The times they are a-changing...

Heading into the Labor Day Weekend, there are some changes to announce...

But first, don't miss last weeks episode of MASTERPIECE MYSTERY with INSPECTOR LEWIS: COUNTERCULTURE BLUES...we rescheduled this show due to our membership drive on Sunday the 29th...had lots of calls urging me to make it available, and this Sunday afternoon at 3pm was the best place. Now viewers can keep up with the series uninterrupted, which continues with the second installment this Sunday night at 8...

Monday morning starts our new daytime schedule aimed specifically at the kids. PBS's newest show for the little ones, THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS ALOT ABOUT THAT, joins our revamped lineup that provides quality educational television from 6am till 5pm...making KACV the safe place for children of all ages, all over the panhandle, all day long. Our how-to shows are moving to the weekends, so you Katie Brown and Bob Ross fans won't miss out. The schedule change will help KACV maintain a smooth workflow throughout the day, and be more cost effective to the overall operation. Some say change is hard...we think this is good.
