Arizona Illustrated to Return in High Definition with New Features
The program will return to its normal schedule on Monday, Sept. 8.
The award-winning Arizona Illustrated is on hiatus through Friday, Sept. 5, and will return to its normal schedule at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 8. Upon its return, the show will be broadcast in high definition and with new features.
During the hiatus, KUAT is hosting complete coverage of both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.
“The new Arizona Illustrated will give a fresh perspective on news in southern Arizona,” said Jack Gibson, director and general manager of Arizona Public Media. “We will keep all the best of the existing show – the ‘Friday Roundtable’ and thorough coverage of news of interest to the local community with our ‘In Focus’ segments. The new show will now respond to our viewers with a segment called ‘Letters’ and have a fresh emphasis on local music, sports and special video segments from our creative videographers.”
