PBS favorite Nick Clooney hosts this new look at the confusing world of digital
television. As the date approaches when broadcasters must convert to digital-only format,
many viewers are worried that the equipment they own will no longer be operational. Others
have many questions about purchasing the digital televisions coming onto the market. In
this program, which is geared toward older PTV viewers, host Nick Clooney provides clarity
on some frequently asked questions such as do I have to buy a new television? What kind of
equipment do I need to purchase if I want to keep my old TV? What's the difference between
DTV and HDTV? What kind of TV should I get? If I have cable, do I need to get a new TV?
How can I take advantage of the government coupon offer? Spokespersons from some of the
major electronics chains offer information on subjects such as 720p and 1080i, the
difference between plasma and LCD, and answer other popular questions. PBS President Paula
Kerger and KET Programming Director Craig Cornwell talk about the new possibilities
presented by the digital transition from a national and a local perspective, including
multicasting. (cc)

American Eagle Unique to North America, the bald eagle is the continent's most
recognizable aerial predator, with a shocking white head, electric yellow beak and
penetrating eyes. In the 1960s, this symbol of the United States became an emblem of
environmental degradation as the pesticide DDT and other human pressures brought it to the
brink of extinction. Following their protection as an endangered species, bald eagles have
come roaring back. Photographed by Emmy-winning cinematographer Neil Rettig, this film
focuses on the drama of the nest. Even in the best of times, it's a surprisingly tough
struggle to maintain a one-ton home and raise chicks until they can hunt on their own.

Experience Oswald's Ghost The assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas on

that a lone, inconsequential gunman could bring down a president and alter history. Using
rarely seen archival footage and interviews with key participants, the program takes a
fresh look at Kennedy's assassination, the public's reaction to the tragedy, and the
government investigations that instead of calming fears lead to a widespread loss of trust
in the institutions that govern our society. (cc)

Bible's Buried Secrets This two-hour special breaks exciting new ground in
investigating the origins of the ancient Israelites, the evolution of their belief in one
God and the creation of the Bible. For the first time, more than a century of literary
detective work and decades of archeological excavation in the Holy Land will challenge
viewers with provocative new insights, including that most Israelites worshiped pagan gods
and many believed that God had a wife, who was venerated as an idol. A story of science,
history and faith, "The Bible's Buried Secrets" will leave a lasting impact on
viewers and become the definitive documentary on the Bible for generations to come.

8:00 Monarchy: The
Royal Family at Work Headquarters/Head of State Headquarters - Buckingham
Palace's 650 rooms form the nerve center of the British monarchy. It's from here that the
queen directs the business of the royal family, entertains heads of state and conducts her
private life. "Headquarters" goes beyond the palace gates for a rare glimpse
inside. Ghana's President Kufour and his wife, along with their entourage, have arranged a
state visit. The queen's guests will stay in Buckingham Palace's 11 royal suites, where
meticulous footmen will valet for them, unpacking and pressing each item of clothing and
attending to their every need. For the magnificent banquet, the queen personally reviews
the table arrangements and the royal chef certifies that the presentation of every plate
is perfect. At the queen's official birthday celebration, thousands of well-wishers gather
under the palace balcony; the Royal Air Force flies in formation overhead. After they
greet the crowds, members of the House of Windsor head inside for her majesty's private
family party. "Headquarters" also follows Queen Elizabeth as she prepares for
her annual move to Balmoral in Scotland. While she's gone, 40,000 visitors will tour the
royal apartments for a spectacular exhibit of her formal gowns and jewelry, but only after
the queen approves the display.Head of State - For the dramatic ritual that opens
Parliament, the queen's coachmen don full livery, and two of her horse-drawn carriages
parade through the streets. One holds the queen the other carries the crown jewels.
"Head of State" leads viewers through the elaborate state opening of Parliament
from the secret removal of the crown jewels from their Tower of London vault to the moment
when the House of Commons slams the door in the face of the queen's representative to the
eventual conclusion when the rowdy Commons stand before their queen. Not all of the
queen's state responsibilities require full regalia. "Head of State" also
attends the weekly private audience between Her Majesty and the British prime minister.
It's his duty to keep the queen informed. It's hers to listen and to impart the wisdom
gleaned from nine of his predecessors. The royal job also entails extensive travel.
Although the queen has seen almost every country on earth, no monarch has ever set foot in
the former Soviet republics of the Baltic states. In a historic visit to the newly
democratic Republic of Estonia, the ambassador, his wife and their staff have attended to
every detail. (cc)
10:00 Windsors: A
Royal Dynasty The King Who Saved The Crown, 1936 - 1952 Edward's abdication was
the worst possible news for his younger brother, Bertie, Duke of York. Happily married
with two young daughters, he longed for a quiet country life. Now, duty compelled him to
be King. On May 12, 1937, he was crowned George VI (taking his father's name for
continuity). The remarkable strength of his vivacious wife, Elizabeth (the future Queen
Mum), helped him find a new confidence and poise. World War II and the blitz that
threatened to destroy London revealed him as a modest but unwavering hero. Also in this
episode, we meet the two young princesses. The 10-year-old Elizabeth, on her father's
coronation, becomes the new heir to the throne. She marries Prince Philip in 1947 and has
two children, Charles and Anne. On June 2, 1953 she was crowned Queen Elizabeth II. The
House of Windsor was in safe hands (and still is!) (cc)
