It’s the most popular program on public television, and for the next three weeks, Birmingham will be in the spotlight.  Last summer, Antiques Roadshow visited Birmingham and the result was three programs…the first of which debuts tonight at 7 o’clock on Alabama Public Television.  WBHM’s Michael Krall spoke with Mike McKenzie from APT about the show and the items that were discovered…

(The program airs March 30th, April 6th. and April 13th.)
