Celtic Woman Ancient Land is airing on Buffalo PBS (WNED):
Saturday, November 24, 06:00 pm on WNED-TV
Friday, November 30, 03:00 am on WNED-TV
Duration:
1:59:00
Description:
Delight in the shimmering voices and enchanting music of this new concert filmed at the beautiful Johnstown Castle in Wexford, Ireland. Features stunning new music from the latest album, Ancient Land, along with a selection of timeless classics.
That means the first airing on PBS for me is just a few days before I see the Celtic Woman: Best of Christmas tour!

Seattle PBS (KCTS-9) is showing Celtic Woman LOTS of love, with 3 airings of Homecoming and 10 scheduled airings of Ancient Land over the next month. ;D

Someone please record some bits from the special! :) My PBS station has decided not to play the special. They said they werent aware that CW was going to be in the area and so they arent airing it because of that! I tend to have trouble with this PBS station. So over them! :/
-
I'm not sure how I'm going to watch the special either. It doesn't come up in any searches in my local PBS station's schedule. I have an Amazon Fire Stick so installed the PBS app on that and I pretended that my local station is KCTS-9 (thanks, Tom!). It doesn't seem to provide a live stream of the station, but it does have lots of videos available so maybe Ancient Land will show up there at some point.

Just saw this and thought"hmmm...let me check the Providence PBS station.....sure enough, Celtic Woman Ancient Land, Saturday, Nov. 24th at 6:00 p.m. They`ll be offering tickets for sale but I already beat them to it and got my front row "pit" ticket the morning they went on sale ....show is April 2nd.

Maybe. They tend not to post full programs online for on-demand playback unless it's a series they designed to only be available on their website for subscribers.
They weren't even aware Celtic Woman was coming? I wonder what happened there. Maybe they'll have something in the March pledge drive instead of fall like some of the other stations, but by then we'll all have at least one copy of the DVD.
Neither Detroit or Rochester have the special listed yet, although both have told me they'll have M+G tickets in December. I suspect that most of the stations that will be airing the special this year will post it in their schedule within the next two weeks.

I always tell our PBS station I am going to stop supporting them because they never show the programs when they release to everyone else. I flat out tell them that since the special will be out on DVD by the time that they decide to put it on the air, that I have no problem taking my business elsewhere. They always seem to apologize profusely about it but never really do anything about it lol

For those in the Phila area, WHYY will be airing Anciant Land on Wed, Nov 28, 9 to 10:30 pm.

The Ancient Land tour is not coming to Las Vegas, or any place that would be a short drive away. I was just hoping that Vegas PBS would show the Ancient Land special anyway. I'll probably check the schedule a few more times before November 24. Thanks for the info, Tom.

Even if there's no show nearby, PBS could still do well on CDs and DVDs during the pledge drives. And you would think they would do better before everyone has the CD and DVD already from elsewhere. Getting the DVD early through PBS should be a pretty big incentive for people to get it during the pledge drive. The ball is in their court, I guess.
-
I'm not sure yet how I'll see it before the DVD release either. The one PBS station I get told me they'll be airing it in March. Lame! I'll have the DVD before that. I'm seriously considering buying out the remaining 6 months of my cable contract to switch back to Dish, because there's another PBS station in northern MN that is airing it and I did get that station when I had Dish last year while Homecoming was airing. Don't think I can handle waiting until the DVD release to see it when I could see it less than 2 weeks from now!

Ancient Land on Rochester PBS (WXXI):
Tuesday, Nov. 27
8:00 PM EST
Detroit PBS hasn't posted Ancient Land in their schedule yet, but probably will within the next week.
-
Oooh oooh oooh, I don't need to switch back to Dish! Just checked the website of the one PBS station (TPT Minneapolis) I get and Ancient Land is airing November 28th!! Yaaaassssss!!
-
WPT which is Wisconsin public TV is areing the special on Nov 25th at 3:30 pm and the 26th at 11:00 pm on the main channel both days
-
Just saw on the schedule that Ancient Land will be on PBS Atlanta (GPB) Sunday November 25th, at 5pm! I can't wait!
-
it`s on the Providence PBS station Sat. night at 6:00...CAN`T WAIT!!!
-
Got a pair Meet and Greet tickets for Rochester (March 26)!
That's two confirmed M+Gs so far for me.
The premiere date for Detroit PBS will probably show up next week, with M+G tickets to follow, so that will be 3 M+Gs for me!
-
Rocky Mountain PBS (RMPBS) will be showing Ancient Land tomorrow at 3:30 PM! EEK! I'M SO EXCITED! ;D

Can you please message me if there's anything mentioned about an Ancient Land show in Colorado during the broadcast?
I don't see any special tickets listed on that PBS site yet (they have the CD, DVD, and combo, but no tickets yet), but it's possible they'll reveal during the show some news about a show I've been waiting on.
-
Will do, Tom!
I unfortunately haven't seen Colorado on the Ancient Land tour schedule yet, but I didn't at this time two years ago either, and they performed at Red Rocks last June.
I will be sure to keep an eye and an ear out, and I'll let you know if they mention anything. :)
-
Tracie I found this and thought you might like. it's to much for me so looks like no show for me this year
2 tickets with Meet and Greet to Celtic Woman at the State Theatre in Minneapolis on Saturday, May 18, 2019 at 7:00 PM plus Ancient Lands CD and DVD ($500.00)

If you call them, will they let you get a single ticket for less money than the full 2-ticket bundle?
-
Thanks Glen! Wow, that's expensive. I'll talk it over with Gregg but since we already have two meet and greets that combined cost less than that, we'll probably just keep the front row tickets we bought from Ticketmaster for the Minneapolis show.
Glen, did you see that WTTW Chicago is offering ticket plus meet and greet for $125/person for the Rosemont IL show? I'm not sure if it's listed on their website yet because they called me and offered it to me.
-
Evening Star, please let me know about Colorado too! And if there's a meet and greet for the Christmas show because I'm flying to Denver for that!
-
I just finished watching it on PBS... and it was PHENOMENAL!
They didn't say anything about a meet and greet for their upcoming Christmas show in Denver or about any Ancient Land shows anywhere in Colorado, unfortunately. :(
-
Me too!
My PBS didn't have any M+Gs as I knew they wouldn't, having chatted with them in advance.
They did have ads before and after the PBS special for The Best of Christmas in Buffalo, but no special pledge gifts for those. We got the M+Gs for The Best of Christmas separately from PBS anyways. ;)
I'll start working on the writeup now. It's going to be tricky because it will overlap significantly with the review of the live concert and of the album and I don't want to just copy and paste sections of it. I want it to be something original that comes straight from the heart while I'm still experiencing the ecstasy of this wonderful concert special.
I should hopefully have something posted in about 3-4 hours.
For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, you're going to LOVE it!

Bummer - thanks for looking for us!
