We are sometimes inspired by a person whose influence leaves its mark, but doesn’t take root instantly. For Anne Melvin, it was her grandmother who stamped a passion for classical music in her heart by always playing her record collection. Anne says a switch went on as she became an adult and her devotion to classical music deepened, despite it being the era of The Beatles and rock ‘n’ roll.
Anne was born in Columbus and grew up in Long Island and Chicago. She returned after graduating from Smith College with a degree in Art History and soon married Columbus attorney Noel Melvin.
Anne spent three years in the mid-1970s studying music history at Capital University, before joining WOSU to work in the music library where she says “every day was different and a joy.” For eight years she worked the afternoon shift at WOSU radio.
Anne Melvin has devoted her life in central Ohio to growing an appreciation of classical music and supporting the genre. Her recent gift to WOSU Public Media was critical to
creating Classical 101, one of the rare 24-hour classical music stations in the country. As she says, “it’s a moral imperative to make sure classical music grows and is sustained.”
On April 30th, WOSU proudly honored Anne Melvin’s lifetime devotion to the arts and classical music by naming the Anne Melvin Classical Music Studio, where Classical 101 is regularly hosted by our talented team. You’ll hear mention of the Melvin Studio throughout the day on Classical 101.
Anne is challenging others with a passion for classical music to help sustain Classical 101 through contributions and estate gift planning. Please contact Amy Milbourne at amy.milbourne@wosu.org or (614) 292-9678 to help with the WOSU Classical Campaign.
“I remember how much Anne cared—both for the staff and entire operation at WOSU. She was so glad to be part of a radio service that provided endless hours of classical music to central Ohioans.” — Mary Hoffman, former Music and Program Director,
and host of “The Classics” on WOSU FM, 1966–1988

Columbus Neighborhoods, the Emmy® award-winning documentary series and community engagement project, returns this fall with the premiere of South Side on Monday, September 16 at 8pm on WOSU TV.
Once an industrial center anchored by Federal Glass and Buckeye Steel, residents still use the phrase “Steel and Glass” to describe its heritage. Many of them are descendants of the Hungarians, Croats, and Appalachians—black and white—who found jobs at those once-thriving manufacturers.
The documentary looks at how the sons and daughters of Appalachian migrants and Hungarian immigrants return to the South Side to celebrate their heritage with festivals, church dinners, traditional dancers, and jam sessions.
Columbus Neighborhoods: South Side documents the rise and fall of established industries and explores the impact Nationwide Children’s Hospital has had on the neighborhood. It examines how churches and institutions are partnering to address substandard housing, health care and other critical needs; and the love for the neighborhood that inspires suburbanites to come back every Sunday for church and moves people who grew up on the South Side to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to create a community center in a historic school.
Columbus Neighborhoods: South Side also explores the resurgence of historic neighborhoods such as Merion Village, where Jenny Brodie and other young residents are fixing up old houses that are conveniently located to downtown.
“My mom told me that she always wanted to live in a neighborhood where everyone hung out on their porches and knew each other,” Brodie says. “My block is full of young people and we all park on the street so we’ve
Columbus Neighborhoods: South Side PremieresMonday, September 16 at 8pm on WOSU TV
In the 60s and 70s, bluegrass clubs that catered to Appalachians who worked in South Side industries flourished on Parsons Ave.
A boxing program at Barrack Recreation Center was a gathering place for area athletes.
This month, two new members will join 20 others on the Friends of WOSU Board—Allen Coleman and Emily Howard.
Allen Coleman currently is the Digital Media and Instructional Technology Coordinator for the Colleges for the Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University. Coleman is pursuing his Ph.D. in Education and Human Ecology and has been with Ohio State since 1996, working on the Early Literacy Learning Initiative as well as in various Information Systems roles.
Emily Howard is the Director, Marketing and Creative Services, at the Department of Recreational Sports, also at Ohio State. Howard is originally from Michigan and has held marketing communications posts at a nonprofit in Michigan and at Ohio University, before coming to Ohio State.
The Friends of WOSU Board has served since 1972 as a community advocate for WOSU Public Media. Board members commit to serving the mission of WOSU Public Media for a minimum of three (3) years and are eligible for two terms.

