| I don't beleive so, Jim. There are two PBS stations in the NY area and even the McNeil news hour is on at different times. As they say, check your local listings. |

As I understand it, the situation is very similar to the way it is done with public radio programs. The program is made available via a PBS satellite at some specific time. Interested stations download the program from the satellite, record it and rebroadcast it at the time they choose.
I got the broadcast schedule directly from WNET, so it should include all the stations that are picking up the program.
I haven't seen the finished product, but WNET has an excellent reputation and their crew was very thorough and professional. |
