I don't watch Big Bird Television, but I may need to find out what channel it is for this.

My public station (Huntsville) is showing it is going to air tonight at 7 and tomorrow night as well

 

[JoshB]

Mine too.

The great minds in Washington, DC with the FCC . Tell me that two counties in the State of Alabama, will only get its local news and TV stations from the state of Georgia. Randolph and Cleburne Counties are those two counties. This has been going on for the pass 60 years, we have been trying to get this change for the last 20 years. By the way we are in the Atlanta, market.

It was really, really good but the only annoying thing was the 15 minute long APT/PBS infomercials they showed a cpl times in between showing the documentary. For a $70 donation to APT you get a copy of the DVD and for a $100 donation you get the commemorative book. What kinda crackhead would you have to be to do that when you can get both the book and DVD from the Bryant Museum website for $40 combined?

Agree with you on everything but the crackhead comment. The documentary was very enjoyable. The 12 - 15 minutes begging for contributions was boring. Of course they have fund raisers like this a couple of times a year at least. The extra cash goes to support public tv but you already know that. If you haven't seen it well worth watching. And if you have the extra cash, you'll be supporting a good cause.

Airing now, FWIW...

I understand thats what the extra cash is for but sheesh.

Any possibility that this will air for us out of staters? Or anywhere online?
