We got word earlier that KQED is rescheduling D TOUR to air on the main channel on January 7, 2010 at 10pm!

So, THANK YOU ALL for contacting KQED with your emails and phone calls!!  With your help we got the network to realize that this film has a strong audience and that the Bay Area communities come as a priority.  I can’t thank you all enough.

No, KQED cannot schedule the show in time for next week’s initial broadcast premiere, and given the circumstances with programming this late that would’ve been impossible.  D TOUR and INDEPENDENT LENS will still air next week on KTEH channel 54 on November 11 at 10pm, and KQED LIFE (CHECK LOCAL LISTINGS) at various times starting November 10.  I certainly hope you get to tune in and watch the film either next week or wait until January when it finally comes on KQED.

Of course for those of you NOT in the Bay Area, forgive all this nonsense.  Please do check your local listings for when D TOUR will be airing in your part of the country.

In the meantime check out the new site for D TOUR on the PBS site!  Loads of extras including new interviews with Pat and Jim and plenty of information on organ donation and how you can help more.
