In 1837, a diminutive, neglected teenager is crowned Queen Victoria, navigates the scandal, corruption, and political intrigues of the Court, and soon rises to become the most powerful woman in the world. Victoria stars Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who) as Queen Victoria in a highly anticipated series that follows the drama of the candid, spirited monarch who was perhaps the first woman to seem to have it all. In Season 2, Jenna Coleman returns for a new season as the young queen who wants it all—romance, power, an heir, and personal freedom. Joining the cast in the new season is legendary actress Dame Diana Rigg (Game of Thrones), who plays the Duchess of Buccleuch, the court’s new Mistress of the Robes. Tom Hughes reprises his role as the queen’s dashing consort, Prince Albert, and Rufus Sewell returns as the smoldering Lord Melbourne. Victoria, Season 2, airs in seven episodes created and scripted by bestselling novelist Daisy Goodwin. 2018 Airs Wednesdays at 7PM and Saturdays at 11PM beginning January 24th / January KLCS VIEWER MAGAZINE VIEWER KLCS PAGE 6 / PAGE SUPPORT · DONATE · SPONSOR · WWW.KLCS.ORG CABLE CHANNEL CITY Bulk TV 17 Sun City Champion Broadband 19 Pasadena Charter Cable 23 Glendale/Burbank/Foothills 25 Multiple Cities 63 Multiple Cities Consolidated Smart Systems 8 Burbank/Santa Fe Springs 10 Los Angeles 16 Gardena/Hawthorne/ Los Angeles/Pittsburgh, KLCS Administration Rialto/Torrance/ 18 Long Beach/Los Angeles/ Jorge Briseño Marina Del Rey/Newhall INTERIM GENERAL MANAGER /Studio City Alan Popkin 19 Los Angeles DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING/ 23 Sherman Oaks TECHNICAL OPERATIONS Jenifer Flores 36 Los Angeles PROGRAMMING 37 Brea/Burbank/ Huntington Beach/Los Angeles Board of Education Cox Cable 26 Palos Verdes 38 South Orange County Mónica Garcia (President), Kelly Gonez, Golden Rain Foundation 58 Laguna Hills/Laguna Woods Dr. George J.

  • Salmon Vs. Dams: the Dam Removal Debate on the Elwha River
    Salmon vs. Dams: The Dam Removal Debate on the Elwha River Teachers: This lesson contains a classroom project with background related to the AFG video clips about salmon vs. dams. These parts may be used individually or together, depending on the needs of your class. Note: You can access and view the video clips used in this lesson in the Teacher Resources section of the AFG Web site www.pbs.org/americanfieldguide/teachers. Grade Level: 10-12 Background Hydroelectric Power has long been touted as a clean alternative source of energy. It produces roughly 70% of the power in the Pacific Northwest. However, hydroelectric is not without its costs. Salmon runs on the major river systems, such as the Columbia River, and on minor rivers, such as the Elwha River in Olympic National Park, have suffered greatly in recent decades, and some of these salmon species are becoming listed as endangered or threatened species. Today, large dams on the Columbia River, owned by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) provide the majority of power for the Pacific Northwest. Yet hundreds of small, privately owned dams are scattered around the region. These are in various states of disrepair, and often only provide enough power to fuel a small community or one or two factories. However, these dams do as much or more damage to the salmon runs in their area than the large dams (BPA dams have extensive programs to help the fish successfully navigate the dams). This lesson is derived from real testimony given to Congress regarding two of these small dams in the pristine Olympic National Park in Washington.

  • Finalist Cirque Zuma Zuma, Known As
    Authenticity shines like a beacon. SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 2014 It can’t be manufactured and isn’t a commodity for sale. It carries the potency of truth and the sting of conviction. It’s the real deal, and it’s the essence of MCA Nashville www.drakewhite.com newcomer Drake White. SPECIAL GUEST When White sings “I’m a fan of beer ice cold, of waving at my neighbor when I meet him on the road, kissing on my woman in the moonlight. Yeah I’m a fan of the simple life,” it sounds like more than just a hit debut single. It sounds like the start of a great conversation with a new friend, and that’s just the way the Hokes Bluff, Alabama, native intends it. “One of my favorite things to do is share music with people,” says White, who has toured with Willie Nelson and opened for Eric Church, Kid Rock, Alan Jackson, Little Big Town and others. “I hope that my music gives you some kind of hope, something bigger than just the music that you can relate to, and it helps you get through the day.” The young singer/songwriter wrote or co-wrote each of the album’s 12 tracks and co- produced with Jeremy Stover. The songs reverberate with an appreciation for the things that mean the most in life as well as an infectious appetite for enjoying a good time and making the very most of every moment. It was there that his energetic live show started drawing attention, and Stover became one of White’s biggest supporters, bringing Music Row pals out to see his show.
