TV shows that may be of interest

NOTE: Due to limited internet access, I may not be able to fully update this. Hot tips: April 28 at 1PM on channel 26.4 - GZERO World With Ian Bremmer - AI Think, Therefore AI Am April 28 at 2:30PM on channel 26.5 - 26.5 Ask This Old House - Robotic Wall; Bench April 29 at 2PM on channel 4 - Drone Racing League See wiki.hacdc.org/index.php/TV_shows_that_may_be_of_interest_-_weekly for shows that normally air at the same time each week - some are also (i.e., if of particular interest or to give the episode subject or title) included in the list below. 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. Channel 62 in Frederick & 67 in Baltimore are identical to 22 in Annapolis (including sister stations (i.e., 22.2=62.2=67.2) too). Note that channel 7.3 airs numerous SF movies - check their schedule (select COMET WJLADT3 at wjla.com/station/schedule) for times & titles.
