GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT<br />

Antiques Roadshow, PBS’ highest‐rated ongoing primetime series, made its first <strong>Idaho</strong> stop on Saturday, <strong>June</strong> 29,<br />
at Expo <strong>Idaho</strong> in Boise as part of an eight‐city summer production tour. Antiques Roadshow airs in <strong>Idaho</strong> on<br />
Mondays at 7:00 p.m. MT/PT on <strong>Idaho</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Television</strong>.<br />
At the <strong>Idaho</strong> stop, more than 6,000 ticketed guests received free valuations of their antiques and collectibles by<br />
70 appraisers from the country’s leading auction houses and independent dealers. Each guest was invited to bring<br />
two items for appraisal. More than 120 <strong>Idaho</strong>PTV volunteers also assisted with the nearly 12 hours of appraisals<br />
and simultaneous television production taping. As part of the visit, Antiques Roadshow also filmed field segments<br />
in and around Boise, including the Egyptian Theatre, Old <strong>Idaho</strong> Penitentiary and the art of James Castle at the<br />
Boise Art Museum. These segments highlighted our area history and places of interest. From video gathered<br />
during the <strong>Idaho</strong> Expo stop, the series will produce three, one‐hour episodes for the 18th season of the series,<br />
airing in the first half of 2014. When the program premier dates are known, we’ll let you know.<br />
The other <strong>2013</strong> summer tour cities are Detroit, Michigan, <strong>June</strong> 1; Jacksonville, Florida, <strong>June</strong> 8; Anaheim, California,<br />
<strong>June</strong> 22; Knoxville, Tennessee, July 13; Baton Rouge, Louisiana, July 27; Kansas City, Missouri, August 10; and<br />
Richmond, Virginia, August 17.
