For fans of classic black-and-white television, a new treat is coming to West Tennessee airwaves. Steve Beverly's TV Classics represents the Golden Age of television, before niche programming took over and represents a less complicated time when the whole family could gather around the television.
TV Classics will fit perfectly in WLJT's existing Saturday night lineup, airing just before the long-running family variety show The Lawrence Welk Show.
A new television show is coming to West TN PBS this month that aims to showcase local ideas, perspectives, and happenings right here in Tennessee.

Julius Caesar: The Making of a Dictator is a new three-part BBC-produced historical docudrama that explores how the nearly five-centuries-old Roman democracy was overthrown in just 16 years.
The story of a brazen power grab that saw Julius Caesar consolidate the vast Roman Republic under his sole authority, this docuseries provides an unprecedented glimpse into one of history's most consequential political upheavals.
Told through the insightful lens of an elite cast of British and American historians, scholars, and former high-ranking political operatives - including a former head of Britain's MI5 intelligence agency - the series strips away centuries of mythologizing to lay bare the realities that brought down Rome's democratic system.
Following one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history, Mr Bates vs The Post Office was created with direct input from the innocent – and indomitable – people caught up in it. The series has set off a firestorm of public interest and, within eight days of premiering, the Prime Minister announced a new law to pardon the victims who had been wrongly convicted. The stellar ensemble cast is led by the award-winning Toby Jones (Empire of Light, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Sherlock) as Alan Bates and will premiere on Sunday, April 7, 2024 and air throughout April on West TN PBS.
When money started to seemingly disappear from its local branches, the government-owned Post Office wrongly blamed their own managers for its apparent loss. For more than a decade, hundreds were accused of theft and fraud, and many were even sent to prison – leaving lives, marriages, and reputations in ruins. But the issue was actually caused by errors in the Post Office’s own computer system – something it denied for years. Revealing a shocking David vs. Goliath fight for justice, this is the story of the decent ordinary people who were relentlessly pursued, coerced and controlled by a powerful corporation, and their ongoing battle, against seemingly insurmountable odds, to right so many horrific wrongs.
