Norman Michie explains to Wisconsin residents the value of a public television network.

This plea to the public showcases several of the already-existing WHA-TV’s most popular programs, including the Friendly Giant for children and educational programs for a variety of topics including agriculture, finances, and German. It also highlights how the cost for the network would never outweigh the value it would bring to citizens.