89.7 NPR News & Classical 101 Highlights
R A D I O H I G H L I G H T S
The All-Day NPR News Station
Choosing Here & Now—An Inside LookRadio is perhaps the most personal medium. Radio is your companion as you wake up, prepare meals, drive to work, and even take a shower. The strength of that personal connection with individual listeners is most evident when we change programming.
In March, we were as surprised as our listeners when NPR announced the end of Talk of the Nation’s 22-year run. Neal Conan, Ken Rudin and the Talk of the Nation staff are great friends of WOSU Public Media and the show served 89.7 listeners very well. But NPR’s decision left WOSU with the opportunity and challenge of selecting a new program for weekday afternoons.
We considered every option, from totally re-arranging our midday schedule, to simply replacing Talk of the Nation with another program. The many providers of public radio programs offered very compelling alternatives.
We chose NPR’s new midday news magazine, Here & Now which now airs on 89.7 from 2pm–4pm Monday through Thursday. Here & Now offers our listeners a great public radio program but it sounds much different than Talk of the Nation. While Neal Conan and his guests covered one to two topics per hour, Here & Now covers at least six stories per hour; research shows that’s what public radio listeners want. Midday listeners tune in and out as they run errands, work around the house or listen between meetings at the office. Here & Now provides the perfect balance between in-depth non-sensational reporting and a variety of topics.
As a newsmagazine, Here & Now does not take listener phone calls, and we miss hearing people from Columbus offering their insight on NPR. But we felt that All Sides with Ann
Fisher (10am–noon) and On Point (1pm–2pm)
provide 89.7 listeners the chance to participate in the discussion while Here
& Now fills the news gap between Morning
Edition and All Things Considered. And the new format
makes NPR better equipped to cover major breaking news for 89.7 listeners.
Of course, the biggest change is the hosts. Here & Now’s Robin Young and Jeremy Hobson sound very different than Neal Conan, but we feel they are the perfect complement to Ann Fisher, Fresh Air’s Terry Gross and On Point’s Tom Ashbrook.
Even after we settled on Here & Now, we had to decide what to do with Science Friday—Talk of the Nation’s long-running science program. Many stations stopped airing Science Friday, or moved it to another time slot, preferring to
have Here & Now on their schedules Monday through Friday. With Columbus home to many scientific research organizations—Ohio State University, Battelle, Chemical Abstracts, and Ashland Chemical—we felt Science Friday was the best choice for our listeners, so we kept it on Fridays from 2pm–4 pm.
When a radio station changes its programming it can eliminate a beloved daily companion for many of our listeners. We know that, and we give great thought to our decisions. But like in their personal lives, listeners make new friends. We fully expect Here & Now’s Robin Young and Jeremy Hobson will provide the friendly voices to keep 89.7 NPR News listeners company and informed weekday afternoons.

The arrival of Labor Day can only mean one thing: summer vacation season is over and it’s back to the three R’s. But not so fast: during September on The American Sound we’ll make time for the last gasp of summer with music for the back-to-school bustle, even as we enjoy a Labor Day weekend of (hopefully) a little late summer lazing about. We’ll explore American classical music’s bluegrass roots on "Bluegrassical," a special edition of The American Sound. And we’ll open the Columbus concert season with a performance by the spectacular American vocal ensemble Cantus.

Check Out the Changes for SeptemberEvery year in May, PBS reveals to the station programmers the new shows for the upcoming television season. It’s our first chance to get a look at what’s coming and there are lots of good programs in the pipeline! Here’s a quick review of what you can look forward to in September.
This year, WOSU TV starts the new television season in early September with a brand new PBS NewsHour Weekend edition. Like the weekday PBS NewsHour, PBS NewsHour Weekend will feature a summary of the day's national and international news, and original in-depth field reporting. Anchored by Hari Sreenivasan, the PBS NewsHour Weekend will air Saturday and Sunday evenings at 5:30pm beginning September 7. This means there will be some changes to the weekend schedule, so be sure to check the listings.
Sundays continue to be drama night on WOSU TV. I’m sure you’ve all heard by now that Season Four of Masterpiece Classic: Downton Abbey is set to premiere on Sunday, January 5, 2014. If you can’t wait that long, WOSU TV will air encore presentations of Downton Abbey Seasons One and Two on Saturday nights throughout September and October beginning September 14.
I’ve also heard from many viewers that they would like to see an encore presentation of Call the Midwife. So beginning Sunday, September 8 at 7pm we will air encores of Season One and Two of Call the Midwife. A brand new Season Three is scheduled to air in the spring of 2014. But don’t change the channel when Call the Midwife ends because beginning at 8pm is a brand new drama from the folks at the BBC. Last Tango in Halifax was voted best new drama in England last year
and now it’s here on WOSU TV! Last Tango in Halifax
stars Derek Jacobi and Anne Reid as widowers who reunite after 60 years via Facebook, only to discover that first love
can sometimes be ageless.
If you enjoy Antiques Roadshow, you’re sure to like Genealogy Roadshow premiering Monday, September 23 at 8pm. Genealogy Roadshow takes an historical look into a community by exploring the genealogy of its citizens.
Wednesday nights soar out of the gate with Nature’s six part mini-series, Earthflight, A Nature Special Presentation. Premiering on September 4, Earthflight is a breathtaking visual journey of the world from the bird’s-eye view. The producers used state-of-the-art technology and sophisticated camera techniques to show the world from an amazing aerial perspective. This mini-series is visually stunning to watch.
We’re very excited to present South Side, the newest documentary in our Columbus Neighborhoods series. This new special profiles the once industrial neighborhood known as South Side. Its Hungarian immigrants, Appalachian migrants and bustling Jewish neighborhood forged a thriving community that changed with the times. Columbus Neighborhoods: South Side premieres Monday, September 16 at 8pm.
Lots of good things are in store for our viewers in September. But this is just the start of a new television season. October and November will bring even more great national and local specials, including new shows for PBS KIDS®.
