In what's being billed as an unprecedented partnership, two local
television stations are teaming up to celebrate the history and
contribution of Italian Americans in Chicago.
"And They Came to Chicago: The Italian American Legacy," a
documentary hosted by actor Joe Mantegna, is being presented as a
joint venture by WMAQ-Channel 5, the NBC-owned station, and WTTW-
Channel 11, the Window to the World Communications public television
station.
Channel 5 will premiere the documentary on Columbus Day (Oct. 9)
and air it two more times. Channel 11 will then broadcast an expanded
version on Oct. 17, with additional airings and a DVD offering to
follow.
