HealthSEVEN ways WITF is working for YOU
WITF television was founded in Hershey 50 years ago by a group of educators who inspired our mission to support lifelong learning—from early childhood through elder maturity. And from their inspiring idea, WITF has grown from a small public television station to the public media resource you listen to, watch and follow every day. Your desire to learn, discover, and live inspired is what drives us.
There are a number of ways that WITF flourished in FY14. In this annual report, we’ve narrowed the list to share the Seven Ways WITF is Working for You and our community.
In FY14, WITF focused on bringing value to you not only as
a news and information resource, but also as a convener for great ideas that connect us to one another. So many of you start your day with us, invite us into your home and car, and share information you’ve heard and learned with people close to you. You have become a part of our family, and in turn, we have become a part of yours.
Of course, the most distinguishing feature of WITF is YOU. You are counted among our biggest fans: from WITF employees, to volunteers like our board members, and many others. You invest in WITF because you know that WITF has been improving our lives and giving freely to our community for the past 50 years.
It is only through your support that WITF is able to improve lives in our community. Thank you for making the choice to make a difference in the lives of all of us. Together we are creating a better, more educated, and more INSPIRED central Pennsylvania. ■

The philosophy of the WITF News Department is to help listeners, viewers, and readers better understand the complex issues facing central Pennsylvania and how policy decisions affect their lives. By providing credible, accurate and honest reporting, WITF reporters work to bring a uniquely human voice to each and every story. In a continuously changing media environment, WITF has strengthened its reporting on several underreported issues: StateImpact Pennsylvania looks at the Commonwealth’s energy economy; Transforming Health reports on the changing face of the health care industry; and Keystone Crossroads is delving into the key issues facing Pennsylvania cities and communities. Transforming Health helps Pennsylvanians understand
the changing tide of health care. From reactive to preventative medicine, to navigating the twists and turns of the complex Affordable Care Act, the project provides important information and dispels myths during a time of significant change. Access to affordable, quality healthcare is just one of the many issues that hits close to home for all of us in Central PA. Our mission is to take a closer look at key issues and the new health policies that are transforming the places that we live and the way that we live. It’s an exciting time and Transforming Health serves as a valuable community resource informing healthcare consumers every step of the way.
KEYSTONE CROSSROADS
Keystone Crossroads is our new venture into
“deep dive” reporting. WITF teamed with WHYY in
Philadelphia, WESA in Pittsburgh and WPSU in State
College to explore the root causes and possible
solutions to the urban crisis facing
Pennsylvania cities and communities.
THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT IN PA
The complexity and multiple facets of the Affordable Care Act
inspired Transforming Health to launch the online tool
Getting Covered: The Affordable Care Act in PA. This online guide was
designed to help simplify the process by allowing users to assess
their health care needs before shopping for health insurance.
This comprehensive tool is the first of its kind in Pennsylvania
and features video, audio, calculators and other resources
such as a glossary of insurance terms, expert Q&As,
and personal stories about searching for insurance.
HEALTH
It’s about your health.

HealthSmart, a WITF original television production, tackled health issues that matter to Pennsylvania residents. During FY14, the show focused on chronic disease, informal caregiving, pharmaceutical drugs and much more. HealthSmart provides valuable information to viewers while also connecting them with each other and with helpful resources in the community. The Emmy award-winning show is currently in its ninth season.
HealthSmart also reached viewers and listeners through HealthSmart in a Minute and Be HealthSmart. During FY14, these shorter shows offered easily digestible tips on everything from caregiver stress to prescription painkiller storage.

WITF Education Services helps early educators network and manage resources through educational workshops. Additionally, families engage and learn together through programming and family events, and children have fun while learning with their favorite PBS characters.
CHILDREN’S GRIEF FORUM
In FY14, WITF organized I’m Here With You: A Forum
on Children & Grief. The forum was designed to equip
teachers, families and caregivers with the tools to support
children and attempt to understand their grief process.
The goal was to help adults feel more confident
in talking with children about these complicated and
often confusing feelings. With a keynote address by
Marcie Taylor, vice president of Drew’s Hope, and a
panel discussion featuring local experts, participants
learned together and asked thoughtful questions.
A resource-rich tool kit was available to participants.
Volunteers are at the heart of every
WITF Education event. In FY14, about 70
volunteers helped to facilitate children’s
events throughout the WITF region.
From helping children build castles out of
toothpicks and marshmallows at Ready,
Set, Explore events to preparing snacks
for the WITFs Central PA Spelling Bee,
WITF volunteers are an essential part of
making fun and learning happen
for our community.

