King have recorded an one hour long interview that will air on August 2 on all five channels of Maine PBS (seems you'll only be able to see it if you live in Maine though). Here is the info about it:Author Stephen King can be seen giving a rare television interview in his home state on the Maine PBS program "A Good Read" on Aug. 2.
The hourlong interview, conducted by host Sandy Phippen, will air at 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. It will be re-broadcast several times: 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. Aug. 6; 10 p.m. Aug. 9; 8:30 p.m. Aug. 13; 7:30 p.m. Aug. 14; and 10 a.m. Aug. 15.
The interview has already been conducted and filmed. To see a video clip from the interview, go online at www.mainepbs.org.
King, who lives in Bangor, talked in the interview about his decision to leave fantasy and horror behind for other kinds of writing. He said that he's working on a musical project with John Mellencamp, in which he will write the script and Mellencamp the music.
"I've done all the major monsters that I ever really wanted to deal with," King told Phippen. "I've said a lot of what I have to say (and) I see myself going back repeating theme formats and places I've been before."King also reveals character developments in his ongoing "Dark Tower" series and speaks of struggles he's had writing a book on writing.
The King interview will be aired on all five channels of Maine PBS: WMEA (Channel 26) in Biddeford; WCBB (Channel 10) in Augusta/Portland; WMEB (Channel 12) in Orono; WMED (Channel 13) in Calais; and WMEM (Channel 10) in Presque Isle.
