My Fons and Porter quilting program on BYU Tv has disappeared. Has anyone else found this problem?

Melinda in Tulsa 10-06-2011 08:32 AM

Now that you mention it, YES! I have dishnetwork and have all the quilting shows set to DVR and it is not there. Hmmmm

I still get Eleanor Burns Wednesday afternoon on DISH.

familyfun 10-06-2011 09:03 AM

I have Direct Tv and I cant find it anymore either.

blueangel 10-06-2011 09:09 AM

I don't get it either.

Linda K. 10-06-2011 09:19 AM

It's not on any more? I really like Fons and Porter. I had Fons for a class at a Quiltfest in Pigeon Forge, Tn. Great class.

vivianv 10-06-2011 09:44 AM

Fons and porter series is still on. I get it on Direct on the pbs station in our area. They are doing the 1800 series with Marianne and her daughter Mary

stitchengramie 10-06-2011 10:04 AM

I have a membership to QNN TV and I watch their programs online.

peggy119 10-06-2011 10:06 AM

I just watched it today. I get in on CREATE TV.

Central Ohio Quilter 10-06-2011 10:16 AM

I get it on Create TV also, about 2 or 3 times a week. I also get it on PBS on Saturdays.

carmen garcia 10-06-2011 10:26 AM

I have Dish and have not found the create channel. Yes fons and porter is gone. I havent checked into next weeks schedule though.

simplyme 10-06-2011 10:30 AM

Yep, Saturday morning on PBS in Houston.

Melrose R 10-06-2011 10:42 AM

No Fons and Porter quilting for me either.
Where is Eleanor Burns on Dish I did a search but came up empty handed. Maybe a channel I don't get.

Ok the Create channel. Thanks

Jackie54 10-06-2011 11:27 AM

I dont get it neither mine was on PBS

Ginger2010 10-06-2011 11:31 AM

Channel PBS 20-2 antenna wise, at 9:30am every morning. Old shows though, on 1400 and 1500 series! Already seen them a long time ago! No new shows, and can't find them on PBS 44 anymore

nativetexan 10-06-2011 11:38 AM

I see it on Create channel here. about 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and again at 10 p.m.
marianne Fons and her dtr Mary Fons. I thought Marianne retired. was it the other one, Liz??

LindaM49 10-06-2011 11:42 AM

I was looking for it on DirecTV the other day. It is listed on BYU at 11:00a.m. here on Thursday. I wanted to remember to watch it today...and darn it I forgot. I had watched it before and thought sure it was listed more than once a week.

Sewing with Nancy was listed only 1 day a week too. I can't remember if it is tomorrow or it was today. I'll have to check again.

Katydid2 10-06-2011 11:51 AM

I still receive them with DISH on semi-local PBS station (it is about 50-60 miles away vs the station that is only 10 miles). All are on Saturday moring.

loves_2_quilt 10-06-2011 12:24 PM

Fons and Porter and Quilt in a Day still on my local PBS station, thankfully.

PaperPrincess 10-06-2011 12:44 PM

Well, I.m sure that you all made a pledge to the PBS station that carried the program. Even if you get it via cable, the PBS station gets nothing from your cable company. If you want to see these shows, you need to support them!!!!

sguillot 10-06-2011 01:26 PM

Absolutely, we need to keep these shows on.

Sweeterthanwine 10-06-2011 02:04 PM

Mine has disappeared to. Haven't been able to find it on the BYU tv channel anywhere. Wish I could find out what happened.

I have DirecTV too and I noticed that it was NOT scheduled on starting on Monday. Maybe someone can find an e-mail address and we can ALL join in and send messages. I don't care if I have seen them before!! I liked seeing the older episodes with Liz. I miss her wit. :(

MsMel 10-06-2011 02:11 PM

Yep, disappeared here too...only on Saturdays now...Couldn't find quilting arts or quilt in a day on PBS either...

QIAD can be found on the RFDTV. It is on Wednesday at two times, mid morning and early evening.. Her new book about Barns are being shown. My local PBS station has dropped F&P. They are probably hopefully pick up the show again when another season is produced. I have DirecTV. :cry:

carole7481 10-06-2011 02:35 PM

I have Dish and still get it on a PBS station at 1:30 on friday. Out local is actually called KTPS but is a Public Broadcast Station. I hope you all find it, hopefully it has changed days or times. I know Dish is still caring it.

wraez 10-06-2011 02:36 PM

Mine has moved to a different time as has Quilt in a Day but still showing on Saturdays.

Highmtn 10-06-2011 02:39 PM

ALL of my fav quilting shows disappeared (with ZERO warning) from PBS for about 3 months -including Fons and Porter.

Out of the blue... they ALL came back...and it's all GOOD again! No clue where or why it disappeared, but I'm just glad the whole lineup returned.

carmen garcia 10-06-2011 05:31 PM

what channel is create on Dishnetwork?

sandyo 10-06-2011 05:38 PM

do not have it here

sherian 10-06-2011 05:40 PM

I get zero on quilting, sewing,kniting, arts, & craft.
Comcast. I use to get it on public tv. I know some people get a public tV station create it is really good. We should all e-mail - write - call our TV sevice and ask for create TV, it has alot of everything Plus cooking,travel, quilting,knitting, arts and crafts etc..

grannie cheechee 10-07-2011 02:50 AM

If the PBS station is having a fund raiser, they don't show the quilt shows. If it rains and we have Dish, I don't get the programs then. LOL

cairns 10-07-2011 03:02 AM

Funny how the men have car, motorcycle, home improvement
etc. programs all day. And us, how many hours do we get of sewing or quilting?

Dodee 10-07-2011 03:05 AM

I had been getting it. I understand the daughter is going to have her own show. I THINK you can get the programs on your computer now, now sure tho'.

29cathie 10-07-2011 03:12 AM
