You probably know about the switch to digital broadcasting that television stations need to make. The transition date was originally set for February 17, but has been extended until June 12, 2009. Michigan Television has already made this switch, and was the first public TV station in the state to be broadcasting entirely in digital. That means when you watch Michigan Television, you get a better picture, and have more program choices, since we now broadcast over the air on Channel 28.1, and 28.2.

Acts of Art: The Prison Creative Arts Project
Every year, U-M professors, Janie Paul and Buzz Alexander, along with various volunteers, travel across Michigan to visit prisons and collect art for an annual exhibit of prison art at the University of Michigan. Now in its 13th year, the show has become the largest exhibit of prison art in the country, with hundreds of prisoners participating. While art-making has always been part of prison life, this exhibition in the 'outside' world, no less at a prestigious university, has generated work unlike that of any other state. Acts of Art will broadcast on all PBS stations across Michigan in March and April. More.. |
