International Dateline: New Orleans Blues
More
Information and Broadcast Times
Dateline returns for a new season with
this searing report on the political and social fallout from Hurricane
Katrina.� Five months after the storm devastated New Orleans, the
rebuilding of the city is opening deep racial scars that threaten the stability
of this diverse icon of the American South. While wealthy white suburbs have
power and water and residents returning, poor black suburbs like the Lower 9th
Ward are virtually unchanged since Katrina swept through. The streets are still
littered with rubble, bodies are still being discovered.
Also: Interviews with former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon
Peres and Palestinian Foreign Minister, Nabil Sha'ath.

Video of the Week
Artist: Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Song: "Long Walk to Freedom"
Country: South Africa
View This Video Now!
During the apartheid era, black workers in the South African mines lived in barracks provided by their white employers.� A soft sort of a capella music was born there, out of a need to keep things quiet. This music was called Iscathamiya , and it became widely popular, with competitions drawing contestants from miles around. Ladysmith Black Mambazo won so many of these contests that they were eventually barred from competing. The group has shown remarkable longevity, rising above adversity to prominence in 1986 as the backing vocalists on "Graceland" and going on to singing behind Lifesavers commercials (and that's still them!). With the release of a new retrospective CD they are celebrating the emancipation of South Africa, and spreading a message of love, respect and peace. The video is an eloquent enactment of the band's --and South Africa's history.�
Premiere:�Monday, 1/30�at�7:55 PM ET (4:55 PM PT)
Repeat times are:
Tuesday, 1/31 at 1:55 AM ET (10:55 PM PT)
Tuesday, 1/31 at 7:55 AM ET (4:55 AM PT)

Best Viewer Comments Of The Week
(Keep them coming. Next week it could be yours!)
January 19, 2006
It's so absolutely wonderful to turn on the most commercial of mediums and yet discover a channel that celebrates the rich diversity of cultures and traditions other than our own. YAY! And to experience the authentic music and dance is truly uplifting and lovely! Many big smiles when I watch LinkTV..... Thank you thank you thank you!
January 21, 2006
�... When Al Gore and buddies bought the Canadian Newsworld International channel, and changed programming to airhead teenies boppers, I was so mad that I almost dumped satellite TV entirely. LINK saved my day! I do miss Helen Mann--prettiest girl on TV any where. If I were 40 years younger, twice as good-looking as I actually am, and twice as rich, I'd go questing in the north. (And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.) So I gratefully settle for Amy's competence and happily plod on.�

What a wonderful program! A program that takes you all over around the globe while you are seating at home. I hate changing channels once I begin watching Link TV
