Onto the bad news, I won't be encoding and uploading anymore WordGirl episodes. Encoding and uploading takes a surprising amount of time, which is becoming more precious to me as other commitments battle for it, leaving me to both watch and organize the struggle, a struggle that is both rewarding and tiring. I am sorry about delaying my promise by a few months, keeping promises is what I always try to do.

This will be my last post, thanks for all the downloads and comments, everybody.

Some bad news

Hi, folks. I have some bad news regarding episode uploads. I'm way too busy doing other things! If I do upload the new episode from last month, then I'll probably upload it in about a month or two. Sorry, everybody!

WordGirl 3x10 Cherish Is the Word / Granny's Intuition

WordGirl 3x10 Cherish Is the Word / Granny's Intuition is up! The HD PBS affiliate here finally broadcasted a new episode, so I was able to capture that. However, it had a few errors in it, so I used the SD PBS capture to replace the parts with the errors. You might be able to see the transition. :-)

No alternative audio track for this one either, the recordings I got didn't have them.

WordGirl 3x11 Bampy Battles Bots / Truth, Revision, and the Lexicon Way

WordGirl 3x11 Bampy Battles Bots / Truth, Revision, and the Lexicon Way is up! The non-HD PBS channel here did not have the proper new episode on the 17th. So they will mess up the schedule every now and again, unfortunately. At least they had the other broadcasts right! No Spanish audio this time either since I couldn't get a good recording of that episode.

According to the KET PBS affiliate website, it looks like episode 3x10 will be airing in February on the 8th, 11th, and 14th. Hopefully, things will go smoothly then over here.

WordGirl 3x08 Bend It Like Becky / Questionable Behavior

WordGirl 3x08 Bend It Like Becky / Questionable Behavior is up!

Thankfully, one of the smaller PBS stations actually had truthful TV listings. I've trusted them two times before, and they lied about having a new episode at the listed times. I'm quite shocked they were actually episode 3x08! The bad thing is this PBS station never shows anything in HD, so the video size will be 512x288 instead of 656x368. I wanted to maintain the proper aspect ratio, along with other encoding stuff. :)

The actual recordings gave me some troubles, they had a few digital errors. Which is odd since they share the same broadcast tower as KCET, yet KCET tends to have a more stable broadcast. I finally got a perfect recording on a sub-channel, which does not broadcast the Spanish audio track. So that one will not be up. Onto the download links.

Good News and Bad News

First, the bad news. KCET is one of the few HD PBS stations in my area, and they will no longer be a part of the PBS network starting January 1st of 2011. KCET is one of the primary stations I use to capture WordGirl episodes. The other PBS stations in my area are unreliable when it comes to broadcasting new episodes of anything, or I just can't receive the other PBS stations due to my geographical location. You can read more about KCET going independent here and here.

Now the good news, two new WordGirl episodes should be broadcasting around January 3rd and the 17th. Those episodes should be 3x08 and 3x11, respectively. You can view this information too at the KET PBS affiliate website here.

As for encoding and uploading those new episodes, it may actually take months to even capture the episodes. The other PBS stations in my area are very unreliable when it comes to broadcasting new episodes of any show, so don't expect the new WordGirl episodes on this blog soon after they are supposed to air.
