TV Alert

There really should be a “Cryptozoology Channel” on cable television, but until that happens, you can find great nights like tonight, Monday, January 7, 2008, and overnight into Tuesday.

For six hours tonight, three cryptozoology-oriented programs on the Hobbit, Sasquatch, and Champ will be broadcast on the Discovery Channel.

Here is the evening schedule. The same three programs are repeated in the wee hours of the night in the East tomorrow morning, Tuesday, Janurary 8th, as well as during the evening out West. Check your local listings.
