It's been a while since I've listed the areas in which the lesbian
& gay variety & entertainment series IN THE LIFE airs. The
broadcasts that I list in the weekly postings only include those
for which I have specific air dates/times. However, there are many
additional stations that broadcast the show without publishing
their air dates & times far enough in advance for the IN THE LIFE
program guide to list them. As of the latest program guide, IN THE
LIFE airs in the following areas on the tv stations indicated. If
your area is listed but you don't know when the monthly show airs,
I recommend that you call the station and request a specific air
date/time for the show, or a monthly program guide:

That's it for this week's TV shows. Not too many, due to holiday
programming. But this week's TV Guide contains an interesting letter to
the editor from Julianne Sallee of Pocahontas, AZ. She writes that her
grandchildren will not be watching Sesame Street anymore, because "it was
reported to me that Bert and Ernie are gay".

TV Guide responds: "Editor's Note: According to the Children's Television
Workshop: 'Bert and Ernie do not portray a gay couple and there are no
plans for them to do so in the future. They are puppets, not humans.'"
Now we know. <g>

Happy holidays everyone! (Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa,
Good Solstice, Felicidades en el Dia de Los Reyes, and Happy New Year!)
