Today would have been the 86th birthday of our favorite neighbor, Fred Rogers. Wisconsin Public Television is proud to carry on his legacy in high-quality, dependable, educational and non-commercial children’s programming – including Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood every weekday at 11:30 a.m. on WPT.

In honor of Mister Rogers, let’s all do something neighborly today – and everyday!

Here’s one of my own personal favorite local connections to Fred Rogers – a testimonial about the amazing man from the late Madison resident Jeff Erlanger.
