Inside WGCU - PBS and NPR for Southwest Florida

PROGRAM GUIDE for APRIL 2019

Inside WGCU

few programs whose rights do not allow for

live streaming.

We expect that a full-blown, locally

branded WGCU/PBS OTT (over the top)

streaming service will be available before

the end of the year on popular streaming

platforms such as Hulu, Sling and YouTube

TV. Public television stations are a bit behind

the curve on offering OTT services because

of the wide variety of program sources and

customized local schedules that PBS stations

provide their viewers. Those hurdles are in

the process of being cleared, however.

Happy viewing!

All aboard for trip to the Ringling April 16

Join WGCU On the Road on Tuesday,

April 16 for a private docent-led tour of

Ca¡¯ d¡¯Zan, the Ringling¡¯s 56-room mansion

on Sarasota Bay.

John Ringling was one of the five brothers

who owned and operated the circus

called ¡°The Greatest Show on Earth.¡± His

success with the circus and entrepreneurial

skills helped to make him, in the Roaring

Twenties, one of the richest men in America,

worth nearly $200 million.

Ringling and his wife, Mable, purchased

20 acres of waterfront property in Sarasota

in 1911. A few years later they decided

to build a house and began planning.

Construction began in 1924 and was

completed two years later at a thenstaggering cost of $1.5 million. Five stories

Ca¡¯ d¡¯Zan ¨C or ¡°House of John¡± in the dialect

of Venice, Italy ¨C has 41 rooms and 15

bathrooms.

The Ringlings were avid collectors of art.

After both John and Mable died, the

property was not maintained well. But

its profile began to rise with the first art

museum director in 1948, who used

Ringling memorabilia to open a circus

museum on the property and spearheaded

the building of a separate theater.

Hard times came again until years of

negotiation resulted in an agreement in

2000 with the state, Florida State University

and a museum board to raise money for

the property¡¯s restoration. Eventually, with

public support, more than $100 million was

includes charter bus transportation, taxes
