1. California At War
KCET One-Hour Special Reveals
the Lasting Impact of World War II
on California
California at War, a one-hour special from the award-winning
series California Connected, is the story of how World War II
changed California and how California changed the war.
“World War II was a turning point for California; some have
called it a second ‘Gold Rush’ in the sense that the war fast
forwarded California into the future,” says Bret Marcus
producer and KCET Vice President of Programming, Publicity
and Promotion.“California began its transformation from a
sleepy West Coast enclave to the mega state it is today.There
are historians in this program who argue that victory would
not have been possible without the production, technology
and troops provided by California.”
Anchored by veteran journalist Judy Muller, California at
War interviews dozens of veterans, eyewitnesses and histo-
rians including former state librarian and historian Kevin Starr, author Walter Mosley and Hollywood legend
Mickey Rooney, among others. The story is also told through archival film and stills—some of which are
being shown for the first time ever.
California at War tells its story in six sections. The“Prologue” looks at the early forties when Californians
enjoyed the good life, a world away from war-torn Europe. “The War at Our Doorstop” takes us to the days
and months directly after Pearl Harbor, when California actually became a target of Japanese submarines
off the coast, culminating in the “Battle of L.A.,” which began after a false radio report that Los Angeles was
under attack. The “War Against Ourselves” takes a frank look at the“war” against non-whites­
—from the
internment of more than a hundred thousand Japanese-Americans to the targeting of Mexican-Americans
in the “Zoot Suit Riots.” “The War Machine” speaks to the role California played in becoming both a defense
industry powerhouse and a staging ground for the war in the Pacific.“The Homefront” tells the story of the
role Hollywood played – from propaganda films to the famed“Hollywood Canteen,” where celebrities enter-
tained the troops. Finally,“The Legacy” captures the joy and elation of VJ Day celebrations, and the war time
innovations and industries that would have a lasting impact on the state.
The special will air September 20 at 8 p.m. in conjunction with the premiere of Ken Burns’ PBS documentary
series The War.
California at War is made possible through generous contributions from the Annenberg Foundation,
Elizabeth Hofert Dailey Trust, the California Endowment and the Kaiser Family Foundation.
KCET Toasts BP’s Bob Malone
and wife Diane
at the 2007 Visionary Award Gala
The Grand Ballroom of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel was transformed into
a dazzling Texas ranch-inspired fantasy land for the 9th Annual KCET
Visionary Award Dinner and Gala. Past Visionary Award recipient Eli Broad
served as Dinner Committee Chair and welcomed nearly 400 guests to
honor BP America Chairman and President Bob Malone and his wife, Diane.
The Visionary Award honors individuals who have improved the lives of
others through their support of the arts and culture, healthcare, educa-
tion and children’s causes. Guests from Washington, DC to Houston to Los
Angeles filled the historic ballroom to honor and celebrate the BP family’s
accomplishments.
The evening opened with a cocktail reception that featured Patrón marga-
ritas, southwestern flavored hors d’oeuvres and a serenade by Los Angeles’
celebrated Mariachi Los Toros. Inspired by the Malone’s Texas LLR ranch, the
ballroom’s décor was uniquely southwestern-themed.The entrance was
trellised with vines and roses, and the ballroom adorned with weathered
wood wagon wheels, brush, and desert landscaping to create a Texas-sized event. Enormous wrought-iron
table center-pieces were erected with tightly packed yellow roses and glass encased candles. In addition,
bejeweled-broach napkin rings were given to guests as gala mementos.“Asleep at the Wheel,” the nine-time
Emmy®-winning “Kings of Texas Swing” performed several rousing renditions of standards from the Lone
Star state.
The highlight of the evening was Al Jerome’s announcement that BP would not only underwrite the cost of
the entire event, but would make a generous
additional contribution to push the net proceeds
from the fundraiser to more than $1 million.
BP’s commitment of $25 million for A Place
of Our Own and Los Niños en su Casa, KCET’s
signature childcare provider series, is the largest
single donation in the station’s 43-year history.
