Alright, people are trying to figure out when to set the DVR, tell the kids to record or watch, or whatever. So we wanted to take you through the weekend as it will break down on the air.

EDITOR’S UPDATE: For the full highlights of our PMC kickoff show, broadcast live on NECN and teamnecn.com,click here.

FRIDAY 8 p.m. – PMC KICKOFF SHOW

It all kicks off Friday evening, August 1. NECN will be live in Sturbridge for our annual telecast of the PMC Kickoff Show. The one-hour special is always a great event, and this year will be no exception. R.D. Sahl and Beth Shelburne will host. The night will feature great stories, musical guests Coby Brown and Jon Robert, more of those wonderful video essays by John Deputy, and more.

ABOUT THE MUSIC

Brookline, Mass. native and L.A.-based singer/songwriter Coby Brown was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma two years ago. While battling cancer and being treated at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, he wrote the album “Stars and Curses,” the album from which his music will come Friday night.

Boston-based singer/songwriter Jon Robert has performed with the likes of Sheryl Crow, John Mayer and James Blunt. His music has also been featured on MTV’s series “The Real World” and “The Hills”.

SATURDAY and SUNDAY – The Ride

While the riders are doing all the work, NECN will have regular updates from across Massachusetts throughout Saturday and Sunday, starting when the riders set off early Saturday morning, and following them on the routes right through until Sunday afternoon’s finish.

SUNDAY 7 p.m. – PMC WRAP-UP SHOW

And on Sunday, R.D. and Beth will be back to bring together two days of wonderful stories in what has become one of our favorite shows, the PMC Wrap-Up Show. We’ll bring together the many stories we have been gathering from Sturbridge to Provincetown over the course of the weekend, and bring them all to you.

It’s going to be another great weekend, and we look forward to bringing it to you.
