TV shows that may be of interest

NOTE: Due to limited internet access, I may not be able to fully update this. Hot tip: April 25 at 10PM & April 26 at 2AM on channel 32 - Roadtrip nation: Chip In - Leading Edge 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 Apr. 17 4:30PM+ 22.4 Medical Frontiers - The Health Benefits of Green Tea Catechins 6+ 48.2 Weapons at War - Combat Engineers 7+ 48.2 Weapons at War - Top Guns 7:30 22 Chesapeake & Delaware Canal: Gateway to the World 32 Finding Your Roots: The Seedlings - Genealogy/Classification/Final Projects 8+ 48.2 Weapons at War - War Games 9:15+ 22.4 Direct Talk - A Bridge Between Humans and Nature: Takasugo Junji / Nature Photographer 9:30+ 22 Chesapeake Beacons 10+ 22 Conowingo Dam: Power on the Susquehanna 11+ 48.2 Weapons at War - Bombs, Rockets, and Missiles Apr. 18 4AM 32 Make48 - website creation 4:30+ 22.2 Ask This Old House - Oven Ventilation, Wireless Ev Charger 5:15+ 22.4 Direct Talk - Ikehara Masaki, solidification tech 8+ 22.2 Craftsman's Legacy - The Goldsmith + 48.2 Guts & Bolts - Stuntman Fire Suit/Personal Submarine/Tunnel Digger 8:30+ 48.2 Guts & Bolts - Smash & Crash: Breathalyzer/Human Crash test Dummy/Car Crusher 9+ 48.2 Guts & Bolts - Trials Motorcycle/Carwash/Time Track Camera 9:30+ 48.2 Guts & Bolts - Coast Guard: HITRON Helicopter/Motor Lifeboat/Jayhawk Helicopter 10 26.5 Energy Switch - Is Hydrogen Our Energy Future? + 48.2 Guts & Bolts - Anti-Terrorism Tech: Fox Recon Vehicle/Talon Robot 10:30+ 22.4 Science View - How New Microscopy is Showing the Future of Science + 48.2 Guts & Bolts - Goodyear/HIDA/Facial Recognition 11+ 22.2 Rick Steves' Europe - Rome: Ancient Glory + 48.2 Guts & Bolts - Taser Gun/Airport Fire Truck/Red Light Camera 11:30+ 48.2 Guts & Bolts - Veterans Stadium Implosion noon+ 48.2 Guts & Bolts - Panama Canal: Locks/Harbor Tugs/Locomotives 12:30PM+ 48.2 Back to the Blueprint - Saltbox 1+ 48.2 Back to the Blueprint - Sears Home 1:30+ 48.2 Back to the Blueprint - Spanish Revival 2 26.4 H2O: The Molecule That Made Us - Pulse + 48.2 Back to the Blueprint - Floating Home 2:30 26.5 Ask This Old House - Humidifier;
