WSIU Public Television in Carbondale has acquired Central Illinois based Network Knowledge. They have to make tough decisions, but they’ve made a very wrong, shortsighted one. They are shutting down Illinois Stories and letting Host Mark McDonald go. It’s time to get the message to the folks in Carbondale that cutting ties with Mark and his masterful storytelling skills is not in their best interest. Sign on and share.

The only show that I watch on public television. Shows how out of touch you are with what sells in central Illinois.

Illinois Stories and Mark McDonald are the epitome of successful local public television. Allow Mark to continue this franchise and find a successor who can carry on with the program and attract the next generation of viewers and supporters of public television.

Illinois Stories doesn't have to stop at old boundary lines. It would be a great asset for the entire WSIU coverage area.
