I've been skunked twice now on the airing of this program, once having
stayed up until 2AM to see it. A while back, I took a look at the
program website and found that it's a very slick production presented in
a smooth style, narrated by Neil Tyson.
For some reason, our local PBS affiliate seems to have underestimated
the local interest (at least I think they did) for this program. Shame
on KAET for relegating a finely produced, top-notch program like "400
Years of the Telescope" to 2 or 5AM timeslots on a weekday mornings AND
and/or digital subchannel airings at odd hours. In the International
Year of Astronomy (2009) and in a location sometimes described as a
mecca for astronomers, the Phoenix market deserved better.
Does anyone know if this program will air at a respectable time? I was
told after contacting KAET (and complaining) that the program would air
at 10:00PM tomorrow night (4/29). This was a month ago. Now, I see
that the 10PM slot is occupied by "Horizon".
Am I missing something? Either way, I'm pretty frustrated.
Thanks,
Darrell Spencer
