I think everyone needs to see if they have it in their area and if not contact your local station. Otherwise you never know who you might miss next season:cool2:

My local PBS used to run about 4 different woodworking shows. They changed this year and only carry a few. I've written them but of course nothing has changed
Disovered on Saturday that KCTS in Seattle now have it on their HD channel. Used to be on the regular analogue channel, which will go away I guess in February. They ran two shows back to back at 7 PM. Available in Canada on Bell Expressvu PBSW HD and cable channels that use Seattle for time shifting shows.
John,
You have to stop sending PBS your money during the Lawrence Welk Pledge Drive and tell them to put it toward the woodturning shows!
Last season, one of the nearly local PBS stations aired the series. Unfortunately for me I only caught about 4 episodes. After reading this thread, I checked their listing and found that they were reshowing the entire series, beginning at 12am Jan 2nd, starting from the very beginning in 2006. One new episode every half hour, seven shows in all to start. Thank goodness for DVRs.
oh Dan, fill me with envy, I'm missing almost all of the first season (on DVR that is...)
Neither of the local PBS stations is currently carrying it, nor is either of the Create feeds

I just checked out local PBS station (OPB= Oregon Public Broadcasting). There is no listing for it at all. I looked to see if the webpage had a contact or suggest option, but nothing it listed. 😱
Is there a place online I might be able view these shows? I wonder if they could be on youtube.?? I'll have to check.
Thanks for posting Ed.

OPB carried the 2nd session last spring. They probably will carry the 3rd session later this year.

In our highly Dutch populated area, it's hard to fight all the Lawrence Welk and Andre Rieu fans for PBS time. . . Yet our local PBS station in Grand Rapids, MI aired Tim Yoder's segment, turning a baseball bat this past Sat. Maybe it's because Yoder is, Pennsylvania Dutch?
Was broadcast in Iowa on Dec. 20th and 25th.....
Holy Cow!!
I just checked Iowa Public Televisions program list, and damn, Yoder's shows aired on December 20th and December 25th, 2008!! Of course I was away on both of these days, but I never imagined that IPTV would consider broadcasting a woodturning show!
Unfortunately the web site for this show also says that "There are no broadcasts currently planned. Please check back for future broadcast dates.", but I will be providing "Viewer Feedback" to the network encouraging them to continue broadcasting this series.
Thanks for alerting me/us to this!
Cheers,
Rob

First thanks to all of you for all the interest in helping us out with the show!
We are such a small station that we have not yet had time to post videos of the WTW episodes on the web. We hope to have a page (someday) where you can view different episodes.
By the way Bruce, my dad was from Pennsylvania. Good cooking up there...
If any of you have any more questions you can either post here or PM me.
We are in the middle of shooting season three so it might take me a bit to reply.

Good to see you posting and thanks for giving us an actual turning reason to be watching TV, instead of being at the lathe. I've enjoyed your show ever since the first season (see note below) and look forward to your third season

NOTE: Your first season was only carried by the smaller of the two local PBS stations, the other didn't bother as it wasn't seen as being popular enough. Of course, when they were proved wrong, they carried the 2nd season, and have shown some select episodes of the first season.
