same code that would be used in an actual emergency. In addition, the background image that appears on video screens during an alert may indicate that “This is a test,” but in some instances there might not be an image at all. FEMA and the FCC plan to conduct outreach to organizations representing people with hearing disabilities to prepare that community for the national EAS test. Outreach will include specific information tailored to the needs of those with hearing disabilities that will be readily available at online sites.
In addition, FEMA and the FCC will work with EAS Participants to explore whether there are solutions to address this limitation. The text at the bottom of the television screen may indicate that an “Emergency Alert Notification has been issued.” This notification is used to disseminate a national alert and in this case, the test.
How long will the test last?
We anticipate that the test will last approximately3 minutes. While state and local EAS messages are limited to 2 minutes, there is no time limit for national EAS alerts. To evaluate whether the system properly interprets the national message code in the national EAS test, the message duration must be longer than two minutes.
Why is the national test being conducted at this particular date and time?
While EAS tests may be disruptive, they are important to ensure that the EAS is functional and that EAS Participants are prepared to issue alerts, and it is our intent to minimize disruption and confusion to the extent possible. The November 9 date is near the end of hurricane season and before the severe winter weather season begins in earnest. The 2 PM EST broadcast time will minimize disruption during rush hours, while ensuring that the test occurs during working hours across the United States.

Q&A with Audie Cornish, new host of Weekend Edition Sunday
Q) Congratulations on your new job! You've done quite a lot of hosting in recent years. How does reporting stories change in this new role?
A) Well first of all it's a lot more collaborative. I get to work with a really talented team of producers with all levels of experience. Their input changes how you approach a story from the pitch to the writing. After years of basically being a solo act as a reporter, it's so refreshing to work with other people who are really teeming with ideas.
Q) Are people more likely to call you directly with story ideas when you're a host?
A) Hah! Yes. Not only do they call me, but I also get pitches in person. Everyone I meet either has some idea that they want to get on the show or they want to weigh in on ways to change it or make it better. I think it's a real testament to how much people care about Weekend Edition Sunday â€"- how personal it is. Of course, I am thinking about the show every moment of my day. I really want people to remain engaged with it and bring in new audiences as well. So I am more than happy to talk shop and new ideas. Keep 'em coming!
Q) What's the most challenging thing about making this transition? A) Well, there are some challenges in terms of reorienting your mind from the kind of reporter scavenger hunt approach to stories versus the host as surrogate. As the host you are really the voice of the listener and trying to ask the questions that they are thinking and you are part of the story in whatever interview you are doing. That takes some getting used to when you are like me -- prone to ducking out of view. But the fact is the challenges with this transition have been really manageable because they are actually giving us time to transition. We are getting to think about what makes the show unique, what my role will be and really define its sound. They could have thrown me to the wolves, but they haven't -- yet!
Q) Hosting a Sunday show, your weekends will now change to Monday/Tuesday. How will that work for you?
A) Through sheer force of will and abiding love of doing my grocery shopping on the least busy days of the week!

Nature Comes Back: 25 Years After Chernobyl
ETV, in partnership with the South Carolina Department of Education and the University of South Carolina, examines the world’s largest nuclear disaster which occurred 25 years ago at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Ukraine. The programs air Tuesday, April 26, beginning at 7 p.m.
This new three-part series entitled Nature Comes Back: 25 Years After Chernobyl will “pull back the curtain” with a special panel of experts, including naturalists, scientists, journalists, and historians who expound on the effects the Chernobyl tragedy had on nature, nuclear science, US-Soviet relations, and the people who worked there and called it home. Rare photos and video captured by ETV and USC allow viewers to see the aftermath of the 1986 nuclear meltdown.
Programs in the series include:
• Part 1: Pulling Back the Curtain provides a historical exploration of the events that led to the Chernobyl accident on April 26, 1986. Experts in the field discuss what went wrong and the political fallout that resulted.
