The return of Ben Hollis and two other funded national shows light up Ch. 11 production stages

Ch. 11 is getting it back together again after a funding slump with the launch of three new shows the station will produce.

“CEO Exchanges” hosted by journalist Jeff Greenfield of CNN bows in March on PBS. The following month, pith helmeted Ben Hollis returns to the station in seven-part “Wild Chicago Illinois Road Trip” series.

In January, 2007, endowed with a $7 million grant from the U.S. Dept. of Education WTTW will develop a multi-layered children’s educational series called “Word World,” designed to help children read.
