Educational, enlightening, inspiring -- the fall 2017 PBS line-up is
shaping up to offer a slew of programming that is sure to please anyone looking
to expand their interests. Best of all, you can enjoy it for free with the best HD antenna! While
high-definition television antennas offer access to dozens of over-the-air
broadcast channels, the history and cultural buffs among us are sure to
appreciate PBS programming that will hit the scene in just a few weeks or
months. Below are some of our picks for the upcoming season.
- The
Vietnam War: This 10-part series from Ken Burns, who produced the definitive
documentary on the U.S. Civil War, premiers on Sept. 17 and runs through Sept.
28. With help from director Lynn Novick, the series will train its sights on
one of the most conflicted times this country has experienced in recent
history.
- Finding
Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr.: The family trees of celebrities
will be explored, including comedian Aziz Ansari, actress Scarlett Johansson,
comedic writer Larry David, legendary actors Ted Danson and Christopher Walken,
newsman Bryant Gumbel, comedian Amy Schumer and many more.
- Frontline: In this
timely exploration, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s rise to power, his
motivations and rule of the country will be in the spotlight. The two-part
documentary shows on Oct. 25 and Nov. 1.
- NOVA: In a
fascinating look at our solar system, NOVA will premier “Death Dive to
Saturday” on Sept. 13. The show will explore the Cassini space probe and its
trek – plus inevitable demise – as it heads toward Saturn.
“Fall brings a bumper crop of exciting new drama, science, arts and
documentary programs,” Beth Hoppe, chief programming executive and general
manager with audience programming at PBS, said in a press release, adding, “this
upcoming fall season offers viewers an array of terrific programming in all the
genres that PBS does best.”
Before this content hits television sets across the country, we
encourage consumers to find the best HD antenna currently available. That’s
because you don’t need a cable subscription to watch PBS, but you do need a
quality high-definition television antenna to improve signal strength and
picture quality. With programs such as the ones outlined above along with
dozens of other news, sports, movie and children’s programming channels, now’s
the time to cut the cord with your current cable provider. In exchange, you’ll
retain access to quality entertainment and save at least $100 per month.
