H G “T IdahoPTV Flips Channels in August Idaho Public Television’s Main Channel (subchannel 1) steps up to broadcasting in high definition late Monday, August 8, at approximately 11:55 p.m. MT/PT. At the same time, the former over-the-air HD Channel (subchannel 2) begins broadcasting in standard definition widescreen. The Main Channel will continue to carry the familiar mix of PBS prime time and children’s programming, plus IdahoPTV productions, specials and favorite series, such as the British comedies on Saturday nights. “We are committed to continually improve the quality of our Idaho Public Television service,” General Manager Peter W. Morrill says. “Our long-term digital plan always envisioned that our primary channel would broadcast over-the-air in high definition. Improved technology, new equipment and a wider selection of HD programming has allowed us to make the change now, as we approach our 10-year anniversary of digital broadcasting.” Over-the-air viewers will see the greatest change. Subscribers to cable and satellite basic services will see little change. (The Main Channel may also be offered in high definition on cable or satellite as an added service.) The over-the-air subchannel 2 will be renamed IdahoPTV Plus Channel and will feature a mix of programming that surrounds a different theme each night during prime time hours. Look for: • History and biography on Sunday. • Idaho/Northwest and exploration on Monday. • Science on Tuesday. • Drama and mystery on Wednesday. • British comedy on Thursday. • Nature on Friday. • Music and performance on Saturday. The two additional over-the-air channels — Learn/Create and World — will see no change. Learn/Create (subchannel 3) offers a combination of formal educational programming and lifelong learning shows, which includes how-to series about cooking and crafting. World (subchannel 4) features news, public affairs and documentary programs. Learn/Create and World also broadcast floor action from the Idaho House of Representatives and Senate when the Legislature is in session, as well as some legislative hearings. The opportunity to upgrade our statewide broadcast service is the result of a generous grant from the M.J. Murdoch Charitable Trust grant and the now defunded U.S. Department of Commerce Public Telecommunications Facilities Program (PTFP). Variety Happens After Midnight With telecourses on summer vacation, weekend overnights show more variety and offer an opportunity to record encores of shows you might have missed. THE CIVIL WAR completes its overnight run on Saturdays — 1:00 a.m. /12:00 midnight MT/PT — concluding July 16. Beginning July 23, another Ken Burns epic, THE WAR, tells the story of World War II from the point of view of U.S. participants from different geographical and economic backgrounds. The hometowns themselves are part of the story as the war transforms parts of the country in different ways. Other specials coming to the early Saturday hours in July include GIANT SCREEN FILMS, beginning July 9 with Bears and continuing with Majestic White Horses, Ocean Oasis, Wolves and Mystic India. On July 16, the six-part miniseries, THE STORY OF INDIA begins and continues into August. The early hours of Sundays continue to feature LIFE ON MARS at 4:00/3:00 a.m. MT/PT, the adventures of a modern police detective, who suddenly finds himself at work in 1973 without many of the technological tools he is used to relying on. The series continues into August. At 5:00/4:00 a.m. MT/PT, the hour features music throughout July. The San Francisco Symphony’s KEEPING SCORE examines Mahler and Shostakovich, July 3 and 10. DISCOVER BEETHOVEN’S 5TH airs July 17; TIM JANIS: COASTAL AMERICA airs on July 24; and BRULE, LIVE AT MT.

SURVIVAL: Airs Mondays, July 4 and 11, at 10:00 p.m. MT/PT The final two episodes of this four-part series look at some of the continuing inequities in the worldwide efforts to save lives that are unnecessarily being lost. While new vaccines are being rolled out and access to health care is becoming a political priority across the developing world, there are still stories like the two this month. The Plant That Cures Malaria (Uganda) (July 4) Malaria kills Ugandan farmer Clovis’ young daughter. He learns too late that, if caught early, a three-day course of drugs can cure the disease. The drug’s main ingredient is an expensive chemical extracted from the Artemisia plant. Clovis discovers he can easily grow Artemisia on his land and invests much of his family’s resources into farming the plant. He establishes a community of small farmers who can produce enough Artemisia to sell it in bulk to a processing company. A new LIVES IN THE BALANCE company policy, however, may stand in the way of income for this cooperative of farmers. Fit for Life (Bangladesh) (July 11) A young girl in rural Bangladesh goes into labor in her family’s house. But she isn’t being whisked away to a hospital to give birth. She’s going to have her baby at home. A woman known as a “dhai” is at the girl’s side. The dhai has no medical training, yet she has delivered most of the children in this village. Her tools are a razor blade and a string to tie off the umbilical cord. In a different Bangladesh village, another young woman gives birth in a clinic with the aid of trained medical professionals. A health specialist has coached her through her pregnancy and will visit the family during the first weeks of the baby’s infancy. This child and her mother stand a much better chance of surviving birth and the first year of life. This film examines the whys and wherefores behind these two situations. idahoptv.org 17
