New or old
Posted: May 16, 2012 by Henry Rasof
Dear cpt I would like to know whether programs are new or old. Is this information on the web site or on the program itself? I have cable but not digital, so on-screen info is hard to retrieve or nonexistent. This goes for Moyers, Frontline, cooking shows, etc. Also, can you direct me to a schedule for the Charlie Rose series II on brain science? This is one of THE best shows, but I miss half of them! What will be shown for the first time and when shows will be rebroadcast. Thank you. HR

I think it's time to ask Dave Kopel to leave. He's becoming uglier and more strident with each passing week. Recently everything he says aims to push his harshly ultra-conservative political agenda. It looks like even the other panelists are getting tired of him. If you want someone from the right, there are any number of bright, articulate people who are not so grating. Besides, his boss, Jon Caldera, is aired every week right after him. One Independence Institute spokesperson per week is enough. Chuck Woods Denver

Program: Gary Null: Preventing and Reversing Diabetes Naturally (1 comment)
Hi, I have had type 2 Diabetes for almost 20yrs. I just seen you show on netflix. I wanted to know is this for real? I am on two different shots everyday and I also take a pill two times a day. I have also gained 50 lbs in three months. I try everyday to lose the weight, and it is not easy at all. The amount of your tapes, and CD's are to much for me right now. I just want to know if it is real, and worth the money.

Dave Kopel is a, to use a word he so often uses, disgrace to the Colorado Inside Out panel. He uses every opportunity to insert a derogatory remark about the President no matter what the topic/question is. Tonight he said "Obama's father was a bigamist" when the discussion was about the local legislature's actions on the civil unions act. Isn't this show about Colorado issues? Please replace him with a reasonable voice from whom I could actually learn something.

I actually got to taste sour salt recently. It is sold in Mexican grocery stores, it's lemon and salt so you could easily create it at home with a dash of lemon juice and salt to taste, or lemon zest.

I am so disappointed to see that neither you or Rocky Mountain PBS are showing Season two of the wonderful BBC series Sherlock starting tomorrow night, May 6th. How is it that other PBS stations across the country will be carrying the program but you will not? Do you have any plans to eventually pick up the series? Thank you,

Don’t dispair!
Rocky Mountain PBS (Channel 6) is carrying the series under the title Masterpiece Mystery!,  Sundays at 9pm.
Enjoy!

Boulder Digital Translator
Posted: May 1, 2012 by Name Withheld
What is the status of the new Boulder Digital Translator? Will it be operational anytime son?
CPT12 Response:
 We continue to inch closer and closer to completing our new digital translator in Boulder, though have continued to encounter both big and small obstacles along the way. As we speak, we are waiting for specifications from one of our antenna suppliers that will satisfy the uniquely-high wind load requirements in Boulder County. Once we have that information we can proceeding with finalizing our building permit and commence work. We are hopeful that the Boulder translator will be turned on in June.
 
On the positive side, all the equipment we need has been delivered or is awaiting our order to deliver it. We have our installation crews lined up and ready to go once we get the Boulder County approval. This has been the single longest technical project we have worked on at the station in the past several years, and has had more detours and stops than anyone here could imagine. The good news is that we will be on the best possible location and our translator will have the greatest possible reach of any the many sites we considered.
 
Thanks for your continued interest. We will personally email when we know the launch date.

Program: Hometime (1 comment)
The last episodes of this program were never shown. The current programs are on a completely different subject. Possibly these remaining shows were sacrificed to a pledge drive, but it would be very nice if they could be shown so the remainder of the project could be shown. Thanks, Bob
CPT12 Response:
 We have four more Stone Cottage shows coming up:
 
6/17, 1 pm – Stone Cottage – Concrete Floors
6/24, 1 pm - Stone Cottage – Storage
7/1, 1 pm – Stone Cottage – Carpet
7/8, 1 pm – Stone Cottage – Electronics
 
PBS often pops in other shows during long projects.
 
I hope you get to catch these great Hometime episodes!

Unable to receive Ch 12.
Posted: April 27, 2012 by Eva Guy
Hi. After last Sunday's programming, myself and a friend viewer cannot receive Ch 12, 1-2- or 3. Are you experiencing difficulties broadcasting? Do you have any idea why we are not getting the channel? My friend and I use an antenna and a digital converter box on this TV, which is an extra set. Thanks, Eve Guy
CPT12 Response:
 Thank you for your email.
 
Colorado Public Television  upgraded a critical piece of equipment late Wednesday afternoon that inserts information into our signal that allows your receiver / tuner to acquire our channels and display our program guide information. After the installation, we ran several checks to ensure that our signal and program guide information were still available. This included tests with both profession receivers, like the ones DirecTV and Dish use to acquire our channels, as well as a number of consumer receivers that we have in-house. None of our normal monitoring at the station indicated a loss of signal.
 
After a thorough investigation yesterday, we were able to determine that there are a number of consumer receiver / tuners that process this information in a fashion that is different from the majority of receivers that are on the market and in people’s homes. It appears that you and your friend are two of our valued viewers that have these receiver / tuner types.
 
We have reconfigured the new encoder and believe we have corrected the problem, however you will need to do a rescan to pick up our signal again.
 
Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your support of Colorado Public Television and we apologize for the temporary loss of service.

Program: Inside Washington (1 comment)
As you records will indicate, I am a long time supporter of Channel 12. But I am concerned about your liberal bias on many programs. In particular, Inside Washington. Why do you have three liberals lined up against Charles Krauthammer? Couldn't it be a 50-50 split?
CPT12 Response:
 Thank you for your feedback and past support.
I am not sure what the thought process was behind Inside Washington’s choice of panel members, but it seems to me  Mr. Krauhammer usually gets  the last word.

Program: Jerry Yarnell School of Fine Art (2 comments)
I have already contacted you once about Jerry Yarnell's program that is on Monday mornings at 11 am. He just finished up a three part series on painting Tuscany. The first program was not shown and the second was shown twice, then Monday the third and final program was shown. He is supposed to start a new series next week and I am hoping all episodes will be aired. This is the second series that has been messed up. Maybe someone could preview this before it is aired??
CPT12 Response:
 I’m unable to see where we were leaving out episodes.  Our software indicates that we aired Jerry Yarnell School of Fine Art like this:
 
Mon, 04/09/2012 10:59:59, Tuscany, part 1 Jerry Yarnell School of Fine Art 22 /2201
Tue, 04/10/2012 04:00:04, Tuscany, part 1 Jerry Yarnell School of Fine Art 22 /2201
Mon, 04/16/2012 11:00:03, Tuscany, part 2 Jerry Yarnell School of Fine Art 22 /2202
Tue, 04/17/2012 04:00:00, Tuscany, part 2 Jerry Yarnell School of Fine Art 22 /2202
Mon, 04/23/2012 11:00:06, Tuscany, part 3 Jerry Yarnell School of Fine Art 22 /2203
Tue, 04/24/2012 04:00:02, Tuscany, part 3 Jerry Yarnell School of Fine Art 22 /2203
 
We have a similar pattern for the Ivy House project scheduled to start Monday morning.  During pledge drives, the late night repeat will be preempted, but the Tuscany series wasn’t interrupted.  Are you watching live, or are you recording the shows for later viewing?

Tonight’s shows are #104 “Ceremony Society” and #105 “Cosmology Belief”.
 
I hope this will make it easier to tell what shows are coming up.   We will finish the series again on the evening of April 30th.

I just wanted to commend you for broadcasting the show about Crop Circles on Thursday night. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing a TV show that was willing to look beyond traditional science explanations about what's going on in our world. There are too many shows on other channels that completely ignore the spiritual connections throughout our planet. Kudos to Channel 12 for having the courage to show a program like that! I hope to see more shows like it in the future!

Posted: April 20, 2012 by Name Withheld
First, let me say I am a supporting member ($$) and generally love your station. I was very excited to learn about your "What on Earth? Inside the Crop Circle Mystery" program. I set my email reminder for the show. I was so disapointed... there was maybe 10 minutes of "program", then the financial support pitch for a long time, then, REPLAYED the previously shown portion of the program!!! I turned it off. I really was interested in seeing the programing...not watching a glorified fundraiser. I understand your need to raise funds. Perhaps there is some way of noting on your programing schedule when you are showing FULL programs??. Sincerely, Annette Ballard
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.  Four segments of the What on Earth? -  was air during the pledge drive.  More than 50 min. of the show was aired.  As far as I know there were no repeats.  You can watch it again on April 21, at 4:00 p.m. on Channel 12.1.  Thank you for watching and supporting Colorado Public Television.

Crop Circle Program
Posted: April 19, 2012 by Robert Pease
In my opinion the rhetorical stlye of the presenters was not worthy of a station presenting itself as progressive. The "new age " approach made me stop watching the program. Skeptics and Scientists are regarded as cynics and Narrowly chauvinistic in world view and the "Magickal" worldview was presented an alternative . It's very sad to see Antiscience and Pseudoscience presented as Another way of experiencing "TROOTH" I weep for the future of America when Science is regarded as just for nerds and cynics BTW Cynicism is not Skepticism although frequently equated with it by those who cannot stand scrutiny.

Just want to thank you for your courage in doing the right thing and airing the 911 documentaries.... those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. Your efforts go a long way to stopping the planned genocide on American soil against true American patriots.

I can't say thanks or 'wow' enough regarding the show you put on tonight April 14,2012. I have tuned in on Saturday nights to (hear and see)real musicians play real music and Colbie Caillat blew me away. Every once in awhile a musician/songwriter comes along who is admired by audiences/fans and other musicians and she is one of those, a rare performer. I am probably the only person on the planet who had never had the good fortune to hear and see her perform (with her band) before tonight and I am very very happy that I have gotten to have the Colbie Caillat experience. Fantastic is what I have to say so good work CPT12.

THANK US for sending a contribution to the station. It is TOTALLY unnecessary ... and actually, it is a little silly. We send you a contribution because we want to support you, and find it a bit ridiculous to see that you are spending money for postcards and postage to thank US !! I'm sure the Post Office appreciates your patronage, but THAT IS NOT WHY WE CONTRIBUTE TO CHANNEL 12 ! It is to help with expenses ... and then you spend to send out Thank you cards ????? Sorry to criticize, but THE CARDS ARE A BAD IDEA. PLEASE DON'T SPEND OUR CONTRIBUTED SUPPORT FOR SUCH SILLINESS. If you want, you could thank all of your contributors with a simple: "Thanks to those of you who have sent us contributions" with that on-the-air message. PLEASE DON'T mention names --- We know who we are ! ! ! Thanks for considering suspending your "thank you for your contribution" ! !

The Desert Speaks
Posted: April 12, 2012 by Benson Parker
For about two months you have been airing The Desert Speaks once a week, this week it is on Saturday 4/14 at 2:30 in the afternoon. I set my television to record it and for the past 6 weeks or so you have been showing the same program, the same episode, of The Desert Speaks. You have show the program where the host goes to Peru at least six weeks in a row. Does anyone down there actually watch what you are showing?
CPT12 Response:
 I am not sure about what the issue is….the subject mater of the last three episodes is quite similar, although they should be upon closer inspection different episodes.
 
I am unaware of any technical issues here –although that would be one explanation - , and so far you are the only viewer to write in. Is it possible that there is some issue with your recording device?
 
Here’s what should have aired:
Sat, Mar/24/12 People Locked in Time: The Atacama Desert Desert Speaks, The   1808  
Sat, Mar/31/12 Tracking Trade in the Chilean Andes Desert Speaks, The   1809  
Sat, Apr/07/12  Desert Descent: Chile's Atacama Desert Speaks, The   1810         
 
Everything looks good to me, please let us know if the problem persists.

He was showing us how to paint a painting named - Tuscany and it was supposed to have three programs, but it started on the second program. You did not air the #1 program where he shows how to start the painting. Can you still air this one? Next week (April 16) he said he would show the third in this series of three.

