Ah, cool. In terms of non-cable tv, I think PBS is the only one that shows documentaries at all, at least around here. I watch Frontline every time I remember that it's on. I've seen a few you've seen, including the Big Box (Walmart) one, which was excellent imo. Before the election they aired one featuring the two main candidates in a chronological biography style.
PBS is arguably the most in-depth coverage of the day to day news (The News Hour with Jim Lehrer), especially compared to the other non-cable networks. This means it can be off-putting, when they're talking over your head about something you know nothing about, but they do an hour of national news, generally with 3 different long segments of debates about a single subject between experts. The result is you generally gain about 15 minutes of content on whichever three subjects they pick, thereby learning a lot more.
