Privately Run Schools in Montana
There are more than 30 privately run schools for troubled youth operating in the state of Montana. It's an exploding industry, but strangely, most Montanans have no idea the schools even exist. During the 2007 MT Legislature, lawmakers passed a bill requiring these schools to be licensed and regulated. (Find out more...)

Carole King - James Taylor at the Troubadour
Tomorrow at 7pm
Concert special starring Carole King and James Taylor filmed at their 2007 performances celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Los Angeles' famed Troubadour nightclub. At that club some 40 years ago, Taylor urged King to emerge as an artist from behind her piano, a seminal moment in the history of these pop singer-songwriter icons. King and Taylor perform 12 songs, including stunning performances of the pair's most beloved hits such as King's "So Far Away," "It's Too Late," and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" as well as Taylor's "Carolina in My Mind," "Sweet Baby James," and "Fire and Rain," to name just a few.

Butte, America
Sunday at 6pm
The epic story of the rise and fall of Butte is told through the people that forged this tightly-knit community: the miners and their families, people who were initially immigrants from Ireland and England but who eventually represented nations from across Europe (signs in the mines were written in 16 different languages). Theirs is a tale of hardship, fleeting joy, pride and community, hard-won and ever in peril; a camaraderie born of danger where every day in the mines could be the last.  (more...)
