Tomorrow: THE VIRGINIAN "Cast Favorites" Marathon on INSP

It's true. Tomorrow, Saturday April 27, INSP will air an all-day Virginian marathon, with stars reminiscing about the series, the actors and their favorite episodes. There's never-before-seen footage here, and even James Drury, the Virginian himself, is excited. “They captured more than just our favorite shows," he says, "the stories that came out of these interviews are priceless. We’re all planning to watch – I sure know where I’ll be on April 27th!”

Here's the line up:
1:00 pm James Drury presents The Mountain of the Sun
2:30 pm Sarah Lane presents The Beloved Outlaw
4:00 pm Roberta Shore presents The Evil That Men Do
5:30 pm James Drury presents Felicity’s Spring
7:00 pm Don Quine presents Yesterday’s Timepiece
8:30 pm Gary Clarke presents Duel At Shiloh
10:00 pm Diane Roter presents Nobody Said Hello
11:30 pm Roberta Shore presents The Evil That Men Do (Encore)



P.S. Forgotten Books will return next Friday at it's regularly scheduled time. Meanwhile, check out this week's FB line up at pattinase.

And, it's notable that the new NBC-affiliated network Cozi TV is running THE VIRGINIAN daily...

Cozi, eh? Still another cable network I don't get.

Todd Mason said...

Not cable, actually...broadcast on your local NBC's secondary or tertiary digital channel. So, if you have cable, your cable operator is required to carry it...and if you're working off a digital antenna, if you can pick up your NBC affiliate, you should be able to pick it up...

Todd Mason said...

Or...maybe not yet. Looks like KING (you're in Seattle, aren't you?) doesn't have any subsidiary affiliations yet (KONG doesn't count):

Or, oddly, KING is still running the LiveWell network on its second digital feed...and KONG is just running its own signal twice (in HD and Standard Definition). Cozi is meant to go head to head with ThisTV, AntennaTV and RetroTV...

KOMO (4.1 ABC, 4.2 This TV) • KING (5.1 NBC, 5.2 LWN) • KIRO (7.1 CBS, 7.2 RTV) • KCTS (9.1 PBS, 9.2 V-me, 9.3 Create) • KSTW (11.1 CW) • KCPQ (13.1 Fox) • KZJO (22.1 MNTV, 22.2 KCPQ SD, 22.3 Antenna TV) • KBTC/KCKA (28.1/15.1 PBS, 28.2/15.2 Worldview, 28.3/15.3 TVW)

I lived in Seattle a coon's ago, Todd, so I remember most of those stations, but I'm a Portlander now. I'll look for Cozi.

Todd Mason said...

Not in Portland yet, either. Soonish, I suspect.

Rawhide on on every Saturday morning. Not sure but I think it's AMC.

Alas, I'll be at a model show tomorrow. Not sure I get INSP. Sounds religious.

oops...sorry, MeTV lost RAWHIDE to Encore Western a few years ago. Quoting from an outdated source.

Todd Mason said...

Ah. Outdated (very outdated) info on RAWHIDE on MeTV:

We've got news: because of an exclusive pay cable window, both Rawhide and Marshal Dillon will be leaving the Me-TV schedule after November 30. We are sorry to see them go and hope to add them back to the schedule in a couple of years. Click here for more info about our western classic programming line-up!