• Part 2: Reflecting on the Impact examines the effect on the people and nature in the devastated area. Panel members also share riveting stories from their visits to the region, vividly recalling the people they met and the way the landscape was affected.
• Part 3: Observing the Return of Life is an in-depth look at how the natural world has adapted to the greatest nuclear catastrophe in history with a discussion that highlights the University of South Carolina and ETV’s interest in Chernobyl. The show also spotlights the re-settlers who have returned home.

About Pee Dee Explorer
What does it mean when someone says they are from the "Pee Dee" of South Carolina? A place is bigger than its physical geography. A "sense of place" weaves together our experiences with the land, its culture and lifestyle. This website explores the relationship of the landscape of the Pee Dee and the people who live there.
Pee Dee Explorer features over six hours of video vignettes that characterize the natural, cultural, and agricultural landscapes of the Pee Dee region of South Carolina. This new site is a virtual treasure trove of stories told by farmers, naturalists, historians, conservationists and other members of the Pee Dee community with intimate knowledge of the land. The website serves as both an educational resource and tour guide to the region's many landmarks, farms, festivals, and parks. K-12 teacher and student resources connect the Web content to the classroom through lesson plans, standards correlations, and related Web content, and visitor information is provided for schools and the general public.
The Pee Dee Explorer website is divided into chapters that provide various contexts for telling the story of the region. Each chapter contains a collection of video stories and accompanying text, based on well-known and "off the beaten path" landmarks found in the Pee Dee. In addition, the Google Maps interface allows visitors to explore these place-based stories through interactive maps with overlays that are unique to each chapter.
Questions or comments about this website can be directed to phayes@scetv.org.

South Carolina ETV is the state’s public educational broadcasting network that includes TV, radio and a multi-media educational system, serving the people of South Carolina since its formation in 1960. On its 50th anniversary, ETV held a year-long celebration to raise its visibility across the state as a vital and relevant part of the lives of all South Carolinians, from its origins in classrooms to its rise as one of the premiere public broadcasters in the US. Specifically, we wanted to increase ratings and usage of our online offerings, such as StreamlineSC and Knowitall.org, by 10 percent, and double our Twitter and Facebook following. We also wanted 4,000 in attendance at our live events.
As planning began in early 2009, the agency was still reeling from the dramatic budget cuts it received in Nov. 2008, resulting in the loss of staff members, and leaving less money for core services, much less an anniversary. Plus, if we looked too flashy, we would become an even bigger target for the SC Legislature’s next round of cuts. The primary question was, “How do we mark this milestone, while at the same time not looking like we withheld money that could have saved jobs (bad for employee morale), or appear that we had even more ‘fat’ that could be cut?” (bad for obvious reasons).
RESEARCH:
Primary research included a re-examination of the plans for our 2004 Mercury Award-winning “Family Days” event, which would frame our live events. We obtained Neilsen, Arbitron, Google Analytics and other web-tracking programs to set a base measurement of growth. To gain support and raise morale, we also gathered the opinions and ideas of staff members. Secondary research included a look at other public broadcasters' 50th anniversaries. We also examined ways to maximize the potential of our social media accounts.
Project leader for the 50th anniversary was Debbie Hamlett, director of ETV’s Development and Programming dept., with assistance from the Communications dept., including Glenn Rawls, director of On-Air Promotion and Rob Schaller, director of Communications.
PLANNING:
With limited money, we knew the best way to get our message out was over our own airwaves, our website, e-newsletters viewer’s guide and social media accounts. During our pledge weeks, we changed our cable-buy strategy from “tune-in” ads for specific shows to “image” spots for the network. We planned several live events, including one to kick off and another to wrap up the anniversary. We also partnered with the Richland County Public Library for a 50th exhibit in their local history room. In short, we used mostly in-kind services plus an additional $10,000 budget to plan events and tell the story of who we are and what we do for our existing audience, as well as to attract new fans. Our anniversary launched on Sept. 1, 2009 and ran until Sept. 25, 2010.
