TV shows that may be of interest

Hot tips: A new channel, 9.4 (Twist) should start broadcasting soon. The Channel 9 program listing (www.wusa9.com/tv-listings) showed it starting 6AM Apr. 5 but at 3AM Apr. 6 it wasn't on the air. Channel 22 Apr. 7 10PM & Apr. 8 2AM, Channel 22.2 Apr. 11 10PM - Fallen Astronaut (sculpture secretly taken to Moon) Caution: Schedules (along with all other databases) contain errors and are subject to change. Note that this listing only includes broadcast channels, not cable or internet channels. Most of the shows listed are fact rather than fiction; % indicates fiction (i.e., a series episode with a science-related plot). + after the time means the program is rerun later (possibly on a sister station, i.e., a show on channel 26.4 may be rerun on 26.5); check that station's program listing for details.