This unprecedented generosity and support got
the attention of PBS President and CEO Paula
Kerger, who traveled from Washington, DC to
attend the event. BP’s commitment to KCET
enables A Place of Our Own and Los Niños en su
Casa to be distributed nationally, through PBS,
to its member stations and the internet.

KCET Tops Los Angeles
Area Emmy®
Awards at
59th Annual Ceremony
Winning more awards in a single ceremony than at any previous
time in its 43-year history, KCET won six statuettes at the 59th
Los Angeles Area Emmy® Awards held Saturday, August 25.The
wins followed 15 nominations in eight categories that often saw
KCET productions competing against each other. In addition, the
station tied with KNBC for most wins for the evening.
California Connected, which just
premiered“California at War,” (article on
Page 1) won five of the six KCET awards,
the most received by any one program.
As a program, California Connected won
Emmys for Information/Public Affairs
series; Crime/Social Issues (“War Stories
from Ward 7-D,” the DuPont-Columbia
award winning half hour about Iraqi war
vets with Traumatic Brain Injuries); and
Information Programming (“Troubled
Waters,” about the most polluted river in
North America). California Connected also won two prestigious
craft awards: an Emmy for Non-News Writing and an Emmy for
Non-News Videography.
Life & Times, the station’s signature news and public affairs
series, won the Emmy for best Feature for an engaging segment
on Laurel Canyon’s famous dog park.
KCET received the third highest total number of nominations,but
due to the nature of its programming, all of them fell in only eight
of the 45 award categories. In those eight categories,
KCET received 15 of the 27 nominations and won six of
the eight categories in which it competed.
“In a broader sense, the nominations themselves were
the true accomplishment and we are extremely grati-
fied to be recognized by the Academy,” notes Al Jerome,
KCET President and CEO.
Mary Mazur, KCET Executive Vice President of
Programming and Production adds,“KCET has an
incredibly dedicated team of people in front of and
behind the camera. Congratulations to the winners, the
nominees and all of the KCET staff who work tirelessly
to deliver the quality programming KCET produces.”

2. Donor Spotlight
Women’s Council Honors
Ernest Lieblich
More than 11 years ago, during a visit to KCET, Ernest Lieblich was astounded at the delightful
paintings on the walls created by elementary students who had taken part in the KCET Women’s
Council Festival of Student Art. Ernest, businessman and ardent supporter of the arts, is a man
of many talents who says he has been an artist for as long as he can remember. He is known by
others — including the Women’s Council — as a philanthropist and a person of demonstrated
accomplishment.
For more than 30 years, the Women’s Council has worked with local public and private schools to
gather student paintings that are exhibited at local arts venues.The women, however, had always
wanted to add another element to the Festival and find a way to display the paintings in a facility
where they might inspire other children.
In a masterful stroke, Ernest initiated collaboration between the Women’s Council and the City of
Hope that resulted in a new tradition: each year, a new collection of Festival paintings has hung
in the corridors of the pediatric wing of the Brawerman Building at City of Hope, bringing joy to
young patients and artists.
Over the years, the Women’s Council added venues for display, which benefit children and visi-
tors at the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital; UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital; St. Joseph’s Hospital
in Burbank, and temporary displays in the California Science Center in Los Angeles and, most
recently, the Barnsdall Junior Arts Center.
Ernest visited the June 2007 exhibit of the Festival of
Student Art at Barnsdall and expressed an imme-
diate love of a particular piece.With the enthusiastic
support of the young artist and her parents,
members of the Women’s Council presented Ernest
with that painting at a small reception at KCET.
Terri Zaelke,chair of the 2007 Festival of Student Art,
and Louise Peebles expressed the Council’s thanks
and appreciation to Ernest Lieblich for his continuous
support of,and dedication to, the arts. Because of his
11 years of enthusiastic support of the Festival project,
the Women’s Council and KCET,all were thrilled to
find a way to say thank you and happy 92nd birthday
to a truly generous and extraordinary man.

In the last issue of ViewPoint (issue 15) in the article entitled
“Dailey’s Legacy”, Elizabeth Hofert Dailey’s illness was incor-
rectly noted as asthma. In fact, she was afflicted by arthritis.
