Greetings!

 

Thanks to the 750 Friends of WILL who contributed more than $130,000 for the WILL-TV and WILL Radio fund drives. We finished just $5,000 short of our TV goal and fulfilled our radio goal in the last hour of the 36-hour campaign. What great December gifts! 

This year's favorite music    

Speaking of gifts, NPR Music made you a really long mixtape. So put on your headphones and listen to more than 300 of their favorite songs from 2014. 

Must-see shows on WILL-TV 

On the Dec. 18 edition of WILL-TV's Illinois Pioneers (7:30 pm), meet Mark Rubel, founder of Pogo Studio and bass player for Captain Rat and the Blind Rivets. Learn more. Then at 7 pm Monday, Dec. 22, Antiques Roadshow is all new with vintage treasures from the Baby Boom years. 

Calling all teachers     

If you are creatively integrating digital media and technology in your classroom, apply to the 2015 PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovators Program. PBS will name 100 winners; 30 of them earn a place at PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovators Summit and the prestigious ISTE Conference. Learn more. 

January Patterns is online      

So this issue's biggest news might be the start of

Downton Abbey's season 5 (8 pm Sunday, Jan. 4, WILL-TV), but there's much more, including Manners of Downton Abbey: A Masterpiece Special, featuring insight from the show's historical advisor, Alastair Bruce, at 9:15 pm Jan. 4. 

Exploring innovation in many forms
