CIO“Charlottesville Inside-Out”
Produced by WHTJ Charlottesville PBS

In November 2008, WHTJ Charlottesville PBS presented a brand-new weekly interview show called “Charlottesville Inside-Out.” The half-hour program is hosted by Terri Allard, a local performing artist and native daughter of the region. This fun and unique series explores the people and places that define Charlottesville.

The title for “Charlottesville Inside-Out” comes directly from the concept underlying each episode – Terri Allard introduces the guest from inside WHTJ’s studio on the Downtown Mall, and then she heads out to interview the guest on location.

Interviews have been conducted at the Charlottesville Pavilion, Innisfree Village, the Free Clinic, along the 250 Bypass for Art in Place, Walker Elementary School, Zocalo restaurant, SOCA’s South Fork soccer fields and in the Dome Room of the Rotunda.

Terri and Paul WagnerGuests include African drummer Darrell Rose; Monticellos’ executive director Dan Jordan; world-champion juggler Mark Nizer; City Schools Superintendent Rosa Atkins and Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Wagner. Each thirty-minute show features two interview segments.

Episodes of “Charlottesville Inside-Out” air on Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. on WHTJ (channel 41, cable 7, digital 41.2).

WHTJ’s studio is located on the east end of the Downtown Mall, near the Free Speech Monument and City Hall. The studio is equipped with brand new, digital HD camers and a suite of wireless, mobile production equipment that allows the crew to work in a controlled studio setting, and then pick up and go just about anywhere.
