What happened to Roy Underhill?

Your local. Roy still comes through on the satellite feed after "Hometime" on Saturday.

I wish someone would hook us up with a torrent of some of Roy's shows. He's not available in my area now either.

SFWIW, here in SoCal one of the PBS stations has dropped both programs.

The other broadcasts only NYW unless they are begging, which is most of the time.

He still has a show. Complain to your local PBS station; that's what the "P" is for.

Mike

He is still around...

Spent a couple days with Roy last March when he came up north to do a program at my club... He said that his show is free to all the PBS stations. All they have to do is pick it up off the feed and air it. State Farm Insurance underwrites the whole thing...

They do have some of the better Hand and Finger policies.

(Is that what the ... was for?)

Yes... Roy joked, after doing a demo where he put his shaving horse on top of his work bench so all could see, (to paraphrase) that "State Farm underwrites it all., Hard to believe isn't it?" I put a picture up on ABPW.