I love this show and look forward to Sunday evenings. I'm glad nothing else is on, otherwise I might not have discovered it. You need some speed reading skills for some episodes, they talk so fast the subtitles blaze across the screen...but their gesturing tells the story too. The better foreign shows eventually get an Americanized version, but it's never as good, and I can't imagine a better version of this one.

Richard Bangs like 99% of humanity refuses to recognize that over population is THE MAIN CAUSE of global climate change. He asked on the show, "What can we do to save the planet for our grandchildren?" Duh, how about not producing so many children and grandchildren! Therein lies the problem and he refuses to even discuss that. And, tragically, a smaller population isn't going to happen. The vast majority of humans want children and grandchildren and all the hybrids and energy saving light bulbs, education, and conservation aren't going to be enough to save the planet, the glaciers, forests and seas from destruction. We are destroying our planet's environment and very few people, and certainly no politicians that I know of, have the courage to wake up humanity to the simple fact that PEOPLE are the problem!

Why did you take off grit TV with Laura Flanders? Definitely the most informative, intuitive and tell it like it is program anywhere. And why did you put it on an hour when almost no one could watch it? Huge thumbs down for "public" TV. You lost my support, ever. Let's watch all the mamby pamby B.S. crap you and every other station calls news. Goose Step in line, 12. Go back to the High street days when you were real.
CPT12 Response:
 We did not “take” Laura Flanders off the air.  She ceased production of her previous series one year ago after a fire in her studio among other issues.  Last I heard she was looking for her new series to return to distribution via Executive Program Services last Fall. 
When I contacted them trying to get an update on the status of her new series, they informed me it was still pending.
 
I assure you that we will continue to monitor the situation.
You might consider writing her directly for status updates.

Program: Democracy Now! (3 comments)
How can you guys maintain your 501C status when you have the likes of Amy Goodman kicking back and allowing the likes of Van Jones to say whatever the hell he wants unchecked? I understand Democracy NOw does not receive public funding to produce the show, but CPT12 does. I think it is hilarious that CPT12 runs that spot with different personalities claiming they think people trust CPT12 for reason X, Y,or Z. Its pretty hypocritical when you prop up your own programming by claiming that it is the honest to goodness truth, when the majority of your news programming is actually opinion based on someone's thinking rather than factual information. This kind of programming is the exact reason why I would never drop spend a red nickle to help CPT to continue its programming. The only reason I watch your station is to blog about the lies you allow to air. Nary a week goes by that I don't put the badmouth on CPT12, PBS, APT, etc . . . It is evident that public broadcasting is nothing more than an extension of the Democratic Party these days. PBS Newshour, Washington This Week, Need to Know, and Moyers & CO are all guilty of denigrating the right. I'm not so closed minded that I am not objective in my thinking; but, I am not so blind that I can't see the bias. I do not believe Public Broadcasters should be allowed to use the tax dollars of the hard working citizens of our nation to promote the freeloading ways of the left. If it were all about Sesame Street and Arthur, I'd have no problem supporting public broadcasting. ON the other hand, I feel that public broadcasting should not be involved in the daily news cycle. CPT12 needs to clean up its programming if it wants my money or I'll be working against you. Should the right regain control over the U.S. Senate, and maintain control over the House in the upcoming election, you can bet I'll be out there pushing to have the tax emempt status for Public Broadcasting stations revoked. The matter has been brought to the floor before, so its no stretch to think it could happen again.
CPT12 Response:
 Thanks for your note. 

As a quick initial clarification,  I would like to point out that we do not air PBS Newshour, Washington This Week, or Need to Know
 
You are correct, however,  that we do air both Democracy Now and Moyers and CO.  
But why stop there?  We also air Devil’s Advocate with Jon Caldara, which surely makes the Left cringe   - at least a little.  We are also famous for having aired the Rush Limbaugh series adjacent to the local LGBT community-focused The Lambda Report for years.   Every week I hear from viewers who demand that we stop airing one series or documentary for one reason or another be it the Mass for Shut-Ins on Sunday mornings produced by the Catholic Archdiocese of Denver or the quirky documentary about lyme disease called Under Our Skin which offended some in  the medical/scientific community. 

In fact our most confrontational programming choices are probably in these one-off documentaries. How can we possibly be familiar with all of the territory covered in these films?
This week alone we aired documentaries on:
  • Jewish Soldiers in the Civil War
  • Girls aged 6-17 drawn into the sex trade in Kolkata, India
  • Micro-lending in Bangladesh
  • Water Infrastructure
  • Election campaign finance reform
  • The 2008 Economic crash
 
We couldn’t possibly research the accuracy of all of the claims of all of this material.  Who could? 
Look: We are not actively seeking being controversial or maintaining some kind of bias.
My point is that we try to incorporate many diverse voices  to allow our viewers to have a informed discussion on the issues at hand.
 
I hope this helps provide at least a little context for our programming decisions.
 
Thank you.

Trayvon Martin/race relations
Posted: April 6, 2012 by Brenda Carr
Program: Studio 12 (4 comments)
I found this show very provacative & a conversation WE all need to have. However, I found the comments by Ms.Corry concerning the way her daughters are educated about race APPALLING! To say she is aware that we need improvement in race & also to talk about these issues in America is a good thing. But she then goes on to say how at her daughter's EXPENSIVE PRIVATE school (which SHE made sure we all understood the distinction-expensive...AND private), they bring in a TOKEN MINORITY 9HER words!!), all gather around & swoon & pat on the back, then forget about that TOKEN minority as the gather to drink their wine......?????? WHAT???? Is this lady for REAL??? I can't believe nobody on the panel called her out on that utterly OFFENSIVE response! First, that is NOT teaching your daughters anything about race other than how to look down upon others as "TOKENS" to stare at while you enjoy your PRIVILEGE! What is so up with that completely backwards way your learning environment chooses to expose their privileged kids to cultural differences, this is 2012, NOT 1890! WHOA, I can't even believe she said that stuff! Second, HOW, pray tell, is that schools/Ms. Corry teaching those children ANYTHING about equality, social & otherwise, when the OBVIOUSLY teach other cultures AS something in a zoo we at the top stare down at?? (As evidenced by the way she herself SAID they do introductions to other cultures!). If this lady truly cared about making a difference in her daughters lives & others lives, as far as IMPROVING race-relations, she would not go about it by teaching SEPARATION of classes! My neighborhood has been HEAVILY gentrified, but all the new white people are TRYING to improve the PUBLIC SCHOOLS, along with the old timers from the neighborhood, TOGETHER! So that ALL children are at least allowed the same opportunities to succeed. The children mingle & play TOGETHER, as to learn we are all here TOGETHER-not separated & looked upon as DIFFERENT & worthy of condecending looks of aw! Sheesh, I am still rolling how white people are so elitist they can't even HEAR when a person of colour is telling them life is different, there are 2 America's, one for whites & one for the rest of us, being told this is OUR EXPERIENCE & have somebody white STILL shoot it down as "No sirree, Bob, ya got that wrong"! What does a white lady know about being a person of colour in this land? Nothing! So if told, LISTEN, don't say it isn't so! Because in YOUR experience it isn't so, but your expereince is NOT MY experience, respectfully.

Time for a Teletunes Re-Boot
Posted: April 2, 2012 by Stan Garcia
Whatever happened to the Gen-X music videos of the 80's and 90's? In Denver there was an iconic show featuring these artistic and often independent short films. Teletunes was a show ahead of it's time, and still remembered fondly by many viewers with the means and funds to bring more donations to the station. The Gen-X'ers are at the age of financial independance, wanting to expierence that nastalgia of their youth. I believe that this is the right time, and enviorment to start a Teletunes re-boot. Using the original footage, an on-air host could walk the viewer down memory lane. While also making comparisons to current bands, and corrisponding videos. These shows could have featured artist, and emphasize the growing local music scene. With this format, and name recognition I believe the following will not only include the original fanbase, but there will be an overwhelming support system from the music business community. Please consider dusting off those hidden tapes, and introducing a whole new generation to the beauty that was Teletunes. Thank you Stan Garcia

Program: Vanguard Cinema (3 comments)
May I ask ask what happened to the schedule which was on the web site Thursday evening? I tuned in a little after 7:00 p.m. and saw a British show. Then I tuned in an hour later and saw "As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me". Wasn't "as Far as…" meant to be a two hour show? Thank you.
CPT12 Response:
 Vanguard Cinema "As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me" ran on Thursday night from 7 pm to 9 pm on 12.3.  Here’s a description for it:
 
Based on the true story and a bestselling novel, this powerful epic captures the incredible journey of German soldier Clemens Forell in his dramatic escape from a Siberian labor camp after World War II. Through bitter cold winters, desolate landscapes, and life threatening adventures, Forell – determined to be reunited with his beloved family – makes his way, step by step, day by day, towards freedom. 8,000 miles and three endless years of uncertainty later, he is finally about to reach his destination… An edge of your seat drama that celebrates the power of the human spirit and the force of will, when inspired and empowered, by love. Directed by Hardy Martins, 2003, color. In German with English subtitles.
 
It’s difficult to tell what you may have seen.  Maybe it was something in the break before Vanguard Cinema began.

12-3 programming
Posted: March 25, 2012 by Name Withheld
My husband and I are nightly viewers of 12.3 and are annual contributors. We have recently had two concerns. First, the same program will appear on 12.2 and 12.3 at the same exact time. Second, for the past two weeks, the same Vanguard movie has been shown on Thursday nights. In addition, it was a rerun of an earlier film. Why? Has MhZ run out of foreign films? Thanks.
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.  A couple of weeks ago we had technical problems and we aired the same programs on 12.3 as 12.2.  The problem has been fixed and you should be getting the regular programming for each individual channel.

why no masterpiece?
Posted: March 24, 2012 by williams linda
I am a viewer of free tv..meaning I have no cable or dish service..rabbit ears only..I don't get pbs on channel 6..I get channel 12 1,2,and 3 very well but I am deeply saddened that chanel 12 doesn't provide masterpiece theatre or masterpiece mystery. I thought it was on channel 12 also.
CPT12 Response:
CPT12 is able to purchase only a percentage of PBS programming due to our license agreement.  Much of our programming schedule comes from ancillary services.  At this time, Masterpiece is not among our programming acquisitions.  We have been getting quite a response for the prime time drama series on 12.3.  If you haven’t sampled some of those series, you may want to have a look.

March 21 Studio 12
Posted: March 22, 2012 by Claudia Kuhns
Program: Studio 12 (4 comments)
Last nights Studio 12 on GMO vs. Organic was appalling. There are studies which show that GMO crops are harmful and show evidence of organ damage in laboratory animals after only 90 days of eating some Monsanto GMO corn varieties. This study was published by Gilles-Eric Seralini, Dominique Cellier, and Joe: Spiroux de Vendomois in a European scientific journal. You can find this article at http://www.springerlink.com/content/02648wu132m07804/fulltext.html. The CSU professor was clearly misinformed. It is interesting that Monsanto funds many agricultural school research projects. So his point of view is suspect. There are many incidences of harm caused by GMO crops, some of which are currently failing. The herbicide Roundup (glyphosate) is a carcinogen and a neuro-toxin that can cause birth defects. This chemical is heavily sprayed on GMO crops and is required in greater amounts due to the evolution of super weeds which have become immune to glyphosate. Other pesticides associated with GMO crops are also failing and creating super worms. This program was below the standards I have come to expect from Colorado Public Television. It would be nice to hear some scientists who oppose GMO's.

Celtic Woman concert & tickets

Program: Celtic Woman - Believe (1 comment)
Cpt12, We love the Celtic Woman, we could watch and listen to then over and over again. We wonder though, why does it seem as though the venue for their concerts, keep getting smaller? It sends as if fewer and fee of us can have an opportunity to go to a concert for them because there are fewer tickets available due to the small venue. Will they ever get to appear at Red Rocks, Fiddlers Green (or whatever it is now named), or DU or Mile High Stadium? It would be a wonderful experience at any of the afore mentioned venues! Having the concert there would, hopefully, allow for a wider ranger in ticket prices. Please try to find out if Celtic Woman would be able to appear here in Colorado, at a larger venue and maybe for 2 nights. Thank you.

