(firmenpresse) - BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/26/11 -- ANTIQUES ROADSHOW® has done it again: mined America's attics, basements, parlors and pantries for treasures of record-setting proportions. The nine-time Emmy® Award nominated series, PBS's most-watched, premieres its sixteenth season in 2012, with a brand new lineup of appraisals totaling more than $8 million in value!
Hosted by Mark L. Walberg, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW launches its new season Monday, January 2 at 8/7C PM on PBS. Eighteen exciting new episodes were recorded in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Eugene, Oregon; El Paso, Texas; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Atlanta, Georgia; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Three brand new ANTIQUES ROADSHOW Special Editions: "Junk in the Trunk 2," "Cats & Dogs," and "Greatest Gifts" wrap up the season's offerings.
Here are more of ROADSHOW's for 2012:
The season premiere from Tulsa, Oklahoma boasts ROADSHOW's most valuable discovery ever: a collection of late 17th/early 18th-century Chinese carved rhinoceros horn cups valued at between $1 million and $1.5 million.
