Friday it's UFOs and Anchient aliens all day and evening.

This will probably taper off after this season... it's cyclical and we are in the Mayan "end of world" period right now....

PBS is ok, except our local PBS TV seems to only have the better shows during their fund raisers...understandable...but it is the only time they air them...leaving the rest of the so so programs for the rest of the year

On my TimeWarner programming, PBS does not broadcast in HD. <sucks> Yet sometimes they have some of the most visually interesting shows, such as any of the Ken Burns documentaries. Is the the case in your area?

I didn't think we got PBS here but a friend told me we did. It's just not called that so didnt catch it.

Dave, KOZK in Springfield MO owns KOZJ in Joplin with enough power to reach you...but your cable company may not have it in their lineup. may need an old style air antenna.. KOZK/KOZJ also is on line with PBS programs.