EXECUTION:
1) Between every show on each of our three channels, we played a series of spots sharing facts about the lesser-known services, milestones and clips from interviews with current/former employees relaying some of their fondest memories.
2) The redesigned website included a new “50th anniversary” page, complete with a Flash-based timeline, galleries of photos broken out by decade, video testimonials and more.
3) Our members magazine was reformatted to a tabloid format, making it bigger and easier for our older audience to read, and also cheaper to print.
4) Facebook Fan Page, Flickr, bit.ly and Twitter accounts all created for our anniversary in early-to-mid 2009.
5) A new series, “ETV Classics,” featuring programs from the vault began.
6) Two specials, “ETV Celebrates 50 Years,” and “NatureScene: A Look Back,” aired during pledge drives, bringing former network stars back into the studios.
Live events included:
1) “Family day” events at our Sumter station (09/13/09) and Columbia headquarters (09/25/10), which featured station tours, a chance to meet our on-air talent, ETV’s mascot Smart Cat and characters from the PBS Kids lineup.
2) Four interactive shows with characters from the PBS Kids’ program “Between the Lions” in May 2010.
3) The Richland County Public Library hosted an SCETV 50th Anniversary exhibit from June-Dec 2010.
EVALUATION:
1) Over 25 articles in newspaper and magazines, plus coverage by television newscasts around the state.
2) The radio and TV membership drives following the Sept. 25 wrap-up exceeded goals by almost $60,000.
3) Viewership went up by 19 percent (at a time when national PBS viewership was down 6 percent).
4) Live event attendance close to 3,400.
5) Facebook Fan page created 06/10 had 781 fans by 06/11, and 1538 fans (97percent increase) by Sept. 27.
6) Twitter account created 02/09, had 184 followers by 09/10.
7) StreamlineSC usage up 9 percent, but local teacher-contributed content jumped almost 2,200 percent.
8) Knowitall.org usage up 16 percent.
9) Perhaps most importantly, when Governor Sanford vetoed almost half of our state budget in 06/10, an outpouring of support from fans calling their legislators helped override those vetoes.

Television Transmitters | Radio Transmitters
ETV Radio is designated as the media of record by the state and is the primary vehicle for statewide information during natural disasters and other emergencies. During the most recent snowstorm, the staff worked around the clock to provide emergency information to listeners across the state.
ETV Radio serves as a backbone of the state’s Emergency Alert System. WLTR-FM in Columbia is South Carolina’s primary backup station with several other ETV Radio stations serving as the state’s alternate relay stations.
All 46 counties are served by AMBER Alert and National Weather Service alerts via ETV and ETV Radio.
ETV houses and maintains all 14 South Carolina weather transmitters for the National Weather Service on our towers.
ETV houses, maintains and provides the microwave interconnection for all of the 25 radio repeaters of the South Carolina Healthcare Emergency Amateur Radio Team (SCHEART). It reaches most of the sixty-plus hospitals that receive funding through the Hospital Preparedness Program. ETV is a partner in the collaboration of SCHEART, which includes the USC Center for Public Health Preparedness, the SC Emergency Management Division, SC Department of Health and Environment Control, Division of Information Services, SC Hospital Association, and many other partners.
ETV houses and maintains all 12 radio repeaters of the South Carolina Wing of the Civil Air Patrol. These repeaters are used in communications to support air search and rescue and are also under agreement for use by the U.S. Air Force and Department of Homeland Security when needed.
Transparency in Government
At a time when commercial news organizations throughout the nation have dramatically cut back their coverage of state government, ETV is the only place to see South Carolina’s legislative process in action. More than 800 hours of gavel-to-gavel and related legislative coverage are broadcast annually.
As an example, ETV’s coverage of the 2011 Inauguration was the pool feed for all media across the state. During the state’s largest snowstorm in a decade, ETV crews braved extremely difficult weather conditions to set up and execute a network production that covered activities from multiple points.
