TV shows that may be of interest
From HacDC Wiki
NOTE: Due to very limited internet access, I will not be able to update this much. 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 Mar. 21 3AM 9.3 Mayday: Air Disaster - Typhoon Takeoff 4+ 22.2 This Old House | Newburyport: Off-The-Shelf Custom Look (EV charger) 32 Make48 - Follow Our Winning Team On Industry Field Trip!, PT 2 4:30 22.2 Ask This Old House - Dimmer Switch Troubleshooting, Clothes Rack (indoor air quality) 26.5 This Old House - Newburyport: Off-The-Shelf Custom Look (EV charger) 5+ 26.4 The Burren: Heart of Stone - Symphony of Life 5:10+ 22.4 A Culture Built with Wood - Hida 5:30+ 22.4 Medical Frontiers - Nursing Technology for care With Dignity 6:30 22.2 My World Too - Scrapskc/Farmers Markets/Solar Power 8+ 22.2 This Old House - Jamestown | Net Zero Blanket 8:30+ 22.4 JAPAN SPORTSCOPE "Caving" 9:10+ 22.4 Mathematica II 9:25 22.4 A Culture Built with Wood Kishu 10 26.5 Energy Switch - Responding to Climate Change 10:30+ 22.4 Science View - Protecting Infrastructure by Visualizing Stress 26.5 Start Up - Ann Arbor T-Shirt Co. 2:30PM 26.5 This Old House - The Jamestown Net-Zero House: Ramp Up the R Value 3 22.4 BIZ STREAM - Contributing to Disaster Readiness 26.5 Wild Metropolis - Commuters 7 9.3 Black Gold - The Big Strike + 22 Maryland Farm & Harvest - Maryland Leopold Conservation Award Winner; Grimmel Girls; John Brown Butchery + 26.4 NOVA - Kilauea: Hawai'i on Fire 7:30+ 22 Outdoors Maryland - Underwater Marauders; The Nature Cure; Water From The Air 32 Hope Is Here - Emily Bennett Taylor 8+ 22 & 26 American Masters - Dr. Tony Fauci + 26.4 Secrets of the Dead - A Samurai in the Vatican 9+ 26.4 Expedition with Steve Backshall - No Turning Back 10:30+ 22.4 FRONTRUNNERS - Prosthetics Pioneer - Usui Fumio Mar. 22 4:30AM 32 This Old House - Newburyport: Off-The-Shelf Custom Look (EV charger) 5+ 26.4 The Burren: Heart of Stone - Song of Our Ancestors 5:15+ 22.4 Direct Talk - Amy Herman, The Art of Perception 6 22 Urban Conversion - Clean Energy 101 8+ 22.2 This Old House - Jamestown | Modern Barn Raising 10+ 48.2 Story Feature - 101 Inventions That Changed the World 1:30PM 26.4 Energy Switch - Policies to Reduce CO2 3 22.4 Ethical Every Day - Zero Waste Town Kamikatsu 4 22 Ask This Old House - Install Cabinet Hardware, Breaker Trips + 26 NOVA - Building Pharaoh's Ship 8+ 22 & 26 Nature - Born in the Rockies: First Steps 9+ 22 & 26 NOVA - Ancient Maya Metropolis 9:15+ 22.4 Direct Talk - The Power of Dyslexic Thinking: Kate Griggs / Founder, Made By Dyslexia 10+ 22 & 26 Secrets of the Dead - Magellan's Crossing 10:30+ 22.4 Japanology Plus - Japanophiles: Kyle Holzhueter (plastering) Mar. 23 6:30AM 22.2 My World Too - New Reflections/The WindEXCHANGE 8+ 22.2 This Old House - Jamestown | Air Tight House 8:30+ 22.2 Craftsman's Legacy - The Murrini Glass Maker 1PM 22 Rick Steves' Europe - Rome: Ancient Glory 3 22.4 Japan's Top Inventions - Automatic Ticket Gates / Tool Setters 9 22.2 Ancient Sites of the World - Must-See Egypt 9:15+ 22.4 Direct Talk - Women at the Extremes: Felicity Aston / Polar Explorer & Research Scientist 9:45+ 22.4 Zero Waste Life - Clothes to the Earth 10 22.2 Colombia - Wild and Free - Two Rivers Mar. 24 6:30AM 22.2 Start Up - Hex Ferments: Baltimore, MD 8+ 22.2 This Old House - Jamestown | Designing Their Dream Home 9+ 22.2 Crossing South - Coffee and Archaeology 10:30+ 22.4 Zeroing In: Carbon Neutral 2050 - Episode 15 Our Breathing Cities 1PM+ 48.2 Modern Marvels - Casino Technology 2+ 48.2 Modern Marvels - Video Games: Behind the Fun 4:30+ 22.4 Zeroing In: Carbon Neutral 2050 - Episode 16 Unleashing Hydrogen's Potential 8:10+ 22.4 NHK World Prime - Steve Jobs and Japan 10:10+ 22.4 Anime Supernova - Get Kids Excited 10:25+ 22.4 Darwin's Amazing Animals - Tokyo's Hidden Wildlife - Tama River, Japan 10:55+ 22.4 Danko&Danta, Cardboard Craft Creations!
