New programs:
Will be of interest to Latino community

MADISON -- Coming this fall to Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) are two new programs relevant to the Latino community, one of which will be broadcast with an option to tune in with a Spanish soundtrack.

At 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14, Redlining: It's Not Just for Housing Anymore undertakes a journey with producer Dan Banda, who travels between central Mexico and his hometown of Milwaukee that has a long-standing reputation as one of the most segregated cities in the country.

From his perspective, Banda questions whether the reputation is deserved. Does the Mexican population continue to grow despite or because of segregation? How does one measure societal distance?

At 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21, WPT premieres a new documentary on Wisconsin's Latino population, Freedom to Work. It profiles Latino workers and their employees in the state's dairy, manufacturing, and hospitably industries who strive to understand each other culturally and linguistically.

The broadcast will be offered statewide in Spanish for those who wish to activate the Separate Audio Program (SAP) function on their televisions. Most, but not all, newer stereo television sets have SAP capabilities. To access the service viewers may turn on a button or access a menu on either side of the remote control panel on the front of the TV set.

"Ensuring that we reach and meet the needs of all members of our audience is critical to us," said WPT Director of Programming and Production James Steinbach. "Freedom to Work is a documentary that touches the Latino community and to make it as accessible as possible, we decided it was critical to present a Spanish-language option."

Teen depression:
TV shows discuss illness and treatment

MADISON -- Two new programs airing on Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) in October will deliver core messages on teen depression: depression is an illness, not a choice; teens suffering from it can and should seek help; and there are treatment paths to alleviate the pain.

Teen Connection, a live, call-in program, airs at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14, and will look at biological depression that affects two percent of teens across the country. In severe cases, it leads to teen suicide. Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death in the U.S.

Lingering in the Shadows, a new documentary co-produced by NEWIST/CESA #7 and WPT, depicts a group of Green Bay-area teens who, in stark and moving terms, talk about their illness. Their remarks are interspersed with facts and opinions by family therapists and a psychiatrist. It will air at 10 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15.

"It's an illness and you treat it like an illness," says Ken Horn in Lingering in the Shadows. "It's not a personal weakness. It's not a state of mind. It's not because I'm not living my life correctly. It's an illness."

Horn is a therapist with Child and Family Consultants in Green Bay and, like his colleagues in the documentary, points out that biological depression differs from psychological depression in that psychological depression can be affected by environmental factors.

W. Bradford Lyles, a Green Bay board-certified psychiatrist in child/adolescent and general and addiction psychiatry, will appear on Teen Connection, along with a panel of teens that have suffered from depression.

Viewers may call toll-free at 877-988-2888 during Teen Connection. Some calls will be selected for on-air discussion.
