Programming

Overview

Below is a list of programs schedule to expire in 2008 (December 31 unless otherwise noted). Some we cannot renew; others we'd like to replace with what we think is better programming (see right column). At the bottom is a list of other new programs we'd like for you to consider.

If you are a Florida teacher with an interest in which programs are selected, you may communicate your preferences to your district ITV contact. District contacts are the only people who may submit a ballot.

For more information and/or a preview of the new series listed below, just click on the links. Most links take you to the distributor's webpages. Those titles marked with an asterisk (*) may be previewed by requesting the downloaded video clip from your District ITV Contact. If you ARE the District Administrator, log-in from our homepage to get more information.
