Welcome to Illinois Public Media: WILL-TV, AM 580 and 90.9 FM.
From the children who gather to watch Sesame Street at their day care center, to farmers who listen to the market reports from their tractor cabs, to commuters whose spirits are lifted by soaring music, the people of central Illinois find that their lives are enriched by WILL. The public broadcasting service of the University of Illinois, WILL links thousands of families to the programming of National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
WILL is not only a source of high-quality, commercial-free programming; it is an important community resource as well, offering workshops for parents and child care providers and agricultural outlook sessions for farmers.
Key engagement initiatives are the Illinois Radio Reader Service, Youth Media Workshop, and Young Learners' Book Mentors. Key local programs on radio are Focus and Commodity Week/agriculture programming on AM 580; Live and Local with Kevin Kelly, Classic Mornings with Vic Di Geronimo, classics by Request and Classics of the Phonograph with John Frayne, and Prairie Performances with Roger Cooper on FM 90.9; and on TV, Mid-American Gardener and Illinois Pioneers.
