| A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE |
Over half a century ago, television began the process of revolutionizing the way we view our world.
Since
then, television quickly became America's most pervasive entertainment
medium. Its critics have said it has fallen far short of its potential
as a powerful, informative tool.
Fifty years ago, there were
those in southeastern Wisconsin who recognized this disparity and
believed that television should enrich the community with programs of
substance and meaning.

Like its founders, MPTV Friends' Leadership Circle members are major investors in Milwaukee Public Television. More important, they are our counselors and ambassadors. They enable MPTV to expand its vision of excellence and develop new programs, and to employ cutting edge telecommunications technology and find innovative ways to better serve Southeastern Illinois and Northern Illinois.
In celebration of Milwaukee Public Television achieving its 50th anniversary in 2007, we have
recreated our Leadership Circle benefit opportunities to reflect MPTV's golden age.
