I'm glad to see that the KUHT political program The Connection: Red, White, and Blue is on its way back to the airwaves after an unplanned hiatus followed by a bit of a kerfuffle. It fills a very useful niche in the local media landscape - as the story notes, it was the only place to see Adrian Garcia and Tommy Thomas go head-to-head last year - and is the sort of thing that public television should be doing. (And just so we're clear, I think KUHT has been doing some excellent work, most notably with its "Houston Have Your Say" series.) It's also the show where I made my local teevee debut, so there's some sentimental value there as well. I look forward to its return, hopefully in time for some shows focusing on the big municipal elections we'll be having this fall.
