GOOD NEWS FOR PBS FANS
OUR THANKS FOR THIS CONTRIBUTION FROM PETE PUTMAN

PBS will launch a new channel dedicated to high definition and digital widescreen programming in the winter of 2004 digital.-- "The PBS HD channel represents a new service under our current PBS brand. It will draw from a growing library of up to 400 hours of digital NPS programming thanks to the support from national producers in clearing the rights for the PBS HD service. We believe that the launch of a 24X7 high definition and digital widescreen programming service to replace the ‘HD Loop’ will enable stations to signal the transition from demonstration to early deployment of high definition television."

"With great power comes great responsibility." For Peter Parker, his late uncle's words become his personal credo in this spectacular adaptation of the landmark comic book. Directed by Sam Raimi (the Evil Dead films) and written by David Koepp, the film stars Tobey Maguire as Peter, a nerdy high-school teen who lives with his aunt and uncle in Queens and pines for his sexy neighbor Mary Jane. Bitten by a radioactive spider, Peter suddenly develops incredible physical characteristics, but it is not until his uncle is tragically murdered that the youth realizes his true calling. For New York City, it's just in time, thanks to the arrival of the Green Goblin, an evildoer whose mask and murderous mission hide his true identity--and his disturbing connection to Peter! Willem Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco co-star.
