Getting Connected with Your Local PBS Station: WSEC!
Our Springfield-area PBS station is WSEC, one of three stations under the Network Knowledge umbrella. The home office is actually right beside the Chatham-Glenwood campus. For more than 25 years, they’ve been providing quality public television with programs like Sesame Street, Downton Abbey, and the local program, Illinois Stories with Mark McDonald—which is quickly approaching its 1000th episode. (By the way, you can submit an Illinois Stories program idea here.)
By liking the station’s Facebook page, you’ll get access to special events, trivia, behind-the-scenes happenings at the station, and much more! Did you know you can even tour the station with your kids? Just call 217-483-7887 or visit www.wsec.tv for more information on how you can get involved and support our local station through volunteering, pledging, or just by learning more about what they do.
