Alabama Public Television reporters will be able to present nightly updates/reports on legislative activity from several locations in the statehouse in or near each chamber and from a small studio where interviews can be conducted with legislators involved in key activities. The nightly reports will be incorporated into Alabama Public Television's regular legislative coverage on For the Record. A new program, Capitol Journal: The Alabama Legislature airing Friday nights at 8:00pm, will review the week's action in the legislature. This will include segments taped earlier in the week with additional interviews and comment. The new Friday schedule will include time changes for Alabama @ Work (now at 8:30pm) and Now with Bill Moyers (now at 9:00pm).

Public Television expands its longtime commitment to coverage of the
Alabama Legislature this month by taking viewers right to the action
to experience the "sights and the sounds" of the process.
In past years, public television's coverage of the final night of the
legislature has generated huge interest from viewers. This reporting
from inside the house and senate chambers relied on the temporary installation
of cameras and microwave equipment. Now, new digital equipment and a
mini-studio at the statehouse will allow APT to offer this service throughout
the annual session.