ViewPoint regrets the error.
The Elizabeth Hofert Dailey Trust continues to support
KCET, most recently through a generous grant to support
the production California at War (See article on Page 1) and a
second grant to support the KCET Saturday Night Movie.
kcet cultural partner spotlight
The Hollywood Bowl
KCET and the iconic
Hollywood Bowl have
a mutually successful
relationship going
back more than 15
years. KCET, as a media
partner, promotes
the summer concert
series and in return,
The Hollywood Bowl
promotes their connec-
tion to the station by
displaying “KCET”
prominently on the
Hollywood Bowl sign
on Highland Boulevard
at the entrance to the venue and featuring KCET in print
materials. Additionally, KCET is acknowledged as a sponsor
of 2 nights during the Hollywood Bowl season.
The Hollywood Bowl was recently named “Best Major
Outdoor Concert Venue” by Pollstar magazine for the third
straight year and is one of the most renowned summer
cultural venues in the United States. It has been the summer
home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic since 1922.
The 2007 summer season spans 14 weeks from June 22 to
September 30, and includes presentations of classical music
by the Los Angeles Philharmonic; popular weekend shows
with the Philharmonic and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra;
jazz; world music; pop; rock; and special presentations, as
well as family and educational programs. In the past KCET
has been the media sponsor of concerts such as the 4th of
July Tchaikovsky Spectacular, and John Williams concerts.
Each year KCET members have an opportunity to win a pair
of tickets to one of the KCET sponsored concerts through
KCET’s e-newsletter. This year KCET sponsored South Pacific
with Reba McIntyre and Brian-Stokes Mitchell. (These stars
were also in the production of South Pacific that aired on
KCET.) The second concert sponsored by KCET this year was
Sgt. Peppers at 40: A Beatles Celebration.
As the 2007 season comes to a close, Philharmonic Music
Director Esa-Pekka Salonen returns to conduct two
programs in September. The first includes his own work for
orchestra,“Foreign Bodies.” Closing that program is Mahler’s
Symphony No. 1.
Acclaimed conductor Leonard Slatkin conducts bassist
Edgar Meyer and pianist Michel Camilo in an all-American
program that includes Copland’s Appalachian Spring
Suite, Meyer’s Double Bass Concerto No. 2, Schuller’s Seven
Studies on Themes of Paul Klee and Gershwin’s Rhapsody
in Blue. In the final Thursday concert of the summer, cellist
Lynn Harrell joins Slatkin and the orchestra for Dvorák’s
Cello Concerto, in a program that also includes Copland’s
Symphony No. 3, one of Slatkin’s signature works.
The “Weekend Spectaculars” series concludes with the
annual Fireworks Finale with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.
Pink Martini will bring its blend of Latin rhythms, jazz
and European chic in a tribute to the Coconut Grove, the
legendary nightclub of the Ambassador Hotel.

3. Val and Placido,
A Night at the Opera
by Val Zavala
This past June I served at the
honorary chair for the 10th
Annual Placido Domingo
Awards Dinner, a fundraiser
put on by Hispanics for L.A.
Opera. The proceeds go to the
Opera’s educational outreach
program which brings thou-
sands of school kids to the
Music Center to see an opera—
often their first.
A few years ago I did a story
on the outreach program.
One thing led to another and
earlier this year the President
of Hispanics for L.A. Opera,
Dolores Richardson, asked me
if I would be the honorary chair
for this year’s award dinner. I
was happy to help out.
The dinner followed a perfor-
mance of “Luisa Fernanda,”
which is a form of opera that
Placido Domingo has been
wanting to bring to L.A for a long time. It is from his home-
land. It is a lighter form of opera called Zarzuela. His parents
produced and performed in many Zarzuelas when Placido
was growing up. In fact, in “Luisa Fernanda,” Placido took the
part his father once played decades ago. So it is very near to
his heart.
I did an interview with Placido on Life & Times which aired
a few days before the awards dinner. The event was a great
success, sold out. Honorees were Vinyl Technologies and
Emilio Sagi the director of “Luisa Fernanda.”
