In a recent announcement, "John McGivern's Main Streets," in collaboration with Milwaukee PBS, has unveiled its upcoming plans to be an addition to the fall programming schedule. Starting on Thursday, October 5, Main Streets will air Milwaukee PBS 10.1, offering viewers a journey through various Midwest communities.
The show, hosted by six-time Emmy award-winning actor John McGivern, has gained substantial acclaim for its distinct approach to travel programming. Each episode presents a fresh perspective on a different community, highlighting the stories of small business owners, restaurateurs, and factory proprietors. These individuals play a crucial role in portraying the essence of each community. Alongside these personal narratives, McGivern delves into historical insights, landmarks, and local attractions that make each destination unique.
"Main Streets" is now in its second season, continuing its exploration of six Upper Midwest states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana. Collaborating with John McGivern is Emmy Fink, a former host of Discover Wisconsin and a contributor to Outdoor Wisconsin.
"Milwaukee is my hometown, so I’m very happy Milwaukee PBS will be airing John McGivern’s Main Streets” said McGivern. “It just feels right that we can now take all of the PBS viewers in Wisconsin on out travels throughout the upper Midwest. Get ready to plan your next road trip, Milwaukee friends!”
