book tv conflicts

i love to watch book tv weekends on c-span2, but the schedule often irritates me.

2 weeks ago i wrote on philippe sands' talk. it's run twice, both at inconvenient times if you want to watch washington journal and can't stay up past 3am.

now it's happened with national review senior editor jeffrey hart, who wrote the making of the american conservative mind: national review and its times.

his talk's also been on twice, on consecutive sundays, first at 9:30am, then 6:30am.

washington journal runs on c-span 7 days a week at 7-10am, so half [tho opposite halves] of hart's talk conflicted with it both times.

wouldn't you think c-span2's book tv schedulers would know what's on c-span and be sensitive to viewers' needs?

they could make it easier to watch both after words and q&a too. one's on c-span sunday at 8 and 11pm, the other at 6 and 9 on c-span2. why not at the same time?

but i can't expect them to read my mind, can i?
