We the undersigned have had the pleasure recently of working with Mr. Steve Antoniotti of

WTVS. Channel 56, Detroit Public Television. The issue which brought us together was a
documentary. People of the Land, shown on Channel 56. As with other documentaries that have
sometimes inflamed rather than informed, People of the Land antagonized a number of people in the

metropolitan area.

We were impressed with the way that Channel 56 responded to complaints and addressed the
future of documentary programming at Detroit Public Television. Steve Antoniotti, President and

T

he female obstetricians and certified nurse midwives of
Providence Hospital and Medical Centers have delivered
thousands of babies between them. And they've had a
few of their own, as well. So if you think a woman's touch
would make your birth experience a better one, then you've
come to the right place.

Of course, no matter which gender you prefer (for your
doctor, that is) all of Providence's obstetricians and certified
nurse midwives are highly skilled and experienced. And they
work in some of the most accommodating, comfortable,
family-centered birth facilities in Michigan. Providence
Park in Novi and the New Life Center in Southfield offer the
comforts of home, with the reassurance of state-of-the-art
equipment standing by. For low-risk births, the Family
Birthing Center in Southfield offers a safer alternative
to home birth, providing queen-size beds, Jacuzzi tubs
and sleeping accommodations for family members.

For your birth experience, Providence has all the choices: the
medical professionals, the accommodations, the technology.
Just ask any woman who's been there—even just once.
For more information, call 1-800-968-5595.

General Manager of WTVS. summarized their intent as follows:

"Our Community Advisory Panel is continuing its work to develop program

,guidelines that I'm confident will help us eliminate totally unbalanced viewpoints in

our programming. I can assure you the message has gotten through. Detroit Public
Television will no longer involve itself in the endless process of responding to one
extremist program with another: -

We welcome the apology of WTVS, and more importantly, its pledge to develop positive
objective criteria with which to make broadcasting judgments. Mr. Antoniotti's commitment to bring
forth intellectually stimulating points of view is something that will be a uniting force for this vibrant
and diverse Detroit community, and we hope that you will join us in supporting Detroit's fine public
