On the Air

Chicago’s Lifeline, an award-winning Discovery Health Channel series that chronicles life-and-death stories at the University of Chicago Hospitals, began another season of broadcasts on Sunday, Aug. 1. The six-part series will continue on Sundays at 9 p.m. (central time) and will be rebroadcast at midnight (central time) as well as shown again the following Saturday at 4 p.m. (central time). This unscripted human drama, which profiles patients, staff and University physicians, earned a prestigious Freddy Award from the American Medical Association for “best medical reality series” during its inaugural season in 2000.
