Discovery Channel - more on KV63

Discovery are advertising a follow-up to their first KV63 feature: "Egypt's New Tomb: Opening the Coffin is the second program following the astonishing discoveries being made by archaeologist Dr. Otto Schaden in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. This special follows the on-going action as the excavation of KV 63 reaches its climax."
I've read it three times and failed to find a date for when it is being aired, although I know it MUST be there - I'm just having one of those days today! However, the KV63 website says that it is being aired in the USA on July 9, 2006, 9:00 -10:00 pm ET. See the above page for more about the programme.

There is a lovely photograph of one of the coffins at:
