Per your request, one notable addition we have made is to offer the “At a Glance” grid available on our website. You can find the one-page grid of primetime programs available to download and print at witf.org/primetime. This month we bid a fond farewell to The Lawrence Welk Show. The series has been a mainstay in our schedule for many decades, thanks in part to the generosity of his fans who have watched on WITF. However, the program’s popularity has been waning in recent years which is why (like many of our PBS member station colleagues across the country) we are not renewing our contract. Instead, we premiere the Bigger British Comedy Block, with two more British comedies in our weekly schedule. Get ready for some extra laughs when the new comedies premiere Saturday, August 28. This month we also present Mannheim Steamroller 30/40 Live season finales forUnforgotten on MASTERPIECE, Professor T (the UK August 16 at 8p • August 21 at 1p • August 22 at 9:30p version) and The Indian Doctor.
