"The programs and services provided by WMHT greatly benefit the entire capital region," Bruno said. "The grant money enables WMHT to create new programming and educational resources that will continue to play a large role in establishing a culture of learning for our children and families."

The money, provided in the 2005-06 state budget, is being matched by private funds to implement the new ACE Solutions technology that will allow WMHT to move from a manually operated tape-based facility to a fully automated server-based facility. It will enable significant cost reductions and greater efficiency, along with improved reliability throughout broadcast operations.

The new Broadcast Operations Center will be named after Bruno.

In addition, the ACE Solutions technology will allow for the multicasting of WMHT's programs, including three new digital streams of programming.

The future channels will include high-definition TV and a 24-hour educational channel called WHMT Think Bright TV, which will deliver a diverse range of health, educational, parenting, community, science, nature and documentary programming over a 15-county region.

WMHT serves more than 500,000 households throughout the Northeast.

"Whether it is science and mathematics, arts and literature, or government and public service, public broadcasting provides the tools and resources that will help inspire our children to learn," said WMHT President and General Manager Deborah Onslow.

A press conference is slated for today at 2 p.m. at WMHT headquarters.
