PBS Programming Question

As listed in MR, it says the Tracks Ahead series is starting in January. Have looked at my local PBS listings on computer and they show no listings for it. Anyone have a schedule of when it's going to be on? Thanks in advance!

Yeah......it's not on mine. I called the station and was told they don't have room for another 30 minute program. I gave them a few suggestions on what to cancel to make room, but to no avail. Oh, well....................

This was very exciting until I looked and saw that my local PBS station is not carring it. I think I'll go cry now. [:(]

Try this link to PBS nationally. From there click on "Programs A-Z", input your ZIP Code, click on the icon for your PBS station(s) and then you can do a search for Tracks Ahead (up to date!). Awkward, but effective.

Good luck!

The small cicle with the little c inside in front of the 2002 means it was copywrited in 2002. That link was from the current Tracks Ahead web page. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding. The web site list shows for 2006 so I'm sure it's as current as can be found. As always ENJOY [8D]