ETV’s efforts were lauded by other media who depended on this service – including James Warner, News Director of WCSC TV/Charleston, who said, “Our local coverage here in Charleston… was very successful. We couldn’t have done it without SCETV’s pool coverage. Your execution was high quality despite the bitter, frigid conditions!”

Education
ETV’s education service is recognized as a center for excellence that is known nationwide as a model for delivering educational content, training teachers and providing ready-to-learn programs. ETV is helping to prepare a 21st century workforce that is essential to attracting businesses and jobs to the state.
Educators, administrators, students, and a broad array of state agency employees have access to searchable, standards-based curriculum content and professional development classes through ETV's technology. Services are provided through in-person seminars and web delivery. ETV provides content, technology resources, professional development, and opportunities for hands-on training to SC’s 65,000 teachers, all 85 school districts and other special schools, and their students. ETV's ongoing goal is to provide access and equity to educators and support staff in every district across South Carolina, including underserved rural areas. ETV reaches teachers and students throughout the learning environment: K-12, universities, colleges, technical colleges, home and private schools, and child-care providers.
ETV collaborates with the Department of Education to provide more than 8000 educational videos online through StreamlineSC.This service is made available at no charge to every public, private and home school student, regardless of economic status. StreamlineSC generates 3.2 million views of videos each year, the highest video-on-demand use per teacher of any state in the nation for a service of its kind.
ETV’s Knowitall.org K-12 educational portal was the state’s first educational portal designed to present students with a safe, standards-based, interactive learning experience. Most of the simulations, virtual field trips, and educational games on Knowitall were conceived and produced in South Carolina by the ETV staff. The portal has attracted national acclaim, including most recently a Corporation for Public Broadcasting 2010 Innovation in Education Award. Knowitall generates more than 6 million page views each year.
OnePlaceSC is ETV’s educational portal, at which SC’s public, private and home schools can search all of ETV’s quality K-12 research sites. OnePlaceSC is also used by the Criminal Justice Academy for public service training and recertification, MUSC for pharmaceutical updates, and municipal and county associations for live streaming and video-on-demand.
ETV’s early learning service, “Ready to Learn,” provides 2600 hours of safe-haven, noncommercial, curriculum-based children’s programs for our youngest learners. This content has been demonstrated to increase education readiness and to improve overall results.
ETV provides access to 636 hours of content to meet training certification requirements for 13,000 SC law enforcement officers throughout the state.
Many other agencies and organizations receive training through ETV, including city and county officials and administrators.
Overview
Through the vision of the General Assembly, a concurrent resolution was passed in 1957, calling for a study of television use in public schools, and over 50 years later, education is still at the core of South Carolina ETV.
South Carolina ETV is the State’s public educational broadcasting network, delivered through Television, Radio and the Web. It also includes a multi-media educational system reaching more than 2500 schools, colleges, businesses, and government agencies. ETV’s mission is to enrich lives by educating children and adults, informing and connecting citizens, while fostering economic growth, and celebrating our culture and environment.

OBJECTIVES:
South Carolina ETV is the state's public television and radio network. Although its locally produced "Carolina Stories" documentary series had already won several awards, ETV sought to increase the series' popularity and increase awareness about ETV to the public at large.
The program chronicles the life of South Carolina native Melvin Purvis, an unassuming agent in the yet-to-be-named Federal Bureau of Investigations. He was the man responsible for taking down John Dillinger, "Pretty Boy" Floyd and "Baby Face" Nelson. However, not long after he became a household name for these exploits, he disappeared from the public eye, dying in obscurity. His death remains shrouded in mystery.
STRATEGY & TACTICS:
We chose the "G-Man" program as the way to accomplish this goal because of the following factors:
1) First and foremost, the movie "Public Enemies" starring Johnny Depp as John Dillinger and Christian Bale as Purvis would be released July 1, 2009.
2) The Vendetta, a book about Purvis, written by his son, Alston, was being re-issued in paperback.
