Twin Cities Public Television does not broadcast the Tavis Smiley Show BUT they will be showing this one twice! Saturday night and Sunday morning. Here is the email I recieved from them in response to my inquiry:

Thanks for contacting Twin Cities Public Television. We appreciate hearing from our members and viewers. Your opinions and suggestions are valuable in helping us make programming decisions that are responsive to your needs and interests.


We currently do not have the program on as a series, however we taking advantage of timely program offer made by PBS to add the Tavis Smiley Show with Prince to our schedule.

02/21/04 11:00-11:30pm 02/22/04 5:00-5:30am on Channel 2.

We are currently looking in to get the show on a regular basis.

Thank you so much! Firing up my VCR as we speak (er, as I type). Thanks again!!!!!

I just called there (Channel 2) and the guy on the phone told me Sunday the 22nd at 11:00 pm! He told me this was the only time...so just in case...have your VCR's ready at this time too!

I just checked the website http://www.tpt.org/ and looked at the schedules for Saturday and Sunday. They have Tavis Smiley on at the times I was told in the email. Saturday the 21st at 11:00 P.M. and Sunday the 22nd at 5:00 A.M. Perhaps phone guy was confused!

Cool news. I take back my anger from TPT, although I'm still upset Dr. Who isn't on anymore.

I am glad your PBS station responded to your e-mail.
I sent an e-mail as soon as I found out about Tavis' show w/Prince(last week) & I have not gotten a response.
