Texas Country Reporter goes national

One of my favorite TV shows on the weekend is Texas Country Reporter. Host Bob Phillips and crew know how to do feature stories right! (Read the show's history)

WATCH SOME STORIES HERE

The show is reportedly on in every Texas television market (Houston Channel 51 KNWS).

According to this New York Times article, Bob Phillips is going national. A national version of the show, On the Road With Bob Phillips, is planned to debut in January 2009.

If you are from Houston, you might remember The Eyes of Texas.  It was the Houston produced version. KPRC Channel 2 has resurrected that show, but the original episodes are back on the air too.

Houston's PBS station KUHF Channel 8 now plays the Ray Miller version of the show but calls it Texas Our Texas. You can see a promo for the original show here. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
