Hot tips: March 21 8 starting at 1PM on Channel 9.3 Modern Marvels: Engineering Disasters - 8 episodes (listed as 10-17 but numbers were wrong before) in a row 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.
