I absolutely love Lark Rise to Candleford and watch this program both Sat and Sun in our community of Brodhead. So many subjects’ concerns concluded this past weekend. Does that mean the series is over? Will a new year of programs begin this coming week? Please continue showing this family oriented program. mary friederich

When is Red Green broadcast?
Kia says:
I love PBS, but the Holiday showings, and pledge shows, are getting more repetitive and dismal. How about some Holiday movies besides The Greatest Store in the World, which is really been worn out these last few years? You used to show A Child’s Christmas in Wales, and A Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th St, and other Holiday movies(black and white versions). And I refuse to watch at all during the Pledge Drives. You would be better off showing the shoes we love and asking for money to support them, rather than the same old Doo Wop special. Please, let’s retire these mediocre shows.

When is the Trans-Sirberian Orchestra actually airing. The program guide and this site are giving confusing info. Thanks