My husband I have really enjoyed the Italian, Swedish and other mysteries This week it appears you are no longer showing them. We have told our neighbor and others about watching them but now they can't. Who ever selected the mysteries did a good job showing more family style shows. Thanks for offering them when you did.

Possible New Programming for CPT12 Viewers
Posted: March 11, 2012 by Bob Calvert
Hello I am Bob Calvert host of a non political program www.talkingwithheroes.com. I am based out of Colorado Springs. For the past 7 years I have been doing what I could in supporting our troops, veterans and families including 5 trips to Iraq and 3 to Afghanistan. I have not money with this project. However I do raise funds with sponsors to cover my trips across the country plus I have made 5 trips over to Iraq and 3 to Afghanistan from 2006 to 2011. On two of those trips I teamed up with Jim Martin President of Altitude Sports and Entertainment based out of Denver. When I make these trips our mission is to document on video with our troops, civilians and local people the progress and positive stories that most Americans do not get to see much of if any. We now have hundreds of video episodes on our youtube page www.youtube.com/bobc9246 and recently we sent out our Call to Action: Adopt our Troops Progress Stories Campaign - Share Their Stories across America. You can see the news release at http://thankyouforyourservice.us/issue/march-2012/article/call-to-action-adopt-our-troops-progress-stories-campaign It is also on our home page www.talkingwithheroes.com Two weeks ago I was flown to Wash., DC where I was one of their keynote speakers at a national American Legion event. In addition we did interviews and shout outs to our troops with about 40 of these Veterans and Leaders. We also interviewed an Afghanistan Veteran Ross Cohen at the US Chamber of Commerce and Iraq Veteran Grant Moon with VALoanCaptain These videos will all be on Youtube later this month. The Veterans Shout Outs to our Troops will be videos we will all want to get out to our Active Duty Military who are deployed and who are back home!!! It is great to see Americans who can put aside politics for those who sacrifice so much for our country.. the troops, veterans and their families. Our Troops would like to see their mostly unheard stories to be watched by Millions of Americans. We believe that everybody who supports our Troops, Families and Veterans will want to help. I am currently working on an even bigger trip back over to Afghanistan for later this year. One of the brigades I will be with on this next trip will be Ft Carsons 4BCT4ID who I was also with in Afghanistn in 2010. Also Mississippi National Guard, Ft Riley Brigades and more. I have been told by one of the videographers going with me that a Public Television Station in the south is interested in the footage we will bring back with Mississippi National Guard. Recently I have received calls from a TV Producer in Alabama who wants to put footage from my 2011 trip to Iraq and Afghanistan on 5 cable networks in Alabama as a half hour program. Also I am being put in touch with the owner of a Cable Network based out of Dallas that covers 125 markets about us signing an agreement to put our unedited footage with our troops also on their network plus to launch a new Support Our Troops TV News Program that I have been planning....on their network. In the past I have been interviewed by all of the TV Stations here in the Springs. I have thought about talking with them about launching a similar type of interview program I did from 2005 into 2007 on the internet.. but this time on TV interviewing troops, veterans, military support and veterans groups, covering issues of PTSD, TBI, homeless veterans and much more. And taking this program nationwide. With the calls I am now getting I think we may be heading closer to launching this new TV Program. I have been watching your CPT12.org station this morning and felt led to send you this message to see if you would all have interest in talking with me.

Wrong Programing being shown on NHK
Posted: March 11, 2012 by Charles Lehman
We regularly watch NHK programming on Channel 12-2, KBD12, on DIRECTV. For the past several days the programming was not NHK. We set our TIVO to record the NHK programming. This in not the fault of DIRECTV. TIVO, but the programming being shown during the scheduled NHK programming is different yet NHK is listed. What happened and when will you fix this? Charles and Junko Lehman

Thanks for writing and we’re glad you both enjoy MHz WorldView.  We have had an equipment failure and are waiting for a replacement unit which we thought would arrive Saturday but looks like it didn’t arrive as we had hoped.  So we’re on the case and should have a resolution shortly.
 
Here is the posting from our website under ‘What’s New’ from Friday:
 
IMPORTANT UPDATE on Channel 12.3 MHz WorldView- 12.3 will be down until further notice. Now streaming 12.2 onto 12.3 resulting in a duplicate channel for those who receive all 3 of our channels.

Channel 12-3
Posted: March 11, 2012 by Name Withheld
The programs that were scheduled to appear on Channel 12-3 have instead been replaced over the last few days by the same programs that are running on 12-2. Have you lost satellite connections due to the solar flairs? Or are you dropping Channel 12-3 as a separate channel? Or did everyone go home Friday afternoon and assume that everything would run okay on auto-pilot? With no announcement appearing on screen, such as when you temporarily lose a signal, viewers are left in the dark.

Keep showing Default; The Student Loan Documentary
Posted: March 10, 2012 by Name Withheld
I think it is in the public's best interest to continue airing the film, Default: the Student Loan Documentary. As an adult with student loans and I have hit hard times due having to file for bankruptcy due to medical reasons from toxic mold exposure. I can gratefully and thankfully say with unequivocal confidence that I would not have wanted it any other way because I survived and so did my husband and our son who was greatly impacted by the mold. This has been an ongoing process over the last 7 years and I am alive to share my story. Recently, I posted a comment to Senator Harkin on how to help boost the American economy and I am re-posting it here as well because there are so many improprieties within the student loan lending system that I truly believe deserves more media attention. "Lets stop the financial corporate monopoly on our collegiate level educational system by nonprofits and for-profits. The truth is there is no choice when the universities and financial institutions stand to benefit from helping indenture ...young people to a life of slavery to a student loan system that is a monopoly with other major corporations owning them. SIGNING FOR A STUDENT LOAN IS BASICALLY SIGNING IN BLOOD. Look at Xerox, look at Sallie Mae (who is now privatized). Who allowed this to happen? Look at Matteo Fontana. There are NO EXTERNAL CONTROLS TO MONITOR THE STUDENT LOAN INDUSTRY CONDUCT. Who is protecting the American student? There are no student rights, only rights for the financial institutions. Loans can be transferred and transferred and transferred with NO legitimate controls of authority over these transfers while interest rates increase and who is monitoring them? My husband has his own story. For me, after I asked to take a lesser amount, I was told from the financial aid adviser that this was FREE money, take the money. The money is anything but free AND I did not receive full disclosure of the terms of the contract loan, which I have now learned. I had to file bankruptcy due to medical reasons due to toxic mold (not at all pleasant & extremely humbling) and I can state from experience that this system appears corrupt because something stinks. How can Educational Credit Management Corporation, who does business as ECMC, not have to file a "Certificate of Assumed Name" in their incorporating state according to the State's law? They sent out a letter in March of 2010 to 3.3. million clients that their personal data was stolen and the only way they identified themselves was "ECMC". Why does the corporation enforcing these loans not have to follow the laws that made them a corporation and "breathed" life into them? How can Educational Credit Management Corporation have a link to the Federal Reserve Fund? How can one of the board members be a past ABA President who sits as a delegate for the Uniform Law Commission and helps direct state law, be a part of the organization that is making any bankruptcy discharge of student loans near impossible? Especially now that everything falls under the William D. Ford program that will now force everyone into an income contingent 20+ year program that then any forgiven amount is taxable to the IRS and then the debtor's personal items that were protected by bankruptcy law now becomes available ? Who is Scantron? I think I read they own 80% in their service to the educational field. Who is eNumerate? How does this link to Educational Credit Management Corporation? What about the Higher Education Agency Foundation that went belly-up from the Bank of Horton deal in Kansas back in the late 80's, early 90's? How can Val Vikmanis in 2007 still be paid around $300,000 by Educational Credit Management Corporation as a past board member when he is the one who helped transition HEAF to Ed. Cred. Mgmt. Corp? He said in an article, he wanted to become a "bad loan debt collector." Who is monitoring this? How does Terri Shaw get to bounce from one educational entity to another and help run the government FSA system? I have read the Department of Education's OIG reports on their interaction and review of Educational Credit Management Corporation. Have you? Will you? How can they have for-profit affiliates that have benefited from a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt corporation? Now they are starting their own for-profit lending institutions. How is this legitimate? Who is going to care? In my opinion, if you want to help the middle class then you will do something about these players within the educational student loan system and implement controls over their conduct and hold them accountable while allowing for legitimate bankruptcy protections. I had to file pro-se because I can not afford an attorney, and to make it through the whole process, I basically need an attorney because if I do not perform to the Court's standards, there will be no discharge. The Department of Education is allowing this to happen. Well, I would like to know who is protecting the student loan borrower from what appears to be a conflict of interest when persons like Terri Shaw can start at Sallie Mae, go to eNumerate Solutions Inc, then to Federal Student Aid, then Educational Credit Management Corporation, and now to Scantron. These are all major players within the educational system. Who investigates conflict of interest?"

I also enjoy the international news sites as they provide more information than most other news broadcasts. Please, please bring them back to channel 12.3.

Just by accident, I tuned in earlier this week to Bill Moyers' and Joseph Campbell's Power of Myth. I have missed previous airings of the program, but was delighted to indulge in the rich and thought-provoking ideas presented. It really hit 'home.' This is a phenomenal program - would it be possible to run single episodes on successive nights or weeks? So much to digest and ponder.... Thank you for airing such an inspiring program!

Are there more "Beck" episodes coming?

Program: Beck (2 comments)
I love Martin Beck! Are there more episodes coming? Tonight and for two more Saturdays, he's replaced by Irene Huss. I am so excited about Beck that I am now reading the first of the book series, "Roseanna" (from Denver Public Library).
CPT12 Response:
You may or may not have known that our Channel 12.3 which is MHz WorldView was off-the-air from Friday until this morning.  We had an equipment failure and simulcasted our Channel 12.2 in its place.  So unfortunately, many viewers missed some of their favorite shows.  Since we pass-through the programming from MHz, we don’t have control over the schedule or content so I can’t say whether or not any programs will be repeated.  Here is a link to their schedule: http://www.mhznetworks.org/mhzworldview/programming/ and upcoming episodes:
We apologize for any disruption to your favorite programs.  It sounds like ‘Beck’ was a good program that has inspired you to read more about him.

Channel Problems

Both 12.2 and 12.3 are airing the same programs. Is there something wrong with your antenna?

Thanks for writing and we’re glad you enjoy MHz WorldView.  We have had an equipment failure and are waiting for a replacement unit hopefully today.
 
Here is the posting from our website from yesterday:
 
IMPORTANT UPDATE on Channel 12.3 MHz WorldView- 12.3 will be down until further notice. Now streaming 12.2 onto 12.3 resulting in a duplicate channel for those who receive all 3 of our channels. Direct TV customers who only receive 12.1 and 12.3, you will now temporarily see 12.2 in lieu of 12.3. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working with MHZ Worldview to get this fixed as soon as possible. Thank you.

Thank the spirits that it is only an equipment failure that has temporarily disrupted MHz and international mysteries. Channel 12.3 is a godsend when compared with Channel 12 and Channel 6, with their commercialization, outright ads, their bizarre pot-pourri of repetitive infomercials disguised as fund raisers, endless cooking shows, ditto for kids shows, right-wing news shows (Lehrer News Hour comes to mind), repeated Nova shows, etc. Channel 12.3 is at least a start in the right direction in presenting what public TV could, and should, be. ---With regard to funding problems, American public TV (and radio) should be 100 percent funded by tax monies: 75% federal, 20% state, and 5% local. The funding should be devoted in the sense that continuity is assured regardless of the vagaries of political winds.

This is what CPT 12 does: they hook you with a program and then make you beg to rebroadcast the program that you watch. Why don't they run a crawl with the information that they are having (?) network problems. Will the shows that were scheduled be rebroadcast?
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.  On Friday of last week we had technical difficulties with our equipment.  We needed a new part.  We just got the part today and Worldview MHz 12.3 is up and running again.  We are not sure if Worldview will re-air some their programs.  Worldview MHz usually makes those decisions.

