Here & Now

Sabin, thanks for joining us.

>> I appreciate it.

Thank you very much.

>> Finally tonight we relay the news with sadness that Jon Miskowski, our PBS Wisconsin director of television, has passed away following a long battle with cancer.

Jon Miskowski was director since 2015.

Originally from Stevens Point, he started his career here as a volunteer at a TV back in 1984.

John's vision brought many firsts to this station, including LS Lambeau welcoming home Wisconsin's Vietnam veterans.

>> I want to thank you from my heart.

>> Other initiatives John developed include.

PBS Wisconsin Education, Wisconsin Hometown Stories and Tribal Histories.

Upon his retirement earlier this month, John said, my 40 years in public television, including my time as PBS Wisconsin director of television, have been a source of inspiring challenges and creative joy from all of us here at PBS Wisconsin.

Thank you, John, for your leadership.

John is survived by his wife, two sons, and the light of his life.

His granddaughter,
