In addition, the copyright-cleared program will be made available for broadcast on local access channels. A related Internet site (www.ovationtv.com) contains study guides, lesson plan ideas and games.

Upcoming episodes include: Concerto, with performances by The London Symphony Orchestra, and Stevensonís Travels, a two-part documentary on Robert Louis Stevensonís life, travel and works.

OVATION brings programming to schools through its partnership with Cable In The Classroom, serving over U.S. 70,000 public and private schools. OVATION, Alexandria, VA, (800) OVATION.
