Combat Zone: Battle of Tal Afar (2005)

http://dsc.discovery.c​om …zone/episode/ep​iosde.html

Okay, guys. The show airs on the Discovery Channel on March 3 at 9:00 pm ET.

Battle of Tal Afar (Iraq, 2005)
Premieres March 3 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT
For centuries, the city of Tal Afar served as a trading post linking East and West. By 2005, Al-Qaeda's brutal reign turned it into a ghost town. In May, the US Army moves in to wipe them out, restoring Iraqi government control to the city.

If you missed it on the Military Channel in February, you will be able to catch it on the Discovery Channel next month. That's if you're interested in seeing my ugly mug on TV and hearing our boring war stories.

An outstanding job out there.

Very, VERY proud.

Colonel Malone, I've said it before but it bears repeating:

It's quite obvious you've fallen from the AWESOME tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Way to go, Soldier. I look forward to watching it.

PM me on the 3rd, because I've got a real bad memory.

I'll be watching. I'm glad you reminded us. I totally missed it when on the Military Channel

Indeed!

Wait a minute..
Was this already aired on the Military Channel? (or part of it?)

I was watching something on this just a few weeks back and I kept saying "I think that's Malone!!!"
But then I thought, "yeah right, what are the odds really" and forgot about it.

Yeah, I'm in it. They would've been better off if they just edited my part out.

Dude, I don't see it. Checked all 3 discovery channels from now until the 3rd, at any time, and no combat zone. I checked the military channel, and there's two combat zone episodes, and both are in iraq, but not tal afar. What's up, fella? Don't see it.

Are you using the program guide on TV? Don't trust it. I was told by Vantage Point (the production studio) that the show would air in early Feb on the Military Channel (I think it was 12 Feb), and again on the Discovery Channel on 3 March. An old platoon mate of mine called me the weekend before the original air date to inform me that he got word it would be on schedule for that following Monday (12 Feb I think). I checked to program guide on TV and didn't see it listed until the following week (19 Feb), and concluded that he was mistaken. So I ended up not checking for it when it originally aired and I missed it.

Now I've been told (and the Discovery Channel web stie confirms this) that it will premier on 3 March at 9:00 ET. Again, checking the program guide on TV, I don't see it listed. It's not even consistent with what the program guide lists on the web site! But the link I posted above says otherwise.

I think the Military Channel and the Discovery Channel have problems with updating their scheduled programming on the satellite TV program guide, so I no longer trust what the TV program guide says.

Bottom line, even though you're not seeing it now, doesn't mean it won't air. Come Saturday night just pull up a chair, grab a nice hot cup of joe and enjoy the show.

Looking forward to it! 8)
