“MacHEADS” will also be airing on CNBC on January 5th, 2010

If recent CNBC listings are anything to go by, someone in their programming department got wind that there is set to be an exciting new Apple product announced next month. Hot on the heels of news about CNBC’s planned airing of the Welcome to Macintosh documentary on January 4th comes word that that the 60 minute documentary MacHEADS will air a day later on January 5th, 2010 at 10PM ET.

Like Welcome to Macintosh, this isn’t a documentary I’ve seen yet, but the official site describes the documentary as an exploration of “the loyalty of Apple fanatics and their obsession with the company and its products. The documentary takes an in-depth examination of just what makes the Mac, the iPhone, and Apple’s other products seem like cultural phenomena rather than just consumer electronics.”

If you don’t have a Tivo or have pressing engagements on January 5th, it will also be airing on January 6th at 1AM ET, January 7th at 9PM ET, January 8th at 12AM ET, January 9th at 7PM ET and January 10th at 10PM ET. CNBC’s getting a lot of mileage out of this one.

    And they’ll be running another one about the iPhone on the 7th. “Planet of the Apps: A Handheld Revolution!”. http://www.tuaw.com/2009/12/28/cnbc-to-air-planet-of-the-apps/

    I’ve seen this and it’s a bit “meh” to be honest.

    Honestly, I think MacHEADS is the superior of the two movies.

    After watching Macheads and Welcome to Macintosh I can understand why Steve Jobs didn’t want to be in either one. These films are mediocre at best.
