Some of this will appeal to some of you - consult local listings for 
exact broadcast times in your area.

For the Hollywood Chinese program there may be excerpts from early 78s 
or pre-LP recordings.

If you live outside the US you can probably skip this post.

AMERICAN MASTERS
Hollywood Chinese
Wednesday, May 27, 2009 9 - 10:30 pm
 >From the first Chinese-American film produced in 1916 to Ang
Lee's triumphant Brokeback Mountain nine decades later,
"Hollywood Chinese" brings together a fascinating group of
actors, writers, directors -- and iconic film images -- to
examine how Chinese people have contributed to and been
portrayed by an industry that was often ignorant about and
dismissive of race. (CC, Stereo, HD, 1 year)
