October 27 was a Saturday 15 years ago and here’s a look at what we were airing on then UNC-TV.
As you can see, the schedule overall greatly mirrors what we broadcast on Saturdays these days on PBS NC. A few exceptions here and there (LAWRENCE WELK in the early evenings then, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW in the afternoons now) but we start out with kids programming in the morning, how-to programming in the afternoon, British imports in the evening and music overnight.
I will note that where today our UK lineup is mystery/drama back then it was primarily Britcoms. (Aside: I find it sad that for the first time in years we currently have no British comedy series in our schedule.) The POLDARK in question was the original program from the 1970s as the Aidan Turner version was then still a few years away from debuting. The DOCTOR WHO episodes are from the current series since we dallied with some of those episodes for a while (unfortunately, not all of them).
Were you watching us in 2007? If so, thanks for viewing, thanks for supporting. Stick around. We’ll see what the schedule looks like 15 years from now.
