TV shows that may be of interest
From HacDC Wiki
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. 12 3:40AM+ 22.4 Core Kyoto mini - Maki-e lacquering 4+ 26.2 Escape to the Chateau - A Floating Dome + 26.5 Nature - The Egg: Life's Perfect Invention 48.2 Hunt for the Zodiac Killer - A New Code Uncovered 5 26.2 Ancient Sites of the World + 26.5 NOVA - Cat Tales 5:55 9.2 Forensic Factor - Nature's Clues 6 22 Maryland Farm & Harvest - 10th Anniversary Special (making of the show) 48.2 Hunt for the Zodiac Killer - The Code is Cracked 6:10+ 22.4 NHK Documentary - Humans vs. Wildfires 6:30 9 Did I Mention Invention?
