WTIU is You!

Your Comments

“This service is vital to our community and to our nation. Public Broadcasting provides journalism that is not purchased by special interest groups, educational outreach to our children—especially those most in need, safe programming for families, and a general counter-balance to other media vehicles that have screamed out of control in damaging and dangerous directions. This is our nation’s final link to sane broadcasting and our only hope for continued mass communications that are not controlled by political-, religious- or profit-based marketing.”

—Amy H. of Bloomington
