Community & History: PBS Wisconsin's 70 Years of Service

Jon Miskowski is Director of Television for PBS Wisconsin, leading the six-station PBS Wisconsin network that includes four multicast channels, Wisconsin productions, online and digital services, PBS Wisconsin's Pre-kindergarten-12th grade education service, and community engagement. He shepherds the station’s current and future work to ensure we deliver resources that are relevant to the learning and entertainment needs of the people of Wisconsin and accessible across a range of platforms in a rapidly changing media landscape.

This work has included Wisconsin First Nations education resources, the Timothy William Trout Education Innovation Lab, and PBS Wisconsin’s first educational video games, Jo Wilder and The Capitol Case and The Legend of the Lost Emerald. He has also forged innovative community partnerships and advisory committees offering deeply informed guidance on      the station's digital and broadcast programming including Wisconsin in Black & White, Why Race Matters, The Wisconsin Muslim Project, and Wisconsin Pride.
