About Us

For over a decade, 4^th Street Forum has been part of the Greater Milwaukee community. We’ve worked hard to serve as a model for civil discourse on difficult issues that affect us all. 4^th Street Forum is part of the strong local programming of Milwaukee Public Television, Channels 10/36.

Each week we select three guests who are experts on the issue of the week. We ask them to come ready to engage in meaningful conversation so viewers can better understand not only the problem but also workable solutions

We have a new host this season, Marcus White. He is vice president of Community Partnerships for the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. Marcus has extensive experience in bringing people together to find common ground on community issues. He is a perfect fit for us.

We make it easy for you to see a show