It was a wonderful way for me to learn more about
opera—and get my picture taken with El Maestro!
KCET “Cybermural” Featured in
New York Times
KCET’s first release of its documentary web series
Departures was the subject of a feature in the“Arts and
Leisure” section of the New York Times on Sunday, August
12. Departures “Boyle Heights” is the conception of KCET
web producer Juan Devis who was featured prominently
in the in-depth article accompanied by large color images
from the website.
Dubbed a“cybermural”by New York Times writer Carol Kino,
Departures“Boyle Heights”is an interactive multi-media
online experience of the East Los Angeles neighborhood
of the same name.The site, which was featured in the last
issue of ViewPoint, includes interviews with local residents
in Spanish and English, music, multi focal point images of
the neighborhood and video.
Devis and Associate Producer, Bijan Rezvani, began the project in May 2006. Departures has gone on to
win several international and national digital-media awards since it was published last fall. Devis has also
garnered awards for his work on the websites for KCET’s series for childcare givers, A Place of Our Own and
Los Niños en su Casa.
Kudos to KCET New Media department, Juan and Bijan, on the great “ink” in the venerable New York Times.

PBS Puts Promotional Punch into
KCET’s Wired Science
KCET’s next-generation science and technology series, Wired Science, produced in association with
Wired Magazine, premieres on PBS in October. PBS is pulling out all of the stops to promote the series.
Promotional spots will air nation-
ally throughout Ken Burns’ 14 hour
mega documentary The War. Ken
Burns’ specials have garnered some
of the highest ratings in the history
of PBS and The War is expected to
be no exception.
“Our long-term goal is to grow
Wired Science into a year-round
weekly series,” said John Wilson,
PBS Senior Vice President and
Chief TV Programming Executive.
Since 1993, Wired magazine has
chronicled the people, companies,
technologies and ideas that are
transforming the world around us. Wired magazine and wired.com reach over 6 million readers per
month. By combining the breakout journalism, irreverent attitude and award-winning design of Wired
magazine, Wired Science will untangle the complex ideas and introduce the people defining 21st-century
culture and innovation. The goal is to provide a science series that will entertain, inform and inspire
current PBS viewers while building new audiences that
identify with the tech-savey content of Wired magazine.
KCET will also use cutting-edge technology on the
production side. To enable Wired Science to be produced
entirely in High Definition, which is required by PBS for
the series, KCET created an HD production control room
complete with HD cameras for both the studio and the
field as well as HD systems for editing. The series is being
produced for multiple platforms, including applications
such as mobile phones.
Wired Science includes a comprehensive online presence
at pbs.org/wiredscience. In addition to including each of
the episodes, the site will offer web-exclusive extras with
more detail on stories and people seen on the series. The
hosts and correspondents will be blogging and writing
extended content. The site will also include educational
components for students and educators.
Wired Science is made possible by a generous grant from
the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Premiers Wednesday, October 3, 8 p.m.

Bracing for A Quake,
a win-win for KCET and
California
Bracing for a Quake: A Survival
Guide, the newly updated and
expanded one-hour earthquake
preparedness special airing on
KCET, offers 80 practical tips for
earthquake preparedness.
This special is an expanded version
of the program originally produced
in 2004 with a production budget
of only $10,000. The program,
aired many times since as a pledge
special, has raised more than
$300,000 for KCET.
Life & Times Anchor Val Zavala
teamed up with Jason Shoultz
from Sacramento’s KVIE to host the
expanded version and have offered
it to public television stations throughout California. The
program will premiere later this year on many PBS affiliates
statewide.
Bracing for a Quake: A Survival Guide gets expert advice
from Joyce Harris with the L.A. County Office of Emergency
Management, Bob Spears, Director of Emergency Services for
the L.A.U.S.D., and Bill Stout of the Orange County Chapter of
the American Red Cross.
Viewers learn how to reduce earthquake hazards in their
homes and offices and what to do if they’re on the freeway,
shopping, or in a crowded public place. Other topics
covered include the pros and cons of earthquake insur-
ance, communication devices, preparing a plan for your
family and neighborhood; and of course, what to include
in a well-equipped earthquake kit. (KCET offers an earth
quake preparedness starter kit as a pledge premium.) Advice
is presented in a simple and informative “show-and-tell”
format with visits to a typical California family’s home, an
office and a school.

