Fit on TV's AutoWeek

I read on the TOV forum that they'll be looking at a Fit this weekend on MotorWeek-- check your PBS-type station.

MotorWeek -- Fit

This is the complete list of stations/times:

http://www.pbs.org/mpt/motorweek/stationlist.shtml

If you have DISH or DirecTV, MotorWeek airs on Sats. 4 PM EST, Channel PBSU. I missed it!! Real nice of Honda to let us know -- I signed up for their newsletter and all I get is stuff about Acura and Accord, etc.

Correction -- don't believe everything you read. I scanned my program listings and found the program will be aired on WBCC Channel 8282 tomorrow (Sun. 4/15) 10-10:30 AM EST. Not sure if that is strictly a local channel. If you have DISH, see if you have MotorWeek on 8282. Only 30 min. so the Fit will go by fast.

Local PBS stations pretty much have total control over what to air and when, so its gonna be different for everyone. Here in Baltimore, we get three PBS stations -- WETA, WHUT, and the station that makes Motorweek, MPT.

I saw it today. if you've already clicked this link:

you've already read exactly what was said. It was nice to see a storm silver sport in action since thats the one im getting.

Thanks for the info. I would have loved to see the Storm Silver in action, since that's the one I'm getting, too. I called DISH Network this morning. Last night I tuned into a local channel that plugs into some of the PBS programming, including MotorWeek. I set my VCR for 10 AM this morning, but all I got was a message that soon I wouldn't need two satellite dishes to watch the station. DISH customer no service told me that I was getting "crossover" reception last night while they're making the transition. She assured me I would get the station by the end of April. I told her that this morning may have been the only time I'd ever watch it! She was apologetic and of course it wasn't her fault so I didn't give her a hard time about it. According to PBS's website, DISH is supposed to offer PBS-U, but it doesn't -- not yet. General bad timing. I appreciate everyone on the Forum sharing their photos & info to help me get through the next few days!
