  Artsandentertainment: WEDU gets $1M donation, a record
But the donation, announced Monday by WEDU, also represents a milestone for the area's highest-rated public TV outlet - an example of how far it has come since the dark days five years ago when fiscal shortfalls forced officials to lay off nearly one-third of the station's staff.
WEDU has agreed to use the McCann Foundation gift in specific ways: $25,000 to create a pilot episode of a local health information show, Smart Health, to be hosted by former WFTS-Ch.
When Lobo first took over, WEDU had just laid off 18 people from a 62-member staff and was struggling with $2-million in budget cuts and a slump in memberships.

 Artsandentertainment: WEDU-Ch. 3 eligible for digital TV Kresge grant
But there is a slight catch: WEDU must raise another $2.14-million by October 2005 to receive the money, prompting the PBS affiliate to create fundraising committees targeting six area counties.
News of the grant was particularly welcome at WEDU, where officials in the past have complained about the financial pinch from federal requirements mandating a conversion to digital TV broadcasts costing $12.5-million.
WEDU began broadcasting a digital TV signal last year, presenting a simulcast of their current programming, along with broadcasts of the Florida Knowledge Network, the Florida Channel, the PBS Kids channel and high-definition PBS programming.

Chief Sergeant Yesuf said CUD’s allegation that Wedu was killed in ambush while he was coming to testify in favour of CUD’s election complaints is simply baseless.
The Chief Sergeant said the killer of Wedu was caught red-handed and the investigation on the killing has been finalized, adding the suspect in his own words admitted to have killed Wedu in vengeance as the deceased had earlier killed his cousin.
He said Wedu’s brother named Zewdu Delelegn had earlier killed another cousin of Mucho Mengistie, and that is what triggered the vengeance, that resulted in the killing of Wedu.

 Floridian: Piano plus politics equals parody
The live, national broadcast is a first for WEDU, which initially enlisted Russell in the late '80s to perform a show for longtime station supporters that was broadcast later.
So when station officials heard that Russell was planning to take some of the six shows he performs annually for PBS to cities outside his traditional home base of Buffalo, N.Y., they jumped to offer the comic a gig in Florida.
Russell continues to be popular among WEDU viewers, but Lobo acknowledged that reaching new audiences while presenting a performer that appeals to the station's core older crowd is a continuing challenge.

 Simply Appalling: A postcard from the edge
WEDU will air the controversial "Sugartime" episode of the PBS children's program POSTCARDS FROM BUSTER on Thursday, February 24 at 9 p.m., followed by a panel discussion.
That said, and notwithstanding that the CEO of WEDU says "that producers at the Boston PBS station that produces the show approved of the way WEDU is handling it," there is a great deal to be regretted both in the manner they've chosen to present the program and in their online notice.
Their parental notice is loaded with phrases such as "controversial 'Sugartime' episode," "controversial content," "sensitive material," "controversial issues" and "sensitive area." These are the sorts of descriptions you see on the box of a porno film, placed there to avoid litigation and to encourage viewing.
