New Wisconsin Polka Documentary Premieres March 6

Wisconsin celebrates family, community and life with polka. In fact, it's the law: polka was designated our State Dance in 1993.

Beloved Wisconsin author, historian and storyteller Jerry Apps has built a fruitful partnership with Wisconsin Public Television (WPT), sharing stories of rural life and lore in three popular films since 2012. Now, Apps returns to WPT for a fourth time to share his memories of water — from its life-giving power on his family farm during the Great Depression, to the calming properties that may offer a respite from the commotion of modern life.

Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) will provide coverage of the state's 2017 Martin Luther King Jr. tribute celebration, the oldest annual event in the United States, on Monday, Jan. 16.

Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) will launch new, free localized 24/7 children's services on Jan. 16, 2017. Provided by WPT, the free services include a new TV channel and live stream on digital platforms. The effort is WPT's latest initiative to support early learning in the community.