IN FY14, WITF TV AND PBS KIDS
debuted PEG + CAT, an animated math-based series for
children 3-5 years old. PEG + CAT inspires preschool
children to see math as exciting, accessible, and fun and
includes the daily TV show, a mobile app, a robust digital
experience at pbskids.org/peg and related offline activities
that families can enjoy together. Fans of PEG + CAT were
excited to see their new favorite show represented at
WITF’s Ready, Set, Go…Kindergarten! event. The series is
produced by The Fred Rogers Company and
9 Story Entertainment.
Events for children and families are a priority for WITF.

Bringing audience together to meet one another and enthusiastically contribute to the ideas and conversations sparked by WITF public media programs and initiatives is an important piece of community engagement work. WITF led and participated in community and cultural events throughout the region and also encouraged more of the public to use the Public Media Center for PBS program screening events, artist receptions, discussion forums and more. In FY14 just over 2,000 visitors toured the WITF Public Media Center, a 44% increase over last year. In addition, more than 1,800 people attended community events like receptions and forums held at the Public Media Center.
WITF is committed to collaborating with other institutions, professionals and individuals to increase community engage-ment opportunities throughout our region. Throughout FY14, WITF had the benefit of exploring partnerships with a wide range of community institutions including Harrisburg Regional Chamber of Commerce, Central Penn Parent, Dauphin County Parks and Recreation, Chisuk Emuna, corporate partners and many others.
WITF has always recognized the vital role of arts and culture in our lives and given them a central place in programming and coverage. Whether it is illuminating history with a TV show like Downton Abbey, or encouraging budding talent to find recognition in our writing contest, or raising awareness of regional artists and arts organizations through special coverage, WITF promotes the qualities of culture that enrich our minds and give added meaning to our lives.
WITF TV takes viewers to performances that aren’t available anywhere else in Central Pennsylvania in person or on television. The ongoing series Great Performances provided viewers with memorable performances and breathtaking video during the 75th Anniversary of Tanglewood, Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night Concert, and monthly presentations of opera from The Met. Sunday evening’s Masterpiece presents some of the best drama and mystery on TV with critically acclaimed series like Downton Abbey, Sherlock, and Mr. Selfridge.
ART AND NEWS, OVER BREWS
In FY14, art and news came together over brews
when WITF opened the doors to the Public Media
Center for a complimentary mixer event featuring
a wine and cheese reception with exhibiting
photographer, J. Arthur Davis AND the chance to
meet the WITF news team over brews. The event
drew more than 100 members of the community
and the WITF news team appreciated great
conversations and a few good brews with WITF fans.ARTS AND CULTURE
In FY14 WITF’s Arts and Culture coverage reached out
purposefully to explore the richness of the diversity of
communities in the region, both geographically and culturally.
An artistic revival in Waynesboro, a connection with composer
Richard Wagner in Perry County, the antiques culture in
Adamstown, the growth of Indian arts and community in
Lancaster, an exploration of the Susquehanna River, and a
connection with the history of falconry in Boiling Springs, were
just a few of the regional treasures highlighted.

Community support is the largest source of revenue for
the programming and operation of WITF. In FY14, WITF
began offering a Sustaining Circle membership, allowing
supporters to make an ongoing monthly contribution
billed directly to a credit card or deducted from a checking
account. This budget-friendly method of providing support
is a worry-free, no fuss way to sustain WITF on-air and
in the community. And the growing number of WITF
Sustaining Circle Members is evidence that it’s a popular
addition. Members keep us strong and make it possible
for WITF to fulfill its mission each and every day.
WITF Underwriting is proud to partner with the businesses on this page as well as the many, many more that help to support the quality programming that only Public Media can provide.
Just as these businesses support WITF, it is our goal to provide each of them with underwriting and sponsorship opportunities that will best connect them to the educated, affluent, Central PA community that is the WITF listening and viewing audience.