Where is MHZ?
Posted: March 10, 2012 by Name Withheld
I am very disappointed that MHZ is not being broadcast this evening (3-9-12). I hope this is one evening of reception problems rather than a permanent change in programming. This offering by 12-3 for CPT has been a refreshing change to the usual fare. International Mystery, as well as news programs and discussion forums, that present information and art from other parts of the world, represent the best breadth of broadcasting. I hope to see the MHZ programming back tomorrow. Thank you, DH

12.3 Worldview
Posted: March 9, 2012 by Vicki Tosher
Glad to hear you are attempting get MHz WorldView programming back on the air. We were very dismayed this evening to find it off the air. 12.3 is the Channel I watch most frequently not only for the variety of news provided but also for International Mystery. We are not cable or dish subscribers for two reasons: can't afford it and don't feel it provides anything better than what we can get for free. And so far it has been totally free. In future I will donate to Colorado Public Television, but PLEEZE get MHz Worldview back. It has become a nightly ritual in our household. thanks!

Thank you for airing this series again. This show is actually the reason I first became a public broadcasting supporter back in about 1990 (in Florida). I was so engrossed and inspired, I absolutely had to send in my support. Seeing it again now, I love it even more, and it's come at a very good time to renew my spirit. I love Joseph Campbell, and I love Bill Moyers even more, he is absolutely my hero. Thank you PBS for giving him a home for his amazing and very important work!! And thank you also for ALL of the educational and enlightening shows you air, I've learned more from shows like the Bill Moyers series, NOVA, Frontline, Charlie Rose, etc. (I could list at least 20 regular shows in addition to these wonderful offerings at pledge time), than I could ever have learned in classrooms. Sending a wink and a smile to Joe Campbell wherever his energy is now, and a-- You Totally Rock!! to Bill Moyers! Thank you for un-retiring! We need you.

Nutrition vs Pharmaceuticals
Posted: March 8, 2012 by Stuart Lindsey
There has been a rather heateddiscussion on this website over the validity of pharmaceuticals vs. vitamins/supplements. The discussion veered away from the issues to become a pompous, cruel on Dr. Saul. I always hate this kind of diatribe where a person with an upper level degree somehow makes the intellectual leap that that person is now an expert at everything. Mr. Ziegler seems to believe the nutritional approach is intrinsically dangerous yet the American Association of Poison Control Centers report no deaths (zero, nada, zip) in the 28 years the group has been making reports. The AERS (Adverse Events Reporting System) that is managed by the FDA reports 452,780 deaths from prescription drugs from 2000-2010. As a practicing pharmacist for 18 years, I constantly observe the failure of prescription drugs to fix a stated problem. It was an ironic statement from the head of the large pharmaceutical manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) said in 2005 that fewer than half of patients prescribed some of the most expensive drugs actually derived any benefit from them that made me think of this issue. Dispensing drugs for Alzheimers or cancer then waiting for the patient to be cured just doesn't happen in too many cases. I don't care which side of the argument health success rests on. If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't. I can think of numerous failures of pharmaceuticals to solve problems. You don't have a bad heart rhythm because you are low on digoxin. A child does not have ADHD becsuse they are low on methylphenidate. Type 2 diabetes isn't being low on metformin. If you exclude a group of substances because you don't like the documentary in which they are explained, maybe you missed the whole point of your education. If you are only going to memorize information from the pharaceutical industry that has an acute monetary agenda you don't even have to go to class; just send your tape recorder. But if the educational goal is to teach you how to think on your own, maybe you missed something important, Mr. Ziegler. Stuart Lindsey PharmD Las Vegas, NV

We are really missing the kids' programs at 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. (Martha Speaks and Curious George). The schedule seems to show that they will be back on in a couple of weeks. But it's hard to explain that to a 5-year old that loves to watch a show before school. This is the only decent kids' show in the morning - please bring it back! I don't want to subject him to the Disney channel. Thank you!
CPT12 Response:
Thanks for writing and we’re happy that son enjoys our programming.  As you probably know, we need to occasionally fundraise to keep these and other great shows on-the-air.  If only we didn’t need to fundraise!  So this is why the show sometimes gets pre-empted.  You can always find the latest schedule at:
 
http://www.cpt12.org/tv_schedule/programs_a-z.cfm.
 
Did you also know that we have a kid’s block of programming (Clifford, Wild Kratts, Arthur) from 6 – 7:30am on our Channel 12.2 (Comcast 251)?  This may be an option for some before school viewing during pledge drives on our primary Channel 12 (a.k.a. 12.1).

Why bother?

It seems like you guys have gone to full time fund raising. Same old tired programming, nothing new and exciting. Isn't it about time to throw in the towel and give up the slot, or else merge with 6 and combine resources.
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.
Colorado Public Television is not ready to throw in the towel quite yet.
The reason we repeat a pledge program is because it is bringing in revenue. Programs that do not pledge well are not repeated.  
Why some programs pledge well and why others do not is a mystery to all PBS stations across the country.
You do have options. Please consider tuning into our other fine channels 12.2 or 12.3 when 12.1 is in pledge mode.

Dangerous Television! Let's Censor PBS, and Fast!
Posted: March 2, 2012 by Andrew Saul
Program: FoodMatters (6 comments)
I just love being called "dangerous." Have you complained to PBS? Are they hiding behind that darned First Amendment again? Remember the old psychiatrist said, Joe: Just because you are not paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you. Any nutrition or biology student knows that vitamins, by definition, are not drugs. Golly, Joe, what is it about nutrition therapy that upsets you so much? Mayo Clinic researcher William Parsons,MD, has put to bed the myth that niacin therapy causes liver toxicity. His work is discussed, **by him**, in detail, in my book Niacin: The Real Story. You might want to read it, but perhaps after you enjoy the benefits of a Valium or two. There are no "secrets" here, and no conspiracies. There is simply a lot of good science that shows that vitamins cure diseases, and that even common drugs are excessively dangerous. Here, as promised, are more examples: ** A Harvard study showed a 27% decrease in deaths among AIDS patients taking vitamin supplements. (Fawzi WW et al. A randomized trial of multivitamin supplements and HIV disease progression and mortality. N Engl J Med. 2004 Jul 1;351(1):23-32. Free full text article at http://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMoa040541 ** Women who take two aspirin tablets per day have an 86 percent greater risk of pancreatic cancer. Fox M. Daily aspirin use linked with pancreatic cancer. Reuters, Oct 27, 2003. http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/10/27/cancer.aspirin.reut/index.html .

Clin Infect Dis. 2008 Sep 15;47(6):735-43. **Multiple sclerosis was arrested and reversed with the vitamin-based treatment plan of Frederick Robert Klenner, M.D. Free download at http://www.townsendletter.com/Klenner/KlennerProtocol_forMS.pdf ** Want to really learn about high-dose vitamin C therapy? You read Clinical Guide to the Use of Vitamin C free of charge. Full text of this book by Lendon H. Smith, M.D. is posted at http://www.seanet.com/~alexs/ascorbate/198x/smith-lh-clinical_guide_1988.htm Writes Dr. Smith: "I have used Dr. Klenner's methods on hundreds of patients. He is right. It helps almost every condition and situation, and my failures were due to inadequate amounts." Thank you, Joe, for encouraging me. Please keep your comments coming, and I promise to keep posting more resources and references for people to read and make up their own minds.
Consult with your doctor before starting any medications, vitamins or supplements
Posted: March 1, 2012 by Joe Ziegler
Program: FoodMatters (6 comments)
Andrew Saul, Of course vitamins are drugs! You didn’t know? As with anything (drug, vitamin or otherwise) that is biologically active it can be dangerous when used in excess. FYI the National DRUG Code (NDC) for vitamin E is 001820079 (for 200IU). Even “vitamins” need FDA approval before being used for experimental purposes (clinical trials ect.). Also, many of the drugs we use today are analogs of vitamins. A good example would be isotretinoin, a very potent and potentially dangerous (due to renal issues among others) derivative of vitamin A (but you probably already knew that, right?). 1) So, I guess you are citing your own website as a reference now, laughable!! (nice plug though) 2) So, no comment on niacin? Am I just making up the fact that there is no LDL-C lowering benefit? Am I just making up hepatic necrosis too? Keep in mind some forms of niacin are only available via prescription due to the potential risks. Oh, yes, these are ABSOLUTLY safe at any dose (sarcasm). 3) All I have to say about lipid therapy is NCEP ATP III guidelines (have you heard of them? It doesn’t get any more peer reviewed than this, they are based on landmark studies) http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/cholesterol/atp3_rpt.htm. Please join me in the current century with drug therapy. I wish there was a magic bullet that cured everything but there isn’t. Trust me when I say there isn’t a secret cure “they” don’t want us to know about. 4) I just want to stress everything in moderation. I endorse a healthy diet and active lifestyle (even supplements such as calcium and possibly others at RECOMMENDED doses). 5) So are you suggesting that people “doctor themselves” with injections of IV vitamin C without doctors supervision? You are DANGEROUS. Thank you for your consideration, Joseph Ziegler Pharm.D. candidate 2014 University of Colorado Health Sciences Center Anschutz

Always Glad to Help Educate the Pharmaphilic
Posted: March 1, 2012 by Andrew Saul
Program: FoodMatters (6 comments)
Our pharmacist friend Joseph seems to believe that nutrients are dangerous and drugs, somehow, are not. It's a nice legend, but only a legend. Nutrient therapy is safe and effective. There is a whole body of knowledge out there waiting for those interested. A lot of this is at my peer-reviewed natural healing website, www.doctoryourself.com. But don't take my word for it: let's do some more reading. For example, a large number of free-access, peer-reviewed articles on nutritional treatments are posted at http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/index.shtml (scroll down for the full archive). You can also read a detailed treatment plan written by medical doctors who have actually halted and reversed cancer with intravenous vitamin C. http://www.doctoryourself.com/RiordanIVC.pdf Here is an interesting video clip on high-dose vitamin C by a board-certified cardiologist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0GC9Fq8lfg Here is an opinion, written by a Pharm D, strongly in support of nutrient therapy, and quite critical of pharmaceutical-based medicine: http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v08n05.shtml Some people seem to think that what they do not learn in school is not worth the knowing. Although I often speak for orthomolecular medicine, and have for 36 years, the real experts in this area are in fact physicians with more training than me, and EVEN more training than our pharmacist friend Joe. But please do keep your comments coming, Joe. The more you write, the more references I will post.

Thank you for your response. Although your Ph.D. is not from an accredited organization I would consider you a doctor, just not one qualified to speak about this topic of medicine (correct me if I’m wrong). If I need an expert in human behavior (or how to sell a book) you would be my go-to guy! I think you know why your book is controversial in the medical community, because your ideas do not make sense and there are huge volumes of data (clinical trials ect.) to support the opposite of what you are preaching. Yes, I do not doubt that Dr. Steven E. Nissen said: "Niacin is really it. Nothing else available is that effective." But what is the context!! I bet you he was talking about reduction of triglycerides and increase in HDL-C. However niacin does not reduce LDL-C (also known as the “bad cholesterol”), which is the goal for health benefits. Am I right? And you should know better than most that "All things are poison and nothing (is) without poison; only the dose makes that a thing is no poison." ~Paracelsus. As you know you can die from dinking too much water! You are correct in saying that people aren’t reported of having died from vitamins, the cause of death is reported as other manifestations/diseases caused by the drug eg. liver failure or renal failure. Why do you think niacin has a max dose of 4.5g daily, would it be due to Hepatotoxicity (liver toxicity), Rhabdomyolysis (muscle wasting) and Hepatic Necrosis (liver cell death)!?! (resource Micromedex). ALL I’m saying is that it doesn’t seem as though you have the patients better interest at heart in this matter and you could be hurting people that decide to “doctor themselves”. Please, please, please consult your physician before starting or stopping a new medication (including dose and frequency) especially including over the counter medications, vitamins and herbals/supplements or changes in diet (especially those on Warfarin). I don’t know what your motivation is Kevin Trudeau… uh, I mean Andrew Saul, but please be careful of what you preach, there are people out there that unknowingly will listen.

