Hi All, First.... To Charlotte.... You're always alert and one step ahead! Thankyou very much for the "heads up" on this one... Second.... The Charlie Rose show is replayed more than once offering an opportunity to see this debate in your area but... you will have to look in the schedule for your local PBS channel.... Third.... Don't expect it to be "the same time" everywhere.... PBS has a "tool" to find your local PBS channel in the US... http://www.pbs.org/whatson/index.html You will need to look closely at your local listings.... For instance... I get two PBS channels via our local cable... PBS Detroit WTVS has the Charlie Rose show at midnite and 6:00AM http://www.detroitpublictv.org/watch/index.htm Charlie Rose Scheduled: a panel discussion on stem cell research May 5 midnight (missed this one) May 7 6:00am PBS Seattle KCTS has the Charlie Rose show at midnite only http://www.kcts.org/viewentireweek.asp Tuesday, May 8, 2001 12:00 AM Charlie Rose (I suspect this will be a reprogram of Mon. night's show ... not the Fri. night stem cell debate...) It appears I will be able to watch the debate at 6:00AM tomorrow morning on PBS Detroit and it also seems I missed it Fri midnite on PBS Seattle.... Now does 6:00AM Detroit time mean 3:00AM my time in Vancouver,BC? Yikes... I think I'll stick a tape in the VCR... All the best ...... murray ********** On 6 May 2001, at 18:43, Charlotte Mancuso wrote: > > Hi all, > > This is a must see, people.
