The Votes Are In! KCET Announces Huell Howser Fan Favorite Poll Results

Burbank, Calif. - Dec. 19, 2013 - KCET, the nations largest independent public television station serving Southern and Central California, announced the results from its Huell Howser Fan Favorite poll. Fans went to kcet.org/huellvote and voted on five of their favorite Huell Howser episodes from the top 50 shows from Visiting... and Californias Gold series. The most popular shows will be presented as a special tribute that includes a Huell Howser marathon airing on KCET Sunday, Jan. 5 from 7 p.m.-12 a.m. and each weekday, thereafter, during Huell Howsers regularly scheduled time at 7:30 p.m.

Huell Howser is a legendary television personality who shared a special relationship with his viewers, said Mary Mazur, Chief Operating Officer for KCETLink. On the one year mark since his passing, KCET thought it appropriate to ask his fans to help celebrate his life and work by selecting their favorite shows for our special marathon. We would like to thank Chapman University for helping us commemorate Huells legacy by allowing us to present some of these very special episodes.

As the beneficiary of Huell Howsers legacy, Chapman University is delighted to partner with KCET in presenting these fan favorite episodes, said Sheryl Bourgeois, the Universitys Executive Vice President for University Advancement. Huell forged a unique friendship with Chapman and donated his lifes work -- including all his Californias Gold television shows -- to be housed in perpetuity at the university, because he wanted the episodes to be available to all. He truly believed that Californias real gold is its people.
