Thank you for the alert. I'll watch for this for sure.

Thanks for mentioning the series. We are all very excited after almost three years of work..

I would like to clarify our relationship to PBS for all of you

The series is being distributed to PBS stations through the National Educational Telecommunications Association. What this means is that it was not produced by PBS and therefore will not have a predetermined national airing schedule. Stations that belong to NETA will have access to the series and they can choose to air it if they wish. We have hired a stations relations manager to work to get it aired in as many of the top markets as possible.

I hope it is picked up in your area!! Best Shelly Zegart

Can't wait for this. One problem. I have memory issues. I will not remember to watch for this show - plus I only very seldom watch PBS so it will easily slip by me. Could you or anyone put out a reminder when you find the actual air date? Then I can program my dvr and get the whole series even if I forget about it. :roll: Thanks! Virg

I sent a message to the link provided and this is their reply.

Judy, We will have no idea of where it will air . We will also have to go to our local stations to find out.
On our website on the right side there is a link that takes you to PBS listings. This series is not PBS produced so it will not have a national air date. Stations can choose to air it or not. Hope this helps and thanks for your interest.

Shelly

Guess we will all have to keep checking our PBS stations from time to time.

Thanks for the "heads up"! It really looks interesting!

I hope my PBS station plays this here in Oregon!!!

amma 08-06-2011 12:02 AM

Thank you, I will be watching for this series :D:D:D

postal packin' mama 08-06-2011 02:17 PM

Maybe we should have a letter-writing campaign to our local PBS affiliate, requesting they air the series?

mojo11 08-09-2011 08:42 AM

Thank you for the information.

Shellyz 08-09-2011 08:50 AM

The series is being made available to PBS stations, through an independent distributor, in addition to the programs already available to them from PBS. Each individual station makes a decision about whether to air it or not. The rights are available through 2014. At this point, it is too early to know whether your local station will air the series. I suggest you check your local listing or the station website to see if it will air. We have hired a station relations manager to make stations aware of the series. If you would like to send a note letting them know you would like to see it, that is fine too.

hi there, This is what has been suggested we let you all know. I am thrilled by your interest..Best Shelly Zegart

TexasGurl 08-09-2011 02:42 PM

Looks wonderful ... hope we can see it here in Houston, and hopefully NOT at 7 AM !!
If they can show old silly English reruns in the evenings, why can't they show new programs like this ? We should all contact our local stations about this ! :roll:
