The popular Avondale venue Bottletree Cafe closed on March 31 after 9 years of shows, drinks and vegetarian-friendly fare.
Tonight marks the final new episode of “We Have Signal,” the public TV series that brought Bottletree shows to the world.
The concert program aired on Thursday nights on Alabama Public Television since 2008. Some 131 half-hour episodes later, it bows with DC punk band Ex Hex, filmed Jan. 23.
The show won a regional Emmy Award in 2009. Each episode featured performance clips and backstage interviews with musicians. Most of the shows are available on Vimeo.
“We Have Signal” airs at 10 tonight on APT 10.1, with repeats at 10:30 tonight and 11 p.m. Sunday.
Video: “Roadtrip Nation” special, “Why Not Us?”
[Birmingham at 35:36]
PBS series “Roadtrip Nation” changed its format for 2015. The reality documentary show typically follows three college-age participants traveling across the country in a green RV to interview interesting people.
The goal is to discover how they ended up where they are in their career, providing inspiration for those seeking the path forward.
This year’s trip covered the same distance in a far shorter period, but still managing to squeeze in a stop in Birmingham.
The four roadtrippers shared one trait: Each one was the first in their family to attend college. And their journey was not shown in a dozen half-hour episodes that usually comprise a full season, but a 1-hour special titled “Why Not Us?”
The team stopped to interview Odessa Woolfolk, founding president of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (found at 35:36 in the video). Also featured in the clip is Barry McNealy, a tour guide and high school social studies teacher.
See the interview and its impact on the “Roadtrip Nation” crew.
“Why Not Us?” will re-air on APT 10.2 World Channel at 6 p.m. Sunday, 4 a.m. Monday, 5 p.m. July 7 and 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. July 8.

Sandra Jaffe’s film “Our Mockingbird” is scheduled to run Feb. 3 on PBS’ World Channel as part of the “America Reframed” series. The director had already set out to do a documentary on Harper Lee’s landmark novel when she discovered that mostly black Fairfield High and her alma mater, mostly white Mountain Brook High, were working on a joint production of the play.
The documentary has screened in various stages since its debut in 2010 in Monroeville, Lee’s hometown. It appeared at the 2012 Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival and as a part of Birmingham’s 50 Years Forward in 2013, as well as screenings in Jaffe’s current city, Boston.
This isn’t the first time Jaffe has turned her lens on her hometown. In 1985, she directed the short doc, “Jazz in the Magic City,” about musicians in the 1920s and ’30s who learned to read music in the city’s only black high school from the printing instructor. It aired on PBS and the Discovery Channel.
Jaffe is a screenwriter and script consultant in addition to director, plus a screenwriting instructor at Northeastern University. She has won several awards for her work, including one from the Writers Guild of America.
A specific time for Alabama Public Television has not been announced yet.Update Jan. 28: The film premieres at 7 p.m. Feb. 3 on PBS World, repeating throughout the week. PBS World broadcasts in Birmingham on channel 10.2.
Legendary soul singer Aretha Franklin spends time in both
the town and the documentary “Muscle Shoals,”
airing next week on PBS.
The music documentary “Muscle Shoals” will air nationally on PBS for an encore run next week. The 2013 film chronicles the music, the artists and the special sound from the northwest Alabama, focusing on FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio.
Among the celebrated musicians are Aretha Franklin, Steve Winwood, Bono, Spooner Oldham, Mick Jagger, Gregg Allman and Percy Sledge.
The film airs as part of the “Independent Lens” series, and includes the short doc, “Waiting for a Train: The Toshio Hirano Story.” Airtimes include both Alabama Public Television’s main channel 10.1 and World channel 10.2:
8 p.m. Monday on 10.1;
11 p.m. Tuesday on 10.1;
3 a.m. Wednesday on 10.1; 6 and 11 p.m. on 10.2;
7 a.m. and 1 p.m. Thanksgiving on 10.2;
1 and 11 a.m. Nov. 29 on 10.1;
2 a.m. Nov. 30 on 10.1.

In December, Wade on Birmingham will feature an excerpt from “Muscle Shoals Sound Studio: How the Swampers Changed American Music,” written by our friend Carla Jean Whitley. If you can’t wait, get the book from Amazon or iTunes [aff. links] or the Jefferson County libraries.
Some of you may recall way back in the spring of this year, a teensy weensy little petroleum spill somewhere out to sea.
It started with an oil drilling platform explosion in the Gulf of Mexico killing 11 workers and blossoming into the worst U.S. environmental disaster ever. Portions of the Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida coastlines suffered natural and economic damage.
Relive those heady days of early 2010 tonight when “Frontline” presents “The Spill,” a look inside the seemingly reckless practices of BP, the platform’s owner.
BP chief executive officer Robert Dudley said Monday, “I do not believe that BP is an unsafe company. There will be some documentaries run, I think tomorrow night in the U.S., that paints that picture of the company.”
A western Jefferson County prison dabbles in Buddhism. That’s the setup for the compelling documentary, “The Dhamma Brothers,” airing at 9 tonight on Alabama Public Television.
It boils down to men sitting on cushions, utterly silent for 10 days. This potentially dull setup makes for an ultimately engaging story. I’m sure this movie will win an award or two at Sidewalk, and will likely be the best one you see all weekend.
It airs following a new 2-hour documentary called “The Buddha.”
“The Dhamma Brothers” repeats at 1 a.m. Thursday and 5 a.m. Monday on APT. It also repeats on APT’s digital channel 10-2 at 9 p.m. May 2 and 12:30 a.m. May 3.
Friday marks the final final deadline for the digital TV transition. As we reported in February, you know, before the original deadline, broadcast stations around the country would convert from analog to digital signals.
This transition includes all stations in the Birmingham market.
You the viewer have a few options:
Watch cable.
Watch satellite.
Install a converter box.
Read a book.
Don’t blame us when you wake up Saturday morning to watch informercials or fishing shows, only to find static clogging up your VHF and UHF tubes. Instead, check our easy guide to making the conversion to DTV. And welcome to the 21st century.
If you have cable, or satellite, or Amish beliefs, stop reading: You’re not affected.
(Also, if you have a newfangled DTV-ready TV set, you can also stop reading.)
Otherwise, if you’re a TV watcher in Birmingham, you might still be confused about the digital TV transition. We certainly are. But we’re here to help.
If you currently watch regular broadcast television, the kind that comes in for free via antenna, your free ride may be coming to an end — though it may end either late Tuesday or June 12. Yeah, see, confusing.
The federal government has required TV stations to switch from analog to digital transmission. The switch was to take place at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, but the DTV Delay Act gives those stations the option to switch now or on June 12.
If Alabama hasn’t received enough national media attention lately, the drought is over, friends.
Exhibit A: Don Siegelman freed by “60 Minutes.” The former governor talked with the news magazine about seeing his story and his challenge for Republican operative Karl Rove.
Check out his brief interview from last Sunday’s broadcast …
• Siegelman Future Hinges On Appeal [CBS News]
Exhibit B: How bad is the state’s tax system? PBS news magazine “Now” investigates.
“Now” gets inside the lives of three Alabamian families — each in a different income bracket — to document the impact of regressive tax policies on people’s lives and wallets. The program follows a working mom to a grocery store, showing viewers how a 10 percent sales tax on groceries makes a significant difference in what her family eats.
Viewers travel to the backwoods to meet a couple who have always held jobs but still face hunger. They wonder why the government takes such a big share of the salary they earn. The program also spends time with a well-to-do suburban couple who benefit from a system that gives them huge tax breaks, and we hear their opinion on a tax hike.
The show airs at 8:30 p.m. Friday on APT-10 (a one-time only resurrection from its current time slot, 3:30 a.m. Sundays, banished there by the cowards at Alabama Public Television). Video and podcast will be available next week on the show’s site and on iTunes.

Exhibit C: As the corruption in Alabama’s two-year college system comes to light, lawmakers are running scared. Many “work” for the system, and are now being hauled before a grand jury to prove they’re not in it just for money. Oh, but think of the children poorly educated not-quite-collegians! (Hat tip to our pal Dave.)

If your TV set and DVR haven’t been stolen, tune in at 7 tonight for the oddly named “Birmingham 35911,” an hourlong report from Alabama Public Television on the city’s struggles with violent crime. Randy Scott will serve as host for this installment of the news series, “Alabama Stories.”
“What’s being done to fight crime in Alabama’s largest city? Some federal statistics suggest there could be an increase in violence in the Magic City. As a new police chief settles in at city hall, this program explores what’s being done to stop this alarming trend.”
(APT will likely make the program available afterwards on its video page, which you can watch if your computer hasn’t been stolen.)
And be sure to visit our Crime Watch page, with the latest on Birmingham under siege. Fun fact: For 2008, we’re at 19 homicides, more than 50 percent ahead of last year at this time with a measly 12.
Artistry all around: Two of Birmingham’s biggest festivals made September a downtown destination. Artwalk had another successful outing, pulling in more than 10,000 visitors over two days. Your 2007 winners are Omni Studio (First Place), Bobby Michelson (Second Place), Royal Miree (Third Place) and Scotty White (Honorable Mention).
The Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival closed out the month without the turmoil of the past year (funding issues! staff changes! filmmaker bickering!). The three-day festival featured a new executive director, a better opening night film (“The Ten,” which sent a few audience members scurrying out early), and the usual slate of parties, films and fun. In all, the judges and audience selected 34 winners … 10 more than the Oscars.
Photographer Larry O. Gay shares his snapshots from Artwalk …
