Since the creation of the wheel around 3500 B.C., there have been steady improvements and uses for the wheel. Today, wheels are used in cars, trucks, airplanes, bicycles, trains, toys and many more devices.
Pioneer PBS Executive Producer Timothy Hale Bakken traveled to regional car shows, threshing bees, farm shows, museums and specialty shops in search of the stories featured in this new program. Interviewees featured in WHEELS include Dan Dripps of Morris, Ed Lipinski of Watson, Marcy Schramm of Tracy, Vaughn Veit of Buffalo, Kevin Backstrand of Ortonville, Virgil Fults of Morris, Lyle Hoidal of Montevideo, Doug Schriener of Pennock, Lorwin Zahrbock of Madison and Wally Kill of Morris.

Thank you!
There may be snow outside, but underneath that white landscape there is always something green growing. It is through your support that we are still here and blossoming.
We have resumed over-the-air broadcasting on all six channels!!! This is all new equipment and will require more tweaking. We will try to limit the effect on you, the viewers, but we wanted to give you as much as possible as soon as we possibly could. Stay tuned for more improvements to your Pioneer PBS.
