Pictures on the Prairie the First Ten Years of Mid-Illinois Television has been on the shelf for a couple of months.

Author and broadcaster Doug Quick got his start in the business in 1974 at WTIM, a Miller Media Group station. Quick says his passion for TV and history started at an early age.

Quick says the process of writing this book was a difficult one that spanned over 13 years, and included him having to bounce around on topics in the book. One chapter in the book had a 6 month break in writing from start to finish.

Quick appeared as a guest on the NewsTalk WTIM Morning Show.