To accomplish our goal, we:
1) Targeted movie-goers, and especially those intent on watching "Public Enemies," by creating a 30-second trailer that ran in all PG-13 and R-rated movies in four theatres located in geographically diverse cities in South Carolina: Columbia, Charleston, Greenville and Florence (where Purvis was born and died). The theatre buy ran for a month, from June 26-July 23, 2009, covering all the air dates in our schedule (below). This trailer is embedded at the bottom of this page.
2) Scheduled the premiere on Thursday, July 2 at 9 p.m. (The regular weekly timeslot for "Carolina Stories").
3) We also added a "Carolina Stories" repeat to our regular schedule on Sundays at 4 p.m. We replayed “G-Man” two weeks later on that Thursday (July 16) and Sunday (July 19), and a final time on Thursday, July 30. The program was also on our second channel, the South Carolina Channel, in its usual Monday at 9 p.m. slot on July 6, July 20 and August 3.
4) We partnered with a local independent theatre in Columbia, The Nickelodeon, to host two screenings on June 23 that included:
- A Q&A session with the producers following the show
- Several Model A cars that were used in the documentary
- Wine, beer and food reception in between the screenings
- Five drawings to win a copy of the program following each Q&A session. Through this, we were able to add to our database of contacts for our e-newsletters. However, we also had order forms available to purchase a copy. (pdf)
- The event was billed as a fundraiser for both ETV and The Nickelodeon, splitting the ticket sales.
- Heavy ETV branding both outside and inside the theatre
5) The Nickelodeon also agreed to play three different trailers on our behalf for free:
- The same trailer that ran in the other movie theatres also ran in The Nickelodeon, but with two different tags. The first promoted the screening and started the week before the event. The second version began the day after our event and promoted the first air dates on ETV.
- The third trailer played on the day of the event, promoting the weekly "Carolina Stories" series.
6) We partnered with the Drs. Bruce and Lee Foundation Library (main branch of the Florence County Library) to host two free screenings on Sunday, June 28, which included all of the same elements as The Nickelodeon, but added:
- A book signing and chance to meet Alston Purvis, the son of Melvin
- An antique gun collection, including many of the firearms previously owned by Purvis himself
- A champagne toast after the first screening, provided by the current owner of the Purvis home
- A month before the screenings, the library created an exhibit featuring some of their artifacts, including old articles, magazines and books that were either about Purvis or were tied into that time period.
7) Both of these events were also posted to our FaceBook and Twitter accounts, with links to watch the video preview and visit the "Carolina Stories" section of ETV's website.
8) On-air promos played 154 times to promote the various broadcasts.
9) "G-Man" was promoted on three separate segments of the statewide radio program “Your Day” on June 25, June 29 and July 2.
10) The program was featured on the cover and page 2 of our SCENE Members Magazine (pdf), which has a circulation of 30,000+
11) Information about all four screening events and broadcasts were included in our television and radio e-newsletters, which reaches a combined 45,500 people across the state (Sample e-newsletter 1 | Sample e-newsletter 2).The Nickelodeon (pdf) and the Library (pdf) also sent out e-mails to their members.
12) The library sent 300 postcards (pdf) out to folks on their mailing list.
13) Posters were created and hung at both venues to advertise the upcoming screenings. View Nickelodeon Poster (pdf) | View Florence Library Poster (pdf)
14) We worked closely with members of the media to gain free publicity for the project through placements and stories both on television newscasts and in print publications. In the press release we sent out, we included a link back to our online pressroom, where they could watch an almost 4-minute mini-preview of the documentary. We also provided the embed code for the preview, so they could copy and paste the video on the page accompanying their story, giving them a value-added feature to draw more folks to their Web site.
EVALUATION OF SUCCESS/RESULTS/ROI:
1) We garnered 16 print media stories that included placement on front page of three publications, three placements on the cover of the Sunday "Life & Style" (or equivalent) sections, and a placement in a statewide magazine. The ad equivalency for this coverage was over $10,000. View Media Coverage (pdf)
2) We also received electronic media coverage from a Florence television station and two Columbia television stations.
