Hopefully your PBS station is cooler than mine!

So, I am not a huge DMB fan, but I thought I might check them out on Austin City Limits last night, as I am a fan of the show, and I mean, I do like some DMB songs. So I went to check what time it would be on, and it's not showing up. So I search my local PBS's schedule, (WOSU in Columbus, Ohio) and find out they will be showing Dave Matthews Band on 11/8 at 1 am. They will be showing Ben Harper on 11/15 at 1 am. And they will be showing Kenny Chesney on 11/22 at 1 am. That is the night Pearl Jam should be on.

So I guess they are gonna show everything about a month behind schedule, at 1 in the morning, which means Pearl Jam may or may not appear on December 27th at 1 am.

I think I am going to send an email complaining. ACL has been running just over five years less than Sesame Street. What shows are so important that they would push a PBS staple back a month to the late hours of the night? Maybe they don't like music. Back when Touring Band 2000 came out, PBS channels aired a one hour version of it, but this PBS channel never did, and I think I emailed then and they didn't know what I was talking about.

Anyways, hopefully this is the only channel doing it, but before anyone gets too excited about watching Pearl Jam on the 21st, you might want to see if it will actually be on.

Yeah, that is when Austin City Limits is making the episode available. Apparently individual PBS stations can decide when they actually want to air it. As I said, my PBS station is not going to begin the season until November 8th, as opposed to last night, so Pearl Jam won't be on until late December. Not all PBS stations are created equally though, and yours will hopefully air on the right night.

I get the seattle PBS and the some PBS from out east in HD. Hopefully one of them airs it on time.

Our PBS doesn't broadcast ACL at ALL, so I'm s.o.l. completely. :evil:

I saw the DMB ACL performance last night, however, it started about 20 minutes after it was scheduled to air (according to the program guide)

My local guide said 10 pm. When I checked, there was something else showing. Around 10 minutes later I check again and got nothing. It wasn't until about 20 after 10 when they finally decided to run the show

I get Rochester PBS, I think now. Though i'm not worried if I miss the TV event. By the following day, you know it'll be up on various torrent sites. And we are not talking about one source capturing either!

Get_Right

each PBS channel has its own programming
they select the shows from a range of available options

so ACL may or may not be broadcast on your local station
if they broadcast ACL regularly, then there is a good chance PJ will be on at some point.