Always a pleasure to have reason and opportunity to respond to such polite postings! Let's start with a couple of facts, shall we? 1) Dr. Steven E. Nissen, president of the American College of Cardiology said: "Niacin is really it. Nothing else available is that effective." 2) According to national data collected by the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC), over a twenty-eight year period, vitamin supplements have been alleged to have caused the deaths of a total of eleven people in the United States. A new analysis of US poison control center annual report data indicates that there have, in fact, been no deaths whatsoever from vitamins . . . none at all, in the 28 years that such reports have been available. May I add than **most** "real doctors", such as Pharm Ds, Phds, MDs, and all other professionals, rarely need to resort to name-calling.

Hello, I just wanted to encourage people to be extremely careful about what this guy is saying. He is NOT an M.D. his M.S. is in education and his Ph.D. is in human ethology (behavior)!!! You are probably just as qualified to speak on this subject as he is. This guy is just trying to sell a book. I fear people will hurt themselves taking bad advice based on opinion not grounded in reality or science. I'm a health care professional (Pharm.D. candidate 2014, yes a real doctor), we are trained in not only medicine but also natural medicines. I would like to stress that these both work well when used appropriately. However this high dose vitamin idea can kill people. Vitamins such as A, D, E and K are lipid soluble and are proven to increase death at high dose, that is why K is only available by prescription!! In this program he mentions niacin (which has a high level of side effects such as flushing, keep in mind the no-flush versions have no cholesterol benefit at all. We do use this medication in certain cases via prescription strength but at levels this guy is talking about it would be very expensive over the counter. Also keep in mind these don't lower LDL-C (which is the important one to lower. They only lower TG's and increase HDL-C)). He claims that this is better than prescription medication alternatives which is a blatant lie. Statins are miracle drugs that save lives, have very low side effects and are inexpensive (this is proven in meta analysis, aka multiple randomized control trials and others). It is proven nothing lowers LDL-C more than rosuvastatin. Please take your medications regularly as prescribed, it could save your life. He also mentions Warfarin please take this as directed. People are at high risk when they don't take this exactly as prescribed, your doctor carefully adjusts your dose based on your INR Fluctuations caused by not taking this correctly or with too many/too little/inconsistant vitamins can make this very dangerous (internal/external bleeding and thromboembolic events, very bad and lead to death). All I'm saying is please eat healthy and exercise, this is the best way to be healthy and will give you ampul amounts of vitamins if done correct. If you chose to take supplements great, just please, please, please do not take more that the RDA (especially A, D, E and K). If you have any additional questions please talk to your Doctor or Pharmacist, they are there to help you and know what they are talking about! Thank you for your consideration, Joseph Ziegler Pharm.D. candidate 2014 University of Colorado Health Sciences Center Anschutz

We are glad you enjoyed the program. There is something about French Island life.
I visited Guadeloupe in the West Indies years ago and was blown away by that island. Being half volcanic and half coral, they have white sandy beaches and cool rain forest mountains. Great food and wine and fabulous vernacular architecture, you should put Guadeloupe on your bucket list too.

Bailout of the banks
Posted: February 18, 2012 by Name Withheld
Program: Moyers & Company (12 comments)
Hello. I think it would be instructive to interview someone who has accurate information about how much the U.S. gave the banks over the last few years, and how much of that has been paid back, with interest. I understand that the bailout money came in many different forms, which is why it is so difficult to try to track this, as a lay person. I, like many others, would love to know what the magnitude of the bank bailout really was, and how much the banks have/haven't returned. Could you also please let me know if and when this discussion will air. I try to catch all your programs, but I occasionally miss one. Thank you.
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.

Happy Positive People Mathematical Results, Dry Ground. The ground can hold up positive living.
Posted: February 18, 2012 by Janet Hartwick
Happy Positive People Mathematical Results, Dry Ground. The ground can hold up positive living. Life in positive choices leaning to make good choices doing what one is choosing to do in education and work that does not cause rebellion is life fulfilling. Business Ethics Know How Education. Human Development Customer Development Business Ethics Business Development Mathematical Results, Human Development Mathematical Results, "Recognized behavior is repeated behavior." from observations of behavior under precise behavior recognition conditions positive re-enforcement and extinction technique, redirecting away from wrong that wrong does not happen and get social and self recognition temporarily suppressing behavior, while providing multiple choices for human development which happens and receives recognition as stated by Dr. Fitzhugh Dodson is happy childhood worldwide. Stewards taking personal stewardship responsibility children are busy being good are free of placing responsibility upon children to be good with consequences and rewards, wrong can be rewarding and supports appearances of being good, while children learning natural consequences of being good are free to develop good character independently. Savings, prevented to loss to wrong human development, are used to meet needs providing employment in meeting needs for the labor force. People are the customers to their needs met while not unwilling customers to wrong human development. Negative people make pitty profits. Education profits replace lack of education profits. Grown ups doing much of their own human development no one need harm wrong human development just teach good human development. Multicultural Human Development Customer Development Business Ethics Business Development Human Resources meet needs for food, clothing, shelter, and cultural development. Quoting a homes and gardens magazine, "The best way to quit a bad habit is to substitute it with a good habit." Making a living on good habits is mathematically legal. When making a living on negative habits supported snowballing wrong human development expenses and took the time and attention of the labor force needing profits to manage wrong human development, making a living on good habits can cause a labor force that meets needs for a living. “Happiness is a habit - cultivate it.” said Elbert Hubbard. The laws of logic, if-then-therefore, the laws of reasoning, deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning, supporting a statement with two supporting evidences giving each of the supporting evidence two supporting evidences giving further supporting evidences two supporting evidences producing an outline of supporting evidences proving statements to be true, and educationally mathematical thinking, the first sentence in the text book being this is the science of, mathematically accurate educational thinking, is mathematically accurate mentally healthy thinking. Judgment is not ours. "Judgment is mine sayeth the Lord." Good human development is freedom. Freedom is mathematically accurate. Democracy Occurs. Be Free. Positive living mathematically accurate scientific results happy human resources human development customer development is hospitality. Honesty is mathematically accurate. Be Happy. Freedom Worker Janet Hartwick Multicultural Human Development Customer Development Business Ethics Business Development Mathematical Results, "Recognized behavior is repeated behavior." from observations of behavior under precise behavior recognition conditions positive re-enforcement and extinction technique, redirecting away from wrong that wrong does not happen and get social and self recognition temporarily suppressing behavior, while providing multiple choices for human development which happens and receives recognition as stated by Dr. Dodson, saves finances that can then be used for food, clothing, and shelter for happy childhood worldwide. Please make human development common knowledge to all. Truth = Truth. Happiness is mathematically accurate multiple choices in the positive. If people are making others unhappy, making others unhappy is mathematically incorrect. If anyone is unhappy then learns how to be happy everyone can become happy. Happiness is mathematically correct. Happy classrooms are mathematically correct. Scientific Laws in Human Development Scientific Results Human Resources Business Development and Customer Development Scientific Formula: Please investigate drumming up business for wrong human development profits and for repair profits. Professional adaptation education needed. Education profits replace lack of education profits. Results = People's effect upon the earth. Good human development is good to the earth. The earth can not support wrong human development. Life on the positive side of zero is good living. Making a living on unhappy people had no other plans. Making a living on unhappy childhood is making a living on lack of mathematically correct happy childhood. Scientific Laws in Human Development Democracy Occurs Business Development and Investor Relations Communications objected to by wrong human development profits communism bring freedom and kind living. Scientific Laws in Human Development Scientific Results: Developing Skills in Productive Fields of Interest. No help from competition wrong human development profits please. What is the honesty percent in currency? Exchanging education for currency supports what behaviors? Exchanging labor for currency supports what behaviors? We need a law requiring people that make a living on unhealthy mathematically negative incorrect living to have other sources of income. Business Ethics Education is needed. Do you give positive attention while one is being good? According to Doctor Fitzhugh Dodson some learned the only way to receive attention was through inappropriate behavior. As long as one was good one may have been ignored. Some who ignored others when they were good may have felt compelled to give instant focused attention for inappropriate behavior. Misbehavior was therefore attention. Misbehavior became a social life. The person thought the behavior was who they were. Others believed the behavior was who the person was also. The behavior received attention from some in the environment and allied forces producing further teasing for social recognition. While wasting productive time other needs failed to be met causing the need to feed off productive forces. Changing who one became depends upon the process. In the past some thought dictated undesirable actions would stop unwanted actions. Authoritarians did not know punishment, which is a behavior recognizer, fools by temporarily suppressing behavior while at the same time giving social and self recognition causing the behavior to repeat. Punishment is both given and received. Punished behavior repeats acquiring neither goodness or obedience. Recognizing the difference between the behavior and the individual do give the individual attention. Doctor Dodson suggests easily gently distracting offering attention in a new direction redirecting the individual to fun learning activities that let the individual know they are valuable and people care their time is spent valuably, that meet needs, and that lead to productive behavior while applying Extinction Technique by giving zero attention to behaviors one does not wish to be repeated. Recognized productive behavior becomes repeated productive behavior. Generative productive personalities develop. Childrens' productive behavior is the right to have their educational needs met and be actively engaged in the educational process. Scientific studies by recorded observation of behavior under precise behavior recognition conditions produced the results: Recognized behavior repeats, or to quote the results, "Recognized behavior is repeated behavior." as stated in How to Parent, the beginning of the book saying it is written to mothers, by Doctor Fitzhough Dodson which I read July 1974 and applied. Dr. Dodson also wrote How to Grandparent and How to Father. These scientific facts may not have been available to others and you before so forgive others and yourself for the unchangeable past punishment cannot change and focus upon life's qualities being specific and investigative. Grown ups do much of their own human development while children do their own human development sometimes. When a two year old asked me about another two year old's behavior, and I told her about human development the other two year old children where standing around the drinking fountain with us learning about human development also. All the two year old children that were standing around the drinking fountain became good human development. Filling children's live's with goodness all day every day results in children who are good children. Human Development, "Recognized behavior is repeated behavior." results from observations of behavior under precise behavior recognition conditions positive re-enforcement and Extinction Technique, redirecting away from wrong and directing to good that the wrong does not happen and receive recognition while the right being provided for happens and receives recognition is world happy childhood. A multiple choices in the positive star chart journal is a record of mathematically accurate goodness. Grown ups doing their own human development no one need harm wrong human development just teach good human development. Make a future. Quoting a homes and gardens magazine, "The best way to quit a bad habit is to substitute it with a good habit." Making a living on good habits is mathematically accurate legal. Human development is the way to goodness. Exterior control is not self-control. Providing fun safe multiple-choice learning experiences for self-expression in individuality in an environment which is safe to function within develops interest in learning while continual watching and providi

King James VI of Scotland eventually became King James I of England upon the death of Queen Elizabeth I. Elizabeth I was the last of the House of Tudor. One of the first things James I did was commission the King James Bible. A protestant Bible. Did you know James I was catholic?

Commendations and thanks for your airing this program are exceptionally insufficient to communicate to you the value of these programs and the true courage exhibited by your station and your correspondents. 2. As a nation, we have conveniently forgotten how often and how criminally our government lies to us. We prefer to "have faith" in our governmental systems and we prefer to present our "ignorance" on topics of importance rather than even consider our personal responsibility. ( see Nuremberg Trials ) 3. I am a disabled Vietnam Era Army veteran and I have not been able to join your station with a contribution. I can volunteer my time and effort in your plans to keep operating and hopefully in your plans to continue these programs of truth. I ran a Command Control Center for HQ-USASTRATCOM-EUR with a TS/Krypto/COSMIC,ATOMAL, SIOPESI etc...security clearance. I am reasonably computer and COMSEC litterate and if I can help at all please let me know. If we let the liars rule us, we surrender the freedoms for which so many of my Army friends have died and continue to die to preserve. Your fight on the air here in Denver is just as important and just as dangerous as the missions I was assigned to during my time in the Army and my time after honorable and decorated discharge working for "Special Contractors" to the DoD and NSA.

