The longest-running program of its kind on a PBS affiliate or regional or state network, it aired nightly for many years beginning in the late 1970s. It was reduced to its weekly slot in 2007 due to budget cuts. CAPITOL JOURNAL, which covered the Alabama Legislature's activities, succeeded FTR, but was cancelled when the Montgomery studio closed in July 2011.
