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 Nov. 10 4AM 22 NOVA - Crypto Decoded 26 Craft in America - Harmony + 26.5 Secrets of the Dead - Hidden in the Amazon 5 26 Make48 - marketing process 5:30 26 Make48 - product shows 6 32 Second Opinion with Joan Lunden - Anxiety 7 9.3 Modern Marvels - Army Corps of Engineers 8 9.3 Modern Marvels - Bullet Trains + 22.2 Craftsman's Legacy - The Boat Maker 8:30+ 22.2 Woodsmith Shop - A New Old Workbench + 22.4 Japanology Plus - bamboo noon+ 48.2 Spy Web - Great Spies Of The 20th Century 1PM 32 George Washington Carver: An Uncommon Life + 48.2 Spy Web - The FBI Spy Files 2 22.4 Japan's Top Inventions - Laptop Computers / Purification & Separation Systems + 48.2 Spy Web - The Code Breakers 2:30 26.5 Growing a Greener World - Container Gardening Anywhere: What to Know Before You Grow 3+ 26 Craft in America - Jewelry + 48.2 Spy Web - The CIA 4+ 26 Make48 - start 4:30+ 26 Make48 - get hardware 6:55 22.4 Japanology Plus mini - urban workshops 8:15+ 22.4 Direct talk - A New Era With More Female Astronauts: Christina Koch / NASA Astronaut 10+ 26.2 %Traces 11+ 22 Maryland Farm & Harvest - Harvest Special; Corn Harvesting; Perfecting Watermelon Growth; Al Spoler Picks Lettuce Nov. 11 1AM 9.3 Modern Marvels - Booby Traps 2 9.3 Mayday - Runaway Train 2:30+ 22.4 ASEAN Now and the Future III - Plastics in the Ocean Ep. 3 3 9.3 Mayday: Air Disaster - Kid in the Cockpit 6 9.3 Modern Marvels - The Trans-Siberian Railroad 6:30 22.2 Make Your Mark - Hip-Cycle (microwave glass kiln) + 26.4 Closer to Truth - How Do Human Brains Experience Music?