3) Attendance at both of the Florence screenings were standing-room only, with over 500 people in attendance, and over 150 of Alston's books sold. The Nickelodeon screenings were also well attended, raising almost $700. View Photos from Both Events(pdf)
G-MAN THEATRICAL TRAILER
2011 State of the Union Address
Carolina Stories Presents:
This 30-minute long broadcast pays tribute to the 50th anniversary of the sit-in that introduced a new protest strategy and turned the tables on the establishment, while at the same time reinvigorating the Civil Rights movement nationally. The program also honors the “Friendship Nine” and the bold stand the men took in the face of extreme injustice.
On January 31, 1961, ten black students from Friendship College walked into McCrory’s Five and Dime in downtown Rock Hill, SC. They sat down at the lunch counter and ordered hamburgers and soft drinks. They were denied service and told to leave. When they refused, the group was arrested and charged with trespassing.
In previous sit-ins across the South, protestors were arrested, processed by the police, fined and then released, creating a dubious revenue stream from which many municipalities easily profited.
But when the Friendship students went before the judge, they chose to serve their time behind bars. For the first time, not only did the city not collect its $100 per person, it actually had to pay to house and feed the men.
After four days of incarceration, one student did pay his fine and was released. However, the remaining students, known as the “Friendship Nine,” completed their 30 days of hard labor.
Word of their action spread like wildfire, receiving national media attention, including the New York Times. The “Jail, No Bail” strategy became the new tactic that helped galvanize the civil rights protest movement.
Narrated by award-winning actor Keith David, “Jail, No Bail” is a powerful examination of the personal trials and adversities that tested the character and resolve of this group of young men. Through non-violent protest, these strong-willed activists helped compel a nation to abandon segregationist practices between the races.
The program dramatically moves through the 1961 peaceful protest and shares revelations from eight of the surviving members of the Friendship Nine, as well as the tenth student who posted bail. The show also offers never-before-told specifics of this historic demonstration.
This landmark sit-in is also featured on the ETV educational Web site, Road Trip! Through SC Civil Rights History and the newly-created Road Trip! printed map. These tools highlight prominent people, places and events from the civil rights movement in South Carolina from the 1940’s through the early 1970’s. The Road Trip! Through SC Civil Rights History Web site is used in schools throughout South Carolina and can also be accessed nationally by going to www.KnowItAll.org/RoadTrip.
In partnership with the Rock Hill “Jail, No Bail” Steering Committee, ETV will host several community screenings that are FREE and open to the public:
- Sunday, January 30 at 3 p.m.
Commemorative Walk and Re-enactment - "Footsteps from the Past: A March to Freedom"

The Met Celebrates it’s 80th Radio Broadcast Season
Live Saturday afternoon broadcasts on the Toll Brothers-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network begin December 18 with Verdi’s Don Carlo click here for the full 2010–11 broadcast schedule.
The Metropolitan Opera celebrates its 80th season of Saturday Afternoon Radio Broadcasts—the longest-running classical music series in American broadcast history—with a 22-week season featuring many of the world’s greatest operatic artists, beginning December 18. Broadcast live over the Toll Brothers-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network, the season begins with Verdi’s grand epic Don Carlo and continues with 20 additional live matinee performances direct from the Met stage, plus a special archival broadcast of Smetana’s rollicking comic opera The Bartered Bride from 1978.
This season will mark the Saturday Matinee Broadcast premiere of two operas. John Adams will conduct the Met premiere of his opera Nixon in China on February 12, and Rossini’s rarely performed comedy Le Comte Ory will have its broadcast premiere on April 9 in a new Met production by Bartlett Sher that stars Juan Diego Flórez, Diana Damrau, and Joyce DiDonato.
