Note: Due to internet problems I have been unable to properly maintain this list.

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 Dec. 22 3AM 9.3 Mayday: Air Disaster - Vanished 22 The Letter: A Message for Our Earth + 26.5 American Experience - The Man Who Tried to Feed the World 5 48.2 Digging for the Truth - City of the Gods (Teotihuacan) 6 9.3 Modern Marvels - Bunkers 32 Hope Is Here - Hank Baskett (lung cancer) 48.2 Digging for the Truth - The Real Temple of Doom 7 9.3 Modern Marvels - Diamond Mines 48.2 Digging for the Truth - Troy: Of Gods and Warriors 7:30+ 22.4 DESIGN TALKS plus - Computational Design 1:30PM 26.4 Second Opinion with Joan Lunden - Racial Disparities in Maternal Health 2 22.4 Japan's Top Inventions - Ventilators for Premature Babies / Electron Beam Lithography Systems + 48.2 Story Feature - The President's Book of Secrets 2:30 26.5 Growing a Greener World - Epic Tomatoes With Craig Leitoullier 3 26.5 History Detectives - WWII drone prop, Teddy Roosevelt club, Clara Barton letter 7+ 26.4 Standing on Sacred Ground - Fire & Ice 7:30 26.4 The Good Road - Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico - Salt of the Earth 8 22.2 This Old House - Atlanta | Whole House Protection 8:15+ 22.4 Direct Talk - A New Frontier in Space: Maggie Aderin-Pocock / Space Scientist 8:45+ 22.4 Zero Waste Life - Clean Beaches, Cleaner Plates Dec. 23 1AM 9.3 Modern Marvels - Nuclear Submarines 1:30 26.5 Rick Steves' Europe - The Making Of 2 9.3 Mayday: Air Disaster - Hanging by a Thread 3 9.3 Mayday: Air Disaster - Attack Over Baghdad 5+ 26.4 Life on the Line - A Mother's Strength 6 9.3 Modern Marvels - Cannons 6:30 22.2 Make Your Mark - Stamp Away + 26.4 Closer to Truth - What Are Scientific Breakthroughs in Biology?