I get the channel 12 highlight's each week, but I am not sure what the Channel 12.1 vs Channel 12.2/12.3 means? Could you please explain. - I tried to find a place on your web page that explains. Thank you.
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.  Colorado Public Television has three channels.  Our Flag station is 12.1.  The Documentary station is 12.2 and MHz Worldview is our 12.3 station.  If you receive our station with a converter box or Digital Television you should be able to get all three of our channels.

Jeffrey Smith series
Posted: February 10, 2012 by Name Withheld
I watched your program with Jeffrey Smith this morning concerning GMO crops. After the show, I went to the internet to find some background information on Jeffrey Smith and the science behind his assertions. What I found is disturbing to me. The majority of his claims are not supported in peer reviewed scientific literature. I wonder if your station has done any background investigations of Jeffrey Smith before promoting his claims. If you didn't, shame on you. If you did, I consider your endorsement of his agenda even more despicable.
CPT12 Response:
Thank so much for watching CPT12 and having an inquiring mind.
 
Yes we have researched not only Jeffrey Smith but GMOs in general. Following you will find links to national press and scientific reviewed studies.
 
You may also want to check out The World According to Monsanto airing on 12.2 over the air and Comcast channel 251 Feb. 24 at 11:30 PM. http://www.cpt12.org/tv_schedule/program_details.cfm?series_id=53252464

What happened to Maria Wern on Tuesday nights? I really liked that show. I believe I've already seen all the Maigret programs.
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your inquiry.

According to the International Mystery Facebook page, Megahertz Worldview (12.3) aired all 7 episodes of the Maria Wren series so it was time to rotate in another International Mysteries series, Maigret.

Let’s hope they make more Maria Wren. I really enjoyed that series too.

I saw advertised earlier this week a program I believe was titled "Mysteries of the Manor", about the history and culture of masters and servants in an Edwardian manor house.

Coliandro started to show up on Friday nights and soon after I see a new series "A Case of Conscience" now listed for the next 4 Fridays. What happened to Coliandro? Did people not take to this series as well as they did to Montalbano?
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.
Colorado Public Television’s 12.3 is a pass-through of the MHz Worldview channel. We do not have control of what they air or when. CPT12 takes their programming “as is” off the satellite. You can contact the Megahertz Worldview network directly by clicking on the link below.
http://mhz.convio.net/site/Survey?SURVEY_ID=1141&ACTION_REQUIRED=URI_ACTION_USER_REQUESTS
With that said, it is my understanding that Megahertz will be rotating blocks of the individual International Mysteries series throughout the year.  I don’t think it is a matter of popularity but of episode availability.
I really enjoyed Coliandro too.

Program: Colorado Inside Out (9 comments)
Tonight's show was brilliant. Being only 1 year old in 1951, I wasn't sure that was really Ethel Merman and I was thinking that David Kopel is so much like his father. Only a couple of modern references, "six degrees of separation from Stalin," made me realize that this wasn't a re-broadcast. Nonetheless an incredible production worthy of an Emmy. Congratulations.

financial crisis
Posted: January 25, 2012 by janet carter
listening to moyers and company tonight (jan.25, 2012) with david stockman and gretchen (last name?) reminded me of what abraham lincoln had to say in 1865: "I see in the furure a crisis approaching that unnerves me..and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country..corporations have been enthroned ..an era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power of the country will endeavor to ptolong its reign bu working on the prejudices of the people...until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands.. and the republic is destroyed." well said, old abe. I am so grateful for the clear heads in 2012 but who will hear them? many of us can hear thanks to you channel 12 for bringing back moyers. little wonder CPT12 is my favorite (and sometimes only channel) oh yes: charlie rise and amy goodman and the like as well

International Mysteries
Posted: January 24, 2012 by Marcoa Verba
Program: International Mystery (14 comments)
I love most of the International Mysteries. Especially Montalbano and Brunetti (I am particularly amused by watching a show set in Italy spoken in German and subtitled in English. Crazy.) I get broadcast TV with a converter to my old analog TV, so I'm getting 12.3. but, when I am at my kids' house I can't find a 12.3. They have DirectTV. Do you have any idea if Direct TV carries mhz Worldview and, if it does, do you know what channel it would be? Thanks
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email. I really like the Italian ones too.

The answer to your question is a bit complicated. The variables include where your kids are located and what tier of service they get from Direct TV.

There are 2 different tier levels for Direct TV that effect what you  will recieve..

Assuming we are talking about the Denver Metro area, if your kids have the SD tier from Direct TV, they only recieve our channel 12.1 on Direct TV. They do not have access to 12.2 and 12.3.

If your kids have the HD tier from Direct TV, they recieve Colorado Public Television’s  channel 12.1 and 12.3 but Direct TV calls our 12.3 “12.2”, so your International Mysteries would be on Direct TV’s 12.2.

CPT12’s Channel 12.3 is a pass through channel. We get programming directly via satelite from Mhz Worldview and pass it on to our viewers in whole.  We do not do the daily programming for that channel. The reason I mention this is that you may be able to find the Mhz Worldview channel on Direct TV listed as MHz and not KBDI.

You may want to go to the Direct TV website and plug in your kid’s zip code. You should be able to see the channels available in your area.
Hope this helps.

CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.
I checked our schedule and we do not have Secrets of the Manor House  scheduled to air on any of Colorado Public Television’s three channels at this time.
The other Denver PBS station (Rocky Mountain PBS, Channel 6) did air it last Sunday.
It is also available to stream from the RMPBS website at: http://video.rmpbs.org/video/2188820445
There are a couple of variables involved in answering your Comcast question. They include your geographical location and what tier of service you have.
Please go to the Comcast Website at:
https://www.comcast.com/localization/localize.cspx?Referer=%2fshop%2fbuyflow2%2fproducts.cspx%3fSourcePage%3dCable
There you can put in your information and find the list of channels available on your tier and search for specific television programs.
For  kicks, I plugged in the Station’s Zipcode (80205) and did not find a listing forSecrets of the Manor House . Your Zip code may yield a different finding.

Why is CPT supporting Gary Null's quackery?
Posted: January 22, 2012 by Name Withheld
Program: Gary Null: Overcoming Depression and Anxiety Naturally (3 comments)
I've just been watching Gary Null going on at enormous length with his wacky and scientifically unsupported nostrums about mental health. This man's quackery is akin to some unqualified sawbones in the Wild West. It is astonishing and dismaying that an allegedly intellectually respectable channel like CPT would allow anyone like Null near the airwaves where he can influence vulnerable people. I just saw Null describing some woman who had Alzheimer's Disease and he was giggling when he described how she was stooped and with drool falling from her mouth. He was giggling! His co-host had to dig him in the ribs with her elbow to jolt him back to propriety. What is this jerk doing giving emotional advice on the airwaves? Why is CPT promoting him and his dreadful pseudoscientific books? Then at the end, we see the program is "Copyright Gary Null and Associates" — this was supposed to be a CPT fundraiser, but it looks more like a two-hour Gary Null commercial. This is outrageous and irresponsible programming.
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email. We value all comments from viewers regardless if they are positive or not.
 
As you know, Colorado Public Television always runs a medical disclaimer around Gary Null and all health related programming encouraging people to check with their health care provider before starting any health or exercise regime; and that the information in this program is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
 
Colorado Public Television has been airing Gary Null’s programs since the debut of his hit PBS special "How to Live Forever" in 1998 and his programs are some of the most successful and requested pledge programs since the debut of this first show for PBS.

Please consider tuning into our other fine channels 12.2 or 12.3 when 12.1 is airing Gary Null.
 
 
Sincerely,

I really enjoy all of the Scandavian mysteries now playing(and Brunetti), including this very unusual "historic" version. IN addition to the stories, the sense of place and a different but not alien culture is extraordinary. I just wish you would replay them because one cannot always watch TV at 7 each night. Congratulations to you for your unique and interesting programming.

Denver East Theatre Company Presents “Working”
Posted: January 18, 2012 by Cindy Wolf
The Denver East High School Theatre Company is proud to present WORKING, a topical musical based on Studs Terkel's book of the same name. The source of the show is real life interviews with people talking about their jobs and how they feel about them. The language is gritty, passionate and real, as is the music. The score was written by James Taylor, Stephen Schwartz and others. It’s a celebration of people’s passion for their work and pride in their ability to put food on the table. Showtimes are March 1st through 3rd at 7:00 p.m. and March 4th at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are available from Seat Yourself on the East Website, eastangels.org.
Local Author Curses
Posted: January 18, 2012 by Julie Kazimer
My name is Julie Kazimer. I’m a local author with a debut novel in a series soon-to-be released from Kensington Books titled, CURSES! A F***ed Up Fairy Tale. I’d love to talk more with you about the book and/or the release, and provide you with an ARC. Days before her wedding, Cinderella is run over by the Fairy-Second Street Crosstown bus. Was it an accident or a sinister plot to rid the world of annoyingly nice princesses? CURSES! A F**ked Up Fairy Tale releasing on March 1, 2012 will answer that question and many more, like, does the Big Bad Wolf really suffer from acute pig-induced asthma? Definitely not for baby’s bedtime reading, this hilarious and irreverent take on classic fairytales—think Shrek for grownups—combines humor, mystery, and characters only a fairy godmother could love… When Cinderella is run over by a New Never City bus, her not-so-ugly stepsister, Asia, suspects murder. So she hires RJ, a private eye, to investigate. Little does she know RJ is actually a villain on mental health leave from the Villain’s Union. Cursed with an inability to say no to damsels in distress, RJ travels to the Kingdom of Maldetto, meets the rest of Cinderella’s family—including her fiancé, the flamboyant Prince Charming, Cinderella’s crazy stepmother, and a seriously twisted version of Hansel and Gretel—and dodges bullets, explosions, fires, and his ex-wife to slip his own version of glass handcuffs on the wrists that fit. All while falling for Asia, who has a curse of her own to deal with… Thank you for your time. Best, Julie Kazimer jkazimer@msn.com 303-916-2788 Author of CURSES! www.jakazimer.com

What is the difference between CPT and RMPBS?
Posted: January 15, 2012 by Neal Schuerer
I am seeting up my TV for over the air programing and dropping my Direct TV; Why are there 2 public TV stations? What is the difference between Colorado Public Television and Rocky Mountain PBS?
CPT12 Response:
Thanks for writing to Colorado Public Television with your questions on why two public television stations in Colorado. I’ll try to answer them and provide some history from our perspective.
 
Colorado Public Television (CPT12) is a PBS member station but we air only 25 percent of the PBS programming service each year. KRMA/Rocky Mountain PBS carries the full PBS schedule. At CPT12, we don’t believe that programming duplication serves our audience well so we focus on program differentiation.
 
We were founded more than 30 years ago with the vision of providing an alternative to commercial broadcasting and with an eye on diversity. The CPT12 brand is known for our investments in local programming with a heavy focus on public affairs and elections/issues coverage. Our regular weekly schedule features 5 different local programs that explore public affairs from each side of the political spectrum and during election years, that coverage expands with our “Colorado Decides” series in partnership with CBS4.
 
You’ll also find a strong commitment to locally produced documentaries, arts and other programming that highlights the unique perspective of Colorado and indeed, the Rocky Mountain West.
 
Finally, with the digital transition in 2009, we’ve been able to expand our programming into three programming streams including our flagship channel 12.1; an expanded version of that flagship channel on 12.2; and on 12.3, 24 x 7 international news, culture, lifestyle and arts programming on MHz Worldview.
 
I invite you to sample the programming across our channel lineup and hope you’ll provide us with continued feedback.
 
Thank you again for writing.
 
