PBS Annual Conference Highlights

The week representatives from public television stations across the country gathered in Denver for PBS' Annual Meeting. I didn't go this year, but through social media, I was able to keep up with the highlights of what will be coming your way during the next year...from the all the excited tweets I followed it looks like its going to be a great year!

The big news is season three of MASTERPIECE'S  Downton Abbey will head across the pond to our shores in January! I know that's a long way off, but it will be worth the wait!

From the producer who brought us CARRIER and CIRCUS comes HALF THE SKY. Based upon the book by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, this special tells the stories of women and girls from around the world. This four-part series is scheduled for October.

DVD Picks 05/15/2012

Looks like it's going to be a great week! A "found footage" superhero film, Woody Harrelson as a corrupt cop and Liam Neeson FIST FIGHTING WOLVES! Rejoice, for it is Tuesday and new DVD's are upon us!

 

 

Chronicle (2012)
dir. Josh Trank

This film was a critical success much to the surprise of...everyone. There have been so many "found footage" films(mostly horror) that it was only a matter of time before it started spreading to other genres. Well here's a riff on the super hero genre which by all accounts was a great success.

24 Frames Web Exclusive

You wanted more man on the street, you got it!

This summer 24 Frames will be airing one new episode per month on the first Thursday of May, June, July and August on Channel 5. That same episode will repeat every Thursday throughout the month. In September we will give you more 24 Frames than you will know what to do with. Until then we will be offering new online content every Thursday so if you've seen the current episode you will still get some new 24F. The reasoning? Summer is consistently a slow time for TV and 24 Frames being a new production we want to get as much shot and edited as we can before we make our big roll out in the fall! Enjoy!

DVD Picks 05/08/2012

It's a really slow week for movies. I can hardly find anything here to recommend so I might just have to list some so this isn't a blank post.

 

 

Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie (2012)
dirs. Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim

I've heard this is pretty terrible, I have yet to see it but I may have to. Remember that one week four weeks ago where you went to work, had lunch, went home and read a book? NO? Yeah me neither, that's what this week will be like 4 weeks from now.

What's in a blog?

Greetings Channel 5 viewers and 89.1 FM listeners! It’s Sophia here, one of Channel 5’s newest team members. I’m a recent Tech grad and I am absolutely thrilled to be working with great people and doing something I enjoy. Although I’m a new full time member at Channel 5, I got my feet wet last fall during my last semester as an intern at KTTZ-TV…and it looks like I didn’t wear the folks at Channel 5 out too bad…because I’m still here!
