The Hitler Channel to air a bigger "As It Happened" for A11

....Starting at 7pm CDT, The Hitler Channel(*) will be airing the
Apollo 11 EVA coverage "As It Happened". Similar to what A&E has done
with both Apollo 11 and the JFK assassination, the big difference is
that this coverage is Unca Walter Cronkite's Magnum Opus for See-BS.
HC promises that this will be unedited and with "limited commercial
interruption". No word if Tang is a sponsor, although we can rule out
Gulf Oil :-P

As a result of just now finding out about this, my weekend is shot. I
now have to reroute the cable from the living room to the computer
room, and decide whether to drag the old Video Capture Box out of
retirement, or run up to Frey's on Sunday and fork over $$$ for a new
capture card that I honestly can't afford right now...


(*) Normally known as the History Channel, but we know better :-P

Well, if you or anyone else will be recording this, I would be happy
to
spring for the postage and the cost of however many DVDs it would
take,
to get a copy. The History Television channel up here doesn't show any
such coverage in their schedule, and the only other such A11 coverage
I have comes from PBS on the 25th Anniv, which was of ABC A11
coverage, 6 hours worth, with no interruptions, on VHS.

In looking at the TV schedule, it appears that this will be the moon
landing not the EV and only be 30 minutes in length.

...Dammit. The *******s changed the schedule. Previously it was listed
at about four hours, and numerous tweet announcements were made on
Twitter on Thursday and Friday.

sigh No wonder they call it the Hitler Channel...


Your television schedule... is not in order...
