The seventh season of Wisconsin Life on Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) offers plenty to get excited about. Host Angela Fitzgerald connects viewers with people whose passions, experiences and expertise celebrate the best of Wisconsin, introducing new stories from every corner of our state. The new season premieres 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3 on WPT.

This season sees Fitzgerald crossing the state to visit places including the Shalom Wildlife Zoo in West Bend, the Marshfield Agriculture Research Station in Stratford and the Motorama Car Museum in Aniwa. The rest of the Wisconsin Life team is just as well-traveled; as always, the program finds and introduces unique and inspiring Wisconsinites from all parts of the state and all walks of life.

New episodes of Wisconsin Life air 7 p.m. Thursdays beginning Oct. 3 on WPT. Milwaukee PBS will also air the new season of Wisconsin Life. Check milwaukeepbs.org for broadcast times and information.
