Don't know if anyone else here gets the cable channel "Book TV", but I do, at least sometimes, on my local cable.
I've just noticed a couple things.
From Jasper's appearances page:
LOS ANGELES, CA
Saturday, April 26
LA Times Festival of Books/UCLA Campus
1:00 -- 2:00 PM -- Panel, Details to come
From www.booktv.org:
Schedule Grid - Saturday, April 26
ET Programs
2:00 pm Featured Program: Los Angeles Times Festival of Books-Saturday coverage
7:00 pm Encore Booknotes: Program Pre-empted for coverage of Los Angeles Times Festival of Books
8:00 pm Public Lives: Program Pre-empted for coverage of Los Angeles Times Festival of Books
11:00 pm History on Book TV: Program Pre-empted for coverage of Los Angeles Times Festival of Books
Now, the 1-2 pm for Jasper's panel is presumably in LA time, which would be (I believe) 3 hours behind Eastern Time, which is what the Book TV schedule is in. So his panel would be at 4pm ET, which is during one of the time blocks in which they are covering the festival.
Now mind you, I imagine lots of things are happening at once at this festival, so they likely won't show Jasper. But I think I'll videotape that channel on that day, just in case.

Well, they appear to only exist on the weekends, on a cable channel that otherwise carries other stuff.
Last time I came across it while channel surfing it was Patricia Cornwell talking about her theory as to the identity of Jack the Ripper. I'll have to look this weekend to figure out what channel it actually is.
Their website is here:
www.booktv.org
And looking at their site, I see that the channel it's on is "C-SPAN2" (a news channel) the rest of the week.

our book tv in our area broadcasts on C-span 2 on the weekends. So I'll have to make sure to watch for it. By the way, Jasper did a radio interview that will be ending up as streaming audio at:
[www.eyeonbooks.com]
So check it out. It should be there soon! There's a blurb for it now. And the publicist that was traveling with Jasper and Mari in DC said that's where it would be...probably by the end of the week or so.