PBS Rolls Out New Kids
Programming
Fall promises to be an exciting season for PBS KIDS. In September, WORDWORLD,
and WORDGIRL, and Super WHY! join Curious George, Dragon Tales, Clifford the Big
Red Dog and other favorites in a new“block” of entertaining, informative children’s
programming on KCET.These new programs add technological innovations to
increase both entertainment and education value to KCET’s lineup.With interactive
adventures, 3-D animation, and highly developed characters, the programs will maxi-
mize the number of positive learning experiences for children.
Super WHY!
Super WHY! is the only preschool program created to help kids learn the fundamen-
tals of reading through interactive storybook adventures. The program represents a
unique approach to preschool educational television, featuring a team of superhero
characters with literacy-based powers, who jump into books to look for answers to
everyday problems. The home viewer is the superhero sidekick, who is encouraged
and empowered to participate in the reading adventure by playing research-based
literacy games.
Weekdays 9 a.m.
WORDWORLD
A 3-D animated series,
WordWorld encourages
three- to five-year-old chil-
dren to become friends with
words. WordWorld playfully
brings words to life through
a patent-pending method-
ology that embeds words into
the objects they represent.
In each episode, children
will join the ensemble cast
of WordFriends™—Dog,
Sheep, Frog, Duck, Pig and
Ant—as they explore their
world of words. WordWorld’s
humorous storylines focus
on age-appropriate social-emotional lessons while introducing preschoolers to key
literacy-based skills, such as letter recognition and phonological awareness.
Weekdays, 10:30 a.m.
WordGirl
A sure favorite with elementary school students, WORDGIRL chronicles the madcap
adventures of Becky Botsford, a mild-mannered fifth grader who, at the call of duty,
transforms into WordGirl – caped crusader and definition dynamo! This super
heroine-in-disguise uses vocabulary to defeat outlaws bent on“WORD” domination.
With the help of her faithful monkey sidekick, Captain Huggy Face,WordGirl spends
each episode defeating a quirky cast of villainous villains – from“Dr.Two-Brains” to
“The Butcher” – with her power punches and dictionary strength. WORDGIRL will
introduce children to an array of new and sophisticated words in a context that is fun.
Fridays, 3 p.m.
Iraq: News in Transition
on kcet.org
From the televised speeches of Lyndon Johnson to Walter Cronkite’s
public denouncement of the war, television shaped America’s public
perception of Vietnam.
Thanks to the 24-hour news-cycle and the rise of CNN, what began
in Vietnam more than 30 years ago came full circle during Operation
Desert Storm.
Today, with the invasion of Iraq, a new era of journalism has begun.
The highly politicized affair that led us to the war and continues to fuel
the debate over our role in the region, and the compliance of the major
news corporations as to what the public should know about the war,
has left a skeptical American citizenry hungry for the truth, or a least,
their version of the truth.
With changes in technology and the
introduction of self-publishing web
tools, such as blogs and video-sharing
sites like You Tube and the British
based Liveleak, which hold hundreds of
amateur (and disturbing) war videos,
these events are but one click away.
This “laptop-war” as some people refer
to it, has created an unprecedented amount of DIY (“Do It Yourself”)
reporting, from mobile-phone videos of Saddam’s hanging to e-mail
photographs of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib. These media leaks into
the news-sphere are providing a different perspective on the war. And
although their audience reach will never amount to the vast numbers
of network news viewers, the impact of this new phenomena is being
felt loud and clear.
Through the work of Pulitzer Prize-winner photojournalist Rick Loomis,
the videoblog Alive in Baghdad, a selection of military blogs, and the
PBS documentary Operation Homecoming, this issue of Web Stories on
kcet.org will explore the ways in which new media technologies and
the internet have changed the immediacy, look and veracity of the war,
exposing the limits of our mainstream media and shedding light on
new models of citizen and participatory journalism.
