 | | KOTV photographer Mike Woods and Sutton biologist Don Wolfe were huddled in a small blind on the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve before dawn, watching the growing glow across the sky and waiting for prairie-chickens to start their dance. |
 | | The special was produced by Wendy Burkeen at KOTV, and was sponsored by Southwestern Bell and Phillips Petroleum Co. Scott Thompson, three-time Emmy-winning reporter for KOTV, wrote the script, and photographers Joe Durant, Mike Woods, and Grant Gerondale taped the visual segments. |
 | | KOTV also publicized the special feature with "news series" short segments presented during KOTV's regular news programs in late May, and with a series of "eco-mercials." These latter were half-minute commercials designed for attracting viewers to watch the special in days to come. |