Best regards,
Pam Osborne

HI, Would Sounds on 29th be interested in having Jaden Carlson some time? Jaden is a Colorado native and a greatly talented and inspiring musician that has played extensively the past years, on her own, and with musicians such as Trevor Hall, Michael Franti, Great American Taxi, Melvin Seals and the JGB, Tori Pater and friends (and many, many others), and has 2 members of The Motet as her band, when playing large shows. Jaden has played many festivals throughout the U.S....Harmony Festival, Power To The Peaceful, Desert Rocks, Telluride Blues and Brews, and Nedfest, to name a few. The trio recently opened for Trace Bundy's 3rd Annual Holiday Show at the Boulder Theater, finishing their set to a standing ovation. Thanks very much, and we hope to hear from you. KC 303-949-5925 JadenCarslonVideoChannel found at www.youtube.com/kcarlsonco Review of 12/10/11 Show at the Boulder Theater-The Grateful Web-Kelly Trasker "The Jaden Carlson Trio opened up the show. The trio is comprised of Scott Messersmith and Garrett Sayers from the Motet and 10-year old Jaden Carlson on vocals and acoustic guitar. Ten years old! A collective jaw-drop came over the crowd as soon as soon as Jaden started playing. It’s difficult for anyone to upstage seasoned and accomplished musicians from the Motet, but it was clear that almost all eyes and ears were fixed upon Jaden. During her 10 song set, she played several songs she had written herself, displaying a lyrical and musical maturity one would expect from someone three-times her senior. With an incredible stage presence, depth, and a natural ear for music, this girl has a very bright future ahead of her. The Trio finished their set to a standing ovation from the crowd and left us all asking ourselves, “What were we all doing when we were 10?” I've booked Jaden Carlson for special events three times now and each time it continues to get better. She's already one of the hardest working musicians in the business and it's been a blast watching her grow as a performer and as a person. Her ability to control a crowd at such a young age is remarkable and she captivates every audience with her professionalism, dedication and focus. The young fans love her because she's one of them and the older fans love her because she can do things with the guitar that they could never dream of. With her family as her support system they will drive anywhere and play any show with a smile on their faces. That type of commitment isn't as easy to find these days. Not only is she is a star in the making, but she is a star RIGHT NOW. She loves performing, she loves singing and she loves making her adorning fans smile. I can't imagine ever producing an event without calling Jaden to play a set. The other day someone told me that I might go the rest of my life never booking an act as talented and engaging as Jaden Carlson. It's been a priviledge getting to know Jaden, I can't wait to see what the future holds for her and I hope and pray that I will be a part of it.

Why have you stopped airing the show ASIAN VARIETY SHOW. It brought us a little bit of home in this country.
CPT12 Response:
Thanks for your inquiry regarding Asian Variety Show.  We brought (yes, past tense, sorry) this program to you directly from MHz Worldview so we I’m afraid we don’t have control over the schedule.  I did check their website and found that it doesn’t look like they are airing this at this time.  We do have two other programs that may be of interest to you – Asia 7 Days (http://www.cpt12.org/tv_schedule/program_details.cfm?series_id=48349456)  and Asia Biz Forecast (http://www.cpt12.org/tv_schedule/program_details.cfm?series_id=48350472).

I sent another msg. over to your tech. side there @ CPT. Anyways, stating I get miffed when on the cable guide they show other titles other than what is on/showing. I am a big Frontline follower & they had "Natural Heroes" and something else before that instead of what was really on. It can't be that hard for them to get it right, they need a wake-up call big time cause this is not the FIRST TIME it has happened. I wanted to let you know so you can call them out on their obvious prob. & if they hear it from you and their customers maybe something will finally be done about it. I mean when you watch t.v. don't you want to know what you are watching when you land on that channel? If you ask me it is a big disservice too, not only that affects me but you also @ KBDI(CPT)! I love PBS but obviously cable conglomerates do not!! Thx -Theresa

mysteries 6 nights a week.
Posted: January 11, 2012 by Name Withheld
Program: Van Veeteren (2 comments)
Just letting you know that the Van Veeteren series and The Octopus Series are the best in my opinion. the Scandanaavian series with the lovely blood woman is not to my likely. All though this detective is lovely and entirely humane, there are too many gruesome and gory scenes. As a clinical psychologist, I should warn you that such graphic footage can induce secondary post traumatic stress in the viewer. The images tend to repeat themselves in a persons mind involuntarily after the movie is complete. An aware person who does meditation, or is otherwise self observant, will notice this, while a less aware person may become more irritable, sleep more poorly, etc. without knowing why. As interesting and as well done as the show is, I have decided NOT TO WATCH IT. It does have really have the same degree of relevance to current day social issues or the moral content that the other mystery series I mentioned do have. And neither of those is as graphically violent with bizarre killings. This more brutal program does highlight the relationship between crime and mental illness, but also instills unnecessary stress. I will also not be watching the Weds. night series. With the Octopus series as long as it is, I'm sure there are many viewers like myself who would love to see the episodes that they have missed. I woulld like to see this continue from the beginning which you have started this year. I appreciated this as I'd never seen the older episodes and would like this to continue. Thanks, I know you don't reply so no need to rub it, but I do hope you read this. Liz Butters monthly contributor
We still cant get your channel.
Posted: January 11, 2012 by JM fay
This is going back to when the signal switched to digital. While we get your emails; we are left with 6 to get PBS and yes we have checked with your tech people but still have to wonder why this is still going on. Thanks.
CPT12 Response:
Thanks for your quick response.
I  plugged in your crossroads into an App our Tech department designed and it  shows that you should be recieving a good signal in your area.
In a signal area this good, 9 out of 10 times it comes down to the antenna.
I am forwarding this info to our Tech department to see if they have any other ideas.
Hope we can figure this out.

Comcast Migration
Posted: January 10, 2012 by Joan Graff
I am very upset that Comcast has removed Channel 12 as part of their basic customer package effective on my TV - January 10,2012. Was the station aware that Comcast was dropping you from basic cable in their new digital package? As a loyal viewer, what can I do to influence Comcast to reinstate you in their basic package? What are you planning to do? Channel 12 is going to loose major contributions from Boulder. How did Comcast make this decison to replace you on Ch. 12? Were you advised in advance? Please advise what can your viewers do and post your "removal" on your home page.
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.
 
It is important that you know that Comcast will be migrating away from the Basic analog tier in the future. They are only required by law to carry the analog signals until  mid  2012 . They also are only required by law to carry one PBS station in a market. As you know, the other PBS station is Channel 6.
 
With this in mind, Colorado Public Television agreed to transition in advance of the deadline because as part of the deal it allowed us to expand our channel options to new and existing digital Comcast/Xfinity customers and to reach other communities in the state that have not been able to receive our channel in the past. This all happened about a year ago, so I doubt if Comcast would reconsider. As a Comcast customer, you are free to call them and register your complaint.
 
Comcast/Xfinity does carry all three of our digital channels on their digital tiers. I know that for financial reasons, upgrading is not an option for everyone.
 
Colorado Public Television does plan to offer our three digital channels (12.1, 12.2, and 12.3) free over-the-air with an antenna, digital TV or Analog TV with converter box in the Boulder area this March. We have completed the permit process and are beginning work on the Davidson Mesa installation. Once we are up and running in Boulder, you will not need to pay for cable to view our programming. You will be able to get it free over the air.
 
Hope to get you back.
 
All the Best,
Joan

music attribution on Coming Up Slides
Posted: January 9, 2012 by George Blosser
As a regular viewer, I have noticed something about the music you are sometimes using for the Coming Up slides announcing the next show. Several times a week I hear you use two songs from the Heartless Bastards album "All This Time". These songs are "Into the Open" and "All this Time"... both written and performed by Erika Wennerstrom of the Heartless Bastards. Sometimes the music is accredited wrongly to Rogers... but usually there are no credits listed at all. I've heard the music used on 12.1 and 12.2. How do I know this? I'm a big Heartless Bastards fan. I love hearing Erika's music used for this purpose. But I'd like to see that she is properly credited. I presume that someone at the station is a Heartless Bastards fan and made the original selection. I'm also presuming you have rights to use it or it is under some fair use right. If not, contact her and she might be quite happy to grant the rights. So do Erika and the Heartless Bastards a favor and properly credit them for the music. Thanks
CPT12 Response:
  Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. My name is Heather Dalton, Creative Services Manager and I am indeed a huge fan of Erika Wennerstrom and the Heartless Bastards. The haunting melodies, timeless vocals and sonic progressions seems to be a natural fit for our viewers
 
It is our intent to always give credit where credit is due and there was a very unfortunate oversight that will be corrected. We do have rights to air the music under ASCAP/BMI. I do apologize for this discrepancy and thank you once again for bringing it to my attention, it will be corrected.
 
As a music fan I hope that you can check out our new music show Sounds on 29th, showcasing some of Colorado’s brightest talents

Missed portion of Downton Abbey...
Posted: January 9, 2012 by Colleen Boyle
When can I see the portion of Downton Abbey I missed last night when the station froze up ? The station froze up around 9:10 last night. Thanks Colleen
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.
Colorado Public Television did not broadcast Downton Abbey Sunday night. You were watching the other PBS station in Denver, Rocky Mountain PBS, KMRA Channel 6. They did have the problem you describe when their server malfunctioned.
Channel 6 posted the following notice on their website: “We experienced technical problems with Sunday's Downton Abbey premiere. We will rebroadcast the program on Thursday, January 12 at 7pm and again on Sunday, January 15 at 7pm. “
Although we are both PBS stations, we are separate entities and Colorado Public Television has no control over operations at Rocky Mountain PBS.
You can contact RMPBS directly in the future by clicking the following link:

or by phoning them at  303-892-6666.
 
Hope this helps.

Hi, I'm from Philadelphia, PA. Su nday nights used to be my favorite night of the week. Of course, it was because I could look forward to the mysteries of Montalbano, Maigret, Van Veteren, etc. I can't even remeber the station that carried the series in our area, but, I do know that they're not on anymore. I can't begin to express how much I miss them! If possible, could you let me know if there is a station in my area that carries the various series? I will "annoy" my cable carrier constantly to try to have access to that station! Marilyn Mears 247 W. Duval St. Philadelphia, PA 19144

Long duration frozen or blackout picture broadcast problems
Posted: January 8, 2012 by Name Withheld
My wife and I live in Fort Collins and we frequently enjoy watching PBS TV. However, twice in the past several weeks we gave up watching PBS Sunday evening programming, each around 10:00 pm, because of obvious broadcast problems. Although there were differences, both involved a fairly rapidly repeating image in the middle of a program with no progression. I tried calling a PBS phone number found on Google (720-234-9933), but no one answered. Don't you have some responsible person on duty to monitor and correct such problems when they occur?
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.
Colorado Public Television did not have any technical issues in our broadcast last night, but from the timing and your description of the problem, I am guessing you were watching Downton Abbey on the other PBS station in Denver, Rocky Mountain PBS, KMRA Channel 6. They did have the problem you describe. They posted the following notice on their website:
“We experienced technical problems with Sunday's Downton Abbey premiere. We will rebroadcast the program on Thursday, January 12 at 7pm and again on Sunday, January 15 at 7pm. “
 
Although we are both PBS stations, we are separate entities and CPT12 has no control over operations at RMPBS.
You can contact RMPBS with your concerns by clicking the following link:
http://www.rmpbs.org/contact/
or phoning them at  303-892-6666.
If you weren’t watching Downton Abbey last night, please let me know. As I stated, we did not have any technical problems with our broadcast, but we may be able to help diagnose any issues you may be receiving our signal.

Are you going to run it any longer. I think it has been about 4 weeks since you ran in lieu of perhaps Suzie Orms or that brain food guy or the gaunt diet guy that hangs with the good looking chick in your studio. Why don't they just put it on Create? I guess I can watch it online.

what those idiots were saying about deportation was very offensive. First of all these ILLEGALS are criminals--they are here illegally--and ICE has every right to deport them. Tough luck to them,--if they are smart enough to get here then they are smart enough to change there own crappy countries. Oh- and the CHILDREN--then they should join there law breaking parents if they want to be together. This program was sickening.

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you were offended by the opinions expressed on Friday’s edition of  Democracy Now!

