Hey folks, Harry here... Well, here's how the KICKSTARTER wound up... Not only did we deliver 7 episodes deliverable to KLRU, Austin's PBS affiliate, but that run has gone so well that with KLRU as our Presenting Station, these 7 episodes will be airing nationwide. We're still having many stations committing and awaiting scheduling, but right now, AIN'T IT COOL WITH HARRY KNOWLES will be airing on 56 PBS Broadcast Stations across 23 states - all thanks to our new presenting sponsor, IMAX!
You can discover all the new news and station updates over at the Show's website, http://www.aicwhk.com !!!
We're going from Fairbanks, Alask to Orlando, Florida! From Hawaii to New York City! The entire state of South Carolina is representing! Los Angeles to Chicago to New Orleans to Dallas and much much more!!! If you don't see your local station, realize... we're out to every PBS Affiliate in the country. I've yet to see a turn down. A few vacationing programmers, but lots are looking for room on their stations which is terribly exciting, but if you want it airing on your local network, let them hear about it! But here's where we're at right now!

I love that IMAX is helping our show roll out across the nation! I've long been a supoorter of their amazing format and have hosted many IMAX events over the years. So this just feels like a perfect and exciting fit for us! IMAX and the team wanted us to film an announcement for FANTASTIC FEST - so here's what we did:
As for you International folks, we are in preliminary talks with some very exciting options overseas! We never could have done any of this without everyone behind our Kickstarter success! The whole team behind the show is beaming. This is so beyond our wildest expectations! Maybe we can shoot the next season in IMAX... That's the perfect format for my Basement! Giggle!
Broadcast dates are coming quickly, we begin in San Francisco this October 1st!
More news to come!
