The new PBS documentary The Harvey Girls: Opportunity Bound got terrific ratings on New Mexico Public Television on Thursday night, (11/21). KNME GM Franz Joachim reports a 2.6 rating, the 7th highest rating in the entire PBS system and one of the main reasons KNME was THE MOST WATCHED PBS station in the country Thursday night. Mazel tov to director Katrina Parks, and proud that my book, Appetite for America and I are featured in the film. Stay tuned for air dates in NY, San Francisco and other cities–and if your local PBS station hasn’t scheduled it yet, call them and demand your Harvey Girls!
