tv notes: REMEMBERING ROGER EBERT tomorrow night on World Channel (PBS-affiliated network); JAKE SHIMABUKURO: LIFE ON FOUR STRINGS May 10 on PBS

from the World Channel today: 

WTTW in Chicago was kind enough to offer WORLD a broadcast window for its locally-produced tribute to film critic Roger Ebert, who died last Thursday.  We're pleased to be able to present this timely program to a wider audience on WORLD.

CHICAGO TONIGHT: REMEMBERING ROGER EBERT will air tomorrow, 04/09 at 20:00 (8pm) EST and 25:00 EST (aka 04/10 @ 1:00 am EST), replacing BONSAI PEOPLE – THE VISION OF MUHAMMAD YUNUS. Please see airdates and localization points below.

PBS, for it's part, wishes to supplement my all-woman uke presentation this past week by offering an hour with Jake Shimabukuro on May 10th. (I tweeted the Women with Ukuleles post with the line: "Some Women with Ukuleles: It's Saturday Music Clubtown, Jake..." A joke with relevance here that perhaps five people read and maybe all five got!)

"Follow ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro over the course of a musical season. Enjoy dynamic performances before sold-out crowds, intimate moments of life on the road and visits to Shimabukuro’s native Hawai’i, where he has risen from local hero to international star."
