Hot tips: May 29 at 5PM on channel 9.3 - What Could Possibly Go Wrong? - In-human Slingshot May 29 at 6PM on channel 9.3 - What Could Possibly Go Wrong? - Raiders of the Lost Keg May 30 at 3PM on channel 26.5 - History Detectives - WWI poster, Valley Forge map, early transistor radio, Prohibition-era business card May 31 at 4PM on channel 26.4 - Breakthrough: The Ideas That Changed the World - The Robot Thursdays at 6AM on channel 22.2 - Make: Channel 4.4, Oxygen, is now broadcasting. Channel 5.3 has changed from MeTV to StartTV; MeTV airs on channel 48.1 but it appears to have very limited coverage since I failed to receive it with a roof antenna inside the Beltway. 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.
