PBS 08.28.2004: "The Mazda RX-8 vs. the Alfa GT"

Comparison Test: The Mazda RX-8 vs. the Alfa GT coming up on European Auto Magazine. Find a local PBS channel.

"The Mazda RX 8 Coupé with a 192 horsepower twin-disk rotary engine and rear-wheel drive faces the Alfa Romeo GT, likewise a coupé with a two-liter inline four cylinder with direct injection gasoline technology, front wheel drive and a 165 horsepower output."

I did not find it either. Did anyone capture it and could host it?

Enter your zip code, then select one of the TV stations. Within the index that comes up, look for "European Auto Magazine". If you don't see it, try another TV station.

Maybe you could try some other local zip codes.

Hopefully someone will be able to host this on their site.

It seems that I'm sending y'all on a wild goose chase - sorry. I made the incorrect assumption that this show would be broadcast on many PBS stations around the country.

I searched the PBS stations in California, Texas, Virginia, and Maryland and only came up with one station
WHUT in the DC metro area that broadcasts European Auto Magazine.

If anyone else finds it in their area (outside DC metro), please post.

The name of the show is "auto motor und sport TV" = "Auto Motor and Sport TV".

You might try your local cable website or if your cable has a search function use that for the 28th +_ a day or two.
In this market the PBS station airs European Auto Magazine after MotorWeek. The cable (Comcast) does not have a program description for the EAM... hope its the one on Sat at 1230-100pm.

The local (to you and I) WHUT Comcast broadcast of EAM ("Auto Motor and Sport TV") this Saturday 08.28 is going to have the RX-8 / Alfa comparison according to what they said at the end of the 08.21 show I watched last Saturday.

Did anyone manage to capture it so that it could be hosted somewhere?
