Yes, The First 48 returns to Birmingham tonight

The First 48 logoThe increased amount of searches of the site gave us a good idea that the A&E TV series The First 48 will bring viewers back to Birmingham, AL for tonight’s episode. A reminder was sent out to fans yesterday via Twitter complete with a show description:

“In Birmingham, Detective Chris Anderson returns to his childhood neighborhood to investigate the murder of a man killed over ten pounds of marijuana.”

The first episode aired last February after there was disagreement over whether to allow the popular reality series to film here. Don’t worry if you miss tonight’s episode at 8 p.m. – it’ll air again later on tonight (and whenever they feel like letting it).

Birmingham’s first The First 48 episode premieres tonight

Some of you may remember way back when Mayor Kincaid said that the Birmingham Police Department was not going to participate in the upcoming season of the popular A&E series The First 48, as brought up in a recent Black & White article. Well, tonight Birmingham will appear on the cable television series along with Tuscon, AZ beginning at 8 p.m. If you check out the episode, let us know what you think about it by adding to this posts comments below. And don’t worry, if you don’t get a chance to see this episode, there will be three other ones aired during the season, although we’re not quite sure when they’ll all air by… Or you can find out a little more about the detectives taking part in the filiming before you watch over at al.com.
