I haven't found too many with video... Maybe haven't looked in the right
places.

We get that station but only watch it infrequently. When are they on?

Really early in the morning, and then sometimes mid-day. It's kind of
erratic. If you're interested, I'd check their website and see what it says
for program guide. I'm always happy when I stumble onto one of the shows.

Well, that explains it! Not my key TV-viewing hours. <VBG>
(Though I do watch a soap at lunchtime that's turning into total dreck,
so maybe I should check out something more uplifting during my lunch
break!)

What I've found - or not - is "surprise" - there it is - a sewing show. I
think that Howard Uni (WHUT) station just moves their programming around.
For a while they were showing some really older, more simple Quilting shows
- but then I'll find Fons & Porter or sewing with Susie Kalje. I usually
find them at around 7 in the a.m., and then sometimes around 11- 12:30 there
might be 2 or 3 in a row. Also, I don't know if your cable has them, but
with our FIOS we have the extra stations for WETA & WMPT - WETA has one
called "WETA Create" - and they tend to sometimes have sewing shows. I know
that I've watched "Kaye's Quilting Friends" which I think is a bit older,
and much more "country" for lack of a better word than my taste, but, hey,
it's something.
We must be due for a get together.
