Dear Friends,

Excitement is building here at Nine. Two of your favorite programs are returning in January, Doc Martin and Victoria. Find all the exciting details inside this issue. We are also happy to announce that later this year we will hold our second gala, scheduled for September 21.

We are moving along on implementation of our 2021 Strategic Plan, approved by the board of directors in June 2018. The plan calls for continuing and strengthening our strategies and tactics around community engagement to inform content, measuring the impact of our work, maximizing our visibility in the region, and ensuring we have adequate financial resources to fund the organization

To remain relevant in the current age of digital abundance, Nine needs to create original digital content to meet audiences where they are. The 2021 Strategic Plan calls for building capacity for production and distribution of digital content. Nine will follow leading practices and create content specific to the unique characteristics of each digital platform. This will allow us to continue to serve the needs of our community.

Central to the plan is focusing on localized content that reflects community-identified themes and priorities. We have lots of local content planned at our upcoming events and in our Nine specials this year. We will need the community's support to implement the plan, which includes a master facility plan to reconfigure our space with the latest technology.

Also central to our mission is education, particularly early education. We will continue to make sure that our littlest learners get the encouragement they need to succeed in school and life. On page 9 of this issue, you will meet Tina Mosley, who was selected from a group of 10 nominees, as Nine Network's PBS KIDS Early Learning Champion. Read about Tina and the successful Edcamp for early childhood educators that took place in our building last fall.

Speaking of national content with local relevance, hometown journalist, publisher and host Catherine Neville of Feast TV fame, launched a new national series in October, called tasteMAKERS. New episodes of the series continue on Nine PBS in January and February, with encores set to begin on Nine Create January 9.

We will also be reading, dancing, and more in the Public Media Commons this summer. I hope you will be part of our wonderfully inspiring community in 2019.

Yours truly,

Jack Galmiche President and CEO

Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, in Crisis

AN ALL-NEW SEASON OF THE HIT DRAMA, VICTORIA, RETURNS.

THE WORLD PREMIERE OF VICTORIA, SEASON 3, IS JANUARY 13 AT 8 P.M. ON NINE PBS

IT IS 1848, and revolution is breaking out across Europe. In Britain, one woman stands between order and chaos: Queen Victoria.

Jenna Coleman stars as the young but fearless monarch, facing a crisis that threatens to end her reign, on Victoria, Season 3. The new season premieres January 13 on Nine PBS.

The New York Times called the first two seasons "tremendously engaging... immediately gratifying." The Boston Globe pronounced it, "captivating," and Paste Magazine proclaimed, "Victoria is a royal masterpiece."

Continuing the story of Victoria's rule over an empire, Season 3 introduces fascinating new historical characters, including Laurence Fox (Inspector Lewis) as the vainglorious Lord Palmerston, who crosses swords with the queen over British foreign policy. Also vexing the queen this season is Victoria's devoted but troubled half-sister, Princess Feodora, who seeks refuge at Buckingham Palace because of political unrest back home in Germany.

Other new characters include the reformist Prime Minister John Russell and the beguiling Duchess of Monmouth. Returning are Tom Hughes as Victoria's devoted, obsessive husband, Prince Albert; the queen's chief dresser, Nancy Skerrett; Charles Francatelli, the royal chef and cookbook king, plus a host of others.

As Season 3 gets underway, Victoria is pregnant with her sixth child. But she has much else on her mind, chiefly the Revolutions of 1848, when the downtrodden throughout Europe begin agitating for the overthrow of aristocratic rule.

4 January?February 2019 | nineMagazine



In England, this discontent leads to Chartism, a set of demands for universal male suffrage, the secret ballot, equal representation for voters and other reforms that were considered radical by leading political figures during Victoria's reign.

As with many crusades, passions are aroused on both sides--sometimes violently. At the time, who knew if events might turn out like the French Revolution, which resorted to widespread use of the guillotine?

Passion is also an issue in the bedroom at Buckingham Palace, where Victoria is reluctant to risk more pregnancies. Victoria and Albert, parents now of six, are at odds about their offspring, especially the troubled Bertie, the role of the monarchy and, increasingly, with each other.

Show your excitement for the new season on social media using #NinePBS and #VictoriaPBS.
