<pre>Ms. Lovelace-Cameron -
Yes, I know. The problem is the way PBS operates. We were fortunately
picked up by a "strand" - in otherwords, an on-going series. All of those
series, however, start around 9pm ("American Masters", "American
Experience", "Frontline", etc.). So you get the benefits of their
promotional machine, but you also get their time slot. Best is just to get
the recorder ready.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: EYES ON THE PRIZE
Why put it up against Monday night football and start it so late?
Younger kids will be unable to watch the full 2 hrs.