Music Director James Levine, celebrating his 40th anniversary with the Met, will conduct six broadcast performances including the first two installments of director Robert Lepage’s much-heralded new production of Wagner’s four-part cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen. On April 2, Levine leads Das Rheingold, followed by Die Walküre on May 14. The cast of international stars assembled for the Ring includes Bryn Terfel as Wotan; Deborah Voigt as Brünnhilde; Jonas Kaufmann as Siegmund; Stephanie Blythe as Fricka; and Eva-Maria Westbroek, in her Met debut, as Sieglinde. On February 5, Levine conducts Verdi’s powerful Simon Boccanegra, with Dmitri Hvorostovsky in the title role for the first time at the Met, followed on February 19 by Anna Netrebko, Matthew Polenzani, and Mariusz Kwiecien in Donizetti’s playful Don Pasquale. German mezzo-soprano Waltraud Meier returns to the Met as Marie in Berg’s Wozzeck (April 16) with Levine conducting, and the starry quartet of Sondra Radvanovsky, Dolora Zajick, Marcelo Àlvarez, and Dmitri Hvorostovsky sing Verdi’s popular Il Trovatore on April 30, under the Music Director’s baton.
The season-opening Don Carlo, one of the Met’s seven new productions this season, marks the debut of Tony Award-winning director Nicholas Hytner. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts a cast that includes Yonghoon Lee in the title role, Marina Poplavskaya as Elisabeth de Valois, Simon Keenlyside as Rodrigo, and Ferruccio Furlanetto as Philip II. Radio listeners will also hear this season’s new productions of Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov, conducted by Valery Gergiev, directed by Stephen Wadsworth, and starring René Pape in the title role (March 12); and La Traviata, directed by Willy Decker and starring Marina Poplavskaya in her first Met Violettas, with Matthew Polenzani as Alfredo (January 15).
Other broadcast season highlights include Pelléas et Mélisande on January 1, conducted by Berlin Philharmonic principal conductor Simon Rattle in his Met debut; Deborah Voigt making her Met role debut as La Fanciulla del West on January 8 (this season is the 100th anniversary of the world premiere of Fanciulla which took place at the Met on December 10, 1910) ; Georgian soprano Nino Machaidze debuting as Gilda opposite Joseph Calleja as the Duke in Rigoletto (January 22); Sondra Radvanovsky’s first Met performances in the title role of Tosca (January 29); Plácido Domingo and Susan Graham reprising their triumphant star turns in Gluck’s Iphigénie en Tauride (February 26); Renée Fleming as Rossini’s Armida (March 5) and, in her Met role debut, as the Countess in Richard Strauss’s Capriccio (April 23); Natalie Dessay as Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor (March 19); Karita Mattila, Vladimir Galouzine, and Peter Mattei in Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades (March 26); and Violeta Urmana in Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos (May 7).
Special Archive Broadcast
In honor of James Levine’s 40th anniversary season with the Met, a special broadcast from the Met’s archives will air on December 25: Smetana’s The Bartered Bride, a work Levine has conducted to tremendous acclaim in two full runs at the Met and on tour with the Met Orchestra. The December 2, 1978 performance featured Levine leading an exceptional cast that included Teresa Stratas, Nicolai Gedda, Jon Vickers, and Martti Talvela.
Intermission Features
The Met will continue the celebration of James Levine’s 40th anniversary season with a series of intermission features in which the Maestro and a host of great artists—including Renée Fleming, James Morris, Renata Scotto, Christa Ludwig, Sherrill Milnes, Frederica von Stade, and former concertmaster Raymond Gniewek—will share their reminiscences of working together.
Host Margaret Juntwait, now in her seventh season, will be joined once again in the broadcast booth by commentator Ira Siff, now in his fourth season. The live Backstage Interviews and the popular Toll Brothers-Metropolitan Opera Quiz, hosted by a variety of artists, return this season as part of the broadcast intermission features. As always, a host of Met singers, directors, and designers will visit the broadcast booth to discuss their current productions with the company.
