Now on TV in the U.S.

Now available on public television in the United States!

On October 11, 2009, public broadcasting television stations throughout the United States (many of whom are members of the PBS network) will have access to ‘The Soviet Story’, the award-winning and highly acclaimed documentary film by Edvīns Šnore.

Via public television programming distributor NETA (National Educational Telecommunications Association) the film will now be accessible to NETA’s 172 licensees that comprise 340 public broadcasting television stations across the United States. Each of these TV stations will now be able to screen the film. Given public broadcasting stations are very selective about what they screen, NETA’s acceptance of the film is an important acknowledgement of the film and its potential audience reach. American TV audiences will now be able to learn about this important period of history and how it still resonates today.

The first TV station in the U.S. scheduled to air the film will be WDSC 15 Daytona Beach, Florida on October 15 at 9:00 pm. WHYY 12 in Pennsylvania and WLRN 17 Miami will air the film on November 20. KVIE 2, Sacramento, California will screen the film on January 23, 2010.

Other member stations that have already indicated their interest to screen the film include: KAET 8, Phoenix, Arizona;  KPBS 15, San Diego, California;  WEDU 13, Tampa, Florida; WTIU 30  Bloomington, Indiana;  IPTV, Iowa Public TV, Iowa; MPT (Maryland Public TV), Maryland; NHPTV (New Hampshire Public TV), New Hampshire, and WNED, Buffalo, New York. Following the NETA release on 10/11, more stations are expected to follow, particularly as viewers get news that the film is accessible by their local station. If you would like your local public broadcasting station to screen the film, please contact them and ask that they schedule a screening of ‘The Soviet Story’.

Public broadcasting stations are very positive about what their viewers would like to see. If they see sufficient interest, they will find time to schedule a screening of the film…………………………………………………………
