Summer's Over...Lots of Work Ahead of Us 
By Tom Rieland, General Manager

Tom RielandSummer vacation was over and the good Sisters of St. Thomas More elementary rolled out the usual assignment: write a 500 word essay about what we did on our summer vacation. The assignment was often a struggle, except for the year we took a trip to Yellowstone and our campground was attacked by a black bear. My column this month, after the hiatus of Airfare magazine, feels like that summer vacation report. No bears to report, but lots of excitement!

WOSU is thrilled to announce plans to take ownership of the local 101.1 FM radio station this Fall and create Classical 101—Classical music all day, every day for Columbus and linked with WOSU stations in Marion, Portsmouth, and Coshocton to create the Classical 101 network. WOSU’s 89.7 FM station will convert to your all day NPR news station with local talk shows such as All Sides with Ann Fisher and local news coverage. The changes await FCC approval, which is expected soon.
If you have any questions or concerns about Classical 101, email us at classical101@wosu.org.

Two of my best summer days were spent at Friendship Village in Dublin, where we’re developing the new LifeStories project. We’ve compiled 25 interviews with residents and heard both joyous and sad stories of lives well lived. The plan for LifeStories is to move it into all senior resident and adult care facilities in central Ohio. Families receive CDs of the taped stories of their loved ones as heirlooms and WOSU gets to broadcast some of the best of LifeStories in the months to come.

With summer over, October is around the bend and coming next month is the return of our landmark Columbus Neighborhoods series with a focus on German Village.

News from WOSU


The Tenth InningThe Tenth Inning Hits a Home Run on WOSU TV 

Thousands of bats, three home run records, and one “curse” have been broken since Ken Burns last explored the history of America’s national pastime with his landmark 1994 PBS series Baseball. Now Burns and co-director Lynn Novick bring the series to the present with The Tenth Inning.

The Tenth Inning tells the tumultuous story of America’s national pastime from the early 1990s to the present day, introducing an unforgettable array of players, teams and fans, celebrating the game’s resilience and enduring appeal, and showcasing both extraordinary accomplishments — and devastating losses and disappointments.

The film highlights dramatic developments that transformed the game: the crippling 1994 strike that left many fans disillusioned with their heroes; the increasing dominance of Latino and Asian players who turned baseball into a truly international game; baseball’s skyrocketing profits, thanks to new stadiums, interleague play, and the wild card; the rise of a new Yankee Dynasty; the Red Sox’ historic World Series victory; the astonishing feats of Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds; and the revelations about performance-enhancing drugs that cast a shadow on many of the era’s greatest stars and their accomplishments.

Combining extraordinary highlights, stunning still photographs, popular music of the period, and insightful commentary by players, managers, experts and fans, The Tenth Inning interweaves the story of the national pastime with the story of America. In an age of globalization, deregulation, and speculation, the film demonstrates that baseball has continued to be a mirror of the country—at its best and at its worst. The film also movingly shows that when America felt most threatened, following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, baseball offered common ground, providing Americans with solace, distraction, and the hope that things could one day return to normal. ö

The Tenth Inning airs September 28 and 29 at 8pm on WOSU TV.