We bring Aussie Rules Football to you directly from MHz Worldview so we I’m afraid we don’t have control over the schedule.  I did check their website and found that it doesn’t look like they are airing this at this time.  After investigation it looks like the 2012 season is not yet in full swing so that may be why it isn’t airing yet.

EastEnders

Hello, I am moving to your location from Raleigh, NC. I have been watching EastEnders for quite some time. When I was looking to see if your station carried the program I found something on the internet from 2009 and seemed to say you carried the program. http://www.wnceastenders.com/?p=1528 However when I went looking on your page it did not seem that you did. Am I correct in this that you no longer are showing the program EastEnders? If so do you plan on returning it to your programing at all in the future? I admit to think I can no longer watch just breaks my heart. Please let me know. Thank you.
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your e-mail.
Colorado Public Television’s 25 year run of EastEnders ended December 26th, 2010 with an all day marathon.  Rising costs from the BBC, an inability to find a consistent slot to air it, and the lingering recession all contributed to its cancellation. 
A group of Colorado EastEnders fan has organized on a message board. You may enjoy checking in on the site. It is located at:

I can't thank you enough, Tamara, for brightening an otherwise rather dismal winter's evening with your always gorgeous smile and your outstanding program on Colorado's space programs! The panel, especially Bruce McAndless, were outstanding, and your childish delight at their achievements mirrored my own. We whose lives resemble those of the "barnyard ducks" Antoine St. Exupery mocked with the metaphor of "wild geese" (representing aviators) soaring high above the muck of daily life, in "Wind, Sand and Stars", do well to remind ourselves that mankind's greatest work lies not only in caring for the weak and the downtrodden, but also in striving to fly ever "higher, faster, and farther", because we cease having any worth as a civilization once we cease.

Poor Programming Decisions
Posted: December 16, 2011 by David Butler
Program: Mclaughlin Group (1 comment)
Your friends @ 6 ruined their Friday night line up by moving "the Group" to Sunday afternoon. But you saved the evening by programming it along with "Inside Washington." But now 12 has dropped the ball. Sad. Back to the "Net's."
CPT12 Response:
Thanks for writing in.  I also regret the move of “the Group” as you call it.  We are constantly having to reconfigure aspects of our programming lineup to make way for new series starting  (like Moyers and Co. commencing January 13th) or series ending ( like Roger Ebert’s At The Movies, ceasing production due to funding issues with January 6th’s program)..Constantly a challenge. While it might not please you, we try cut find the best compromise given viewership, broadcast rights windows, and other technicalities.  While we are still working on the details, we are looking into additional airings of “ The Group” on 12.2 …check back with us, or check out our website in a week or two..  Also, you might try to watch over the lunch hour on Thursdays at noon on 12.1!

Program: Gary Null: Overcoming Depression and Anxiety Naturally (3 comments)
Gary Null, as usual, is amazing! What I found most helpful is that he and the experts present facts and the results of scientific studies - and not baseless opinions. As a holistically-oriented psychotherapist who treats people with depression, I learned information and approaches that I can pass on to my clients so they can heal themselves of their depression and anxiety much more quickly. I learned at least as much about depression and how to treat it from Gary Null, et al in this broadcast as I did in the four years of graduate school for my doctorate in clinical psychology! I didn't agree with everything that was said based upon my 30+ years of practice as a therapist, but even the information I didn't agree with was valuable because it was food for thought for me (healthy food!). Gary, Thank You So Much! Neil E. Rand, Ph.D. Colorado Springs

I just had the strangest conversation with one of our fund raisers. She wanted a donation, of course, and I told her that my husband is the one that handles that and that he has been donating for years and just some him the form and he'll send a check. She said she has to talk to him before she can send him anything. I told her we are leaving the country on friday and she just send information. She said, and I quote, "I can't do that so I'll put you down as a no." That's ridiculous. My husband, Bob Hofmann, has been conributing for about 20 years. If you don't want his money this year, fine, we'll donate somewhere else.

Deteriorating quality of Colorado Inside Out
Posted: December 5, 2011 by Diane Lucas
Program: Colorado Inside Out (9 comments)
I agree with some of the above viewers, that Colorado Inside Out is going downhill. It's leaning much more to the right, and too many of the comments sound like the worthless drabble of people out of touch with so many of us. Lately, I've just been turning off the TV in the middle of the show. I might suggest getting a different host, one with less bias, for starters. As for Occupy Denver, I think it should continue until people such as your commentators get the point, which many of them seem not to have done yet!
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.  I have forwarded your comments to the Producer of Colorado Inside Out, Dominic Dezzutti.
If you know of a progressive voice you would like to see on the show, please let us know. We are interested in representing a broad spectrum of opinions.
Thank you for your feedback.

I just turned on 12.2 and thought Out of Ireland was going to be aired. What has happened to the show? I look so forward to watching this program every Sunday at 9:30am. Please tell me you will still be airing this SHOW !!! When I search the program by your alpha listings, it is listed on Sunday mornings. Titan TV lists the show this morning also. Thank you Pam
CPT12 Response:
My last e-mail stated Comcast 221 but should have been 251.  I don’t know what else to say to you except that we aired the program as scheduled.  We have other viewers that love this show and I spoke with one personally and she was glad that it was aired again.  I’m sorry but I don’t know what more to say.  Do you know others that watch it that could confirm its airing?

Program: Suze Orman's Money Class (1 comment)
The programming on CPT 12 on today's date - excepting the Foreigner concert - more adequately resembles back-to-back infomercials. If the programming department actually PAYS for the right to run Suze Ormand and the rest of today's programming, management needs to seriously re-evaluate the talent within the programming department. I cannot bear to watch what's on today therefore I surely cannot donate to support it. Leave the health lectures, the money lectures and the infomercials to commercial television and concentrate on quality program such as Ken Burns, prime concert series, and programs of an international interest please. Thanks.
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email and feedback.
The programming you saw on December 3rd was part of our December Pledge drive. These programs are chosen by our Membership Department and are used to raise funds for Colorado Public Television. The funds we raise during our pledge drives help pay for the quality programs that our Programming Department schedules throughout the year.
I am glad you enjoyed Foreigner: Live in Chicago.  Please consider flipping to Channels 12.2 or 12.3 next time you encounter Pledge programming that you are not interested in.

Unchallenged comments by Kopel
Posted: December 3, 2011 by Harv Teitelbaum
Program: Colorado Inside Out (9 comments)
On Dec. 2, I decided to watch a full episode of Colorado Inside Out. I was dismayed by the lack of diversity on the panel and the perspectives offered. The panel included two men, an ultra conservative and a conservative, along with two politically middle of the road women. This first became apparent with the narrow spectrum of opinions expressed on the Occupy movement and its Denver participants. But the lack of a progressive perspective became most apparent during the "weekly outrage" segment, which Dave Kopel used to rant about Barnie Frank's retirement. Actually, he merely used the event of Frank's retirement during the week to air some delusional rant about Frank's responsibility for the housing/financial collapse. While I'm guessing you have some rule about personal responses among the panelists, the fact that no one challenged Kopel's own ad hominen screed or at least checked his Kool-Aid, was a major journalistic lapse and common complaint against mainstream political coverage. I appreciate the intent of the show to cover local/regional issues, and watch cpt12 regularly. Thank you for your time.
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your feedback.
I have forwarded your comments to Mr. Kopel and the producer of Colorado Inside Out, Dominic Dezzutti.
Colorado Public Television would be interested in your input as to who you would like to see represent the progressive perspective on CIO.
This issue has been a concern with other viewers and we are always trying to improve the diversity of political perspective on the program.

CIO time machine
Posted: December 1, 2011 by Name Withheld
Program: Colorado Inside Out (9 comments)
(I wrote to you last year also, got reply from Larry Patchett) This year's two-hours of the CIO time machine, four episodes, was an absolute orgy - I haven't laughed so hard in a long time! The participants are all just genius, as is the wonderful scripting (-if it indeed is scripted vs. spontaneous - some of both?) - they all displayed extensive knowledge of Colorado and Denver history, especially the subtler aspects of same. The satire was so clever, really pure genius, with all the double-entendres - I just loved every minute of each episode. Please thank all of them: Patty, Raj, Peter, Kevin, Dannie, Ed and all others who I'm not naming - absolutely brilliant, all of them! The time machine certainly deserves all the awards it has been given, and more. I savor the prospect of many more episodes in the future! When will it be done again???? Rebecca Watt - Centennial
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email. Those shows are a hoot! Patty Calhoun was born to play Ethel Merman.

Thanks for writing.  I checked our listing of offerings through PBS and don’t see Israel Inside.  I think it may be something acquired by this particular station outside of the PBS system.
 
However, things constantly change so be sure to check our website program listings for the latest programming information.  In case you haven’t yet explored our website (www.cpt12.org)in detail, you may want to take a look.  From there you can see a listing of all of our great programming – just click on the ‘Schedules’ tab and you can find the information multiple ways.  If you know the program name the fastest way to find information about it is to click on the ‘Programs A-Z’ tab.  You can also set up e-mail alerts, watch certain programs online, check out our concert and local community events, plus get lots of other great information.  Check it out!

Provocative! Good film even though I completely disagree with the pity party pitch. These liberal democrat distant ideologue terrorists punks got what they dissevered! Jail time. Yes the Federal Government over stepped it's boundary and is guilty of entrapping these guys and needs reigned in! I will give you that. Yet, these liberal activists opposed Civil law and order with irrational exuberance. After all, it is Conservative republicans who want to reduce the size, scope, power and influence of the Federal Government upon its citizens! And it is republicans that they targeted? Go figure? Well meaning miss directed radical activists flew planes into the twin towers. Stupid is, as stupid does. Next time guys, protest against big government liberals peacefully and intelligently, like good law abiding Conservatives!

Free Market Babble
Posted: November 19, 2011 by William Pearson
Program: Colorado Inside Out (9 comments)
On last nights show, the subject turned to the Solar Industry and how China is making a play to dominate the world market. Right on cue, one of the pompous conservatives (not important which one, they all say the same vacuous talking points) stated that we 'don't want our government picking winners and losers" and that free market "investment capital" should be used to develop our Solar Industry. This conservative, as he straddled his 'high horse', was making a massive oversight (which conservatives consistently rely on for their existence). The oversight was that China is a central government and they do pick winners and losers and they are absolutely dominating the United States in the Solar Industry! Throughout the history of our great country, we, the people, through our tax dollars, have subsidized and invested in the large emerging infrastructure industries in order to get them started; but according to conservatives (ie. representatives of the fossil fuel industry), we should not do this for the Solar Industry.

Try as may, I cannot find a listing on your website for the Allen documentary, scheduled nationally for Sunday, Nov 20 and Monday Nov 21, presumably at 7:00 pm MST. Why is it scheduled in Denver for Dec 25th?
CPT12 Response:
Thank you for your email.
Because there are two PBS stations in the Denver Metro area, there is sometimes a pecking order as to who gets to run national PBS programming first. There is also sometimes a mandatory buffer time from the first airing to the second. Rocky Mountain PBS (Channel 6) is airing Woody Allen: American Masters  yesterday and tonight at 9pm. Colorado Public Television get to air it December 25th at 7pm on 12.1.
Hope this helps.

I noticed on your website that you are showing America's Wildest Refuge this evening. I can't find it on the comcast menu. My nephew co-produced this film and I REALLY want to watch it with his grandmother. Please help me find it! Kathy
CPT12 Response:
Dear Kathy,
 
Looks like you posted this only a few moments ago.  I saw it just before closing up the office and heading home.  I don’t think any of the good people who normally would answer this are still here; so let me take a shot at it for you.
 
America’s Wildest Refuge is scheduled on our Channel 12.2 stream this evening at 8:00 p.m. On Comcast digital that’s channel 251 (CPT+).  I just checked and the show is listed on the Comcast Guide for Ch. 251.
 
How delightful to learn that your nephew is the co-producer and that you want to screen it with his grandmother.  I hope you can find it.
 
All the best,
