Many of you watch our syndicated programming, most of which is taken from the Galaxy 23 spacecraft with a 12-foot dish here at our studios. You have no doubt noticed a degradation in picture quality and at times the picture simply disappears completely.
We have determined that the problem is apparently caused from mulitple sources. First, let me share with you part of an internal email sent to affiliates from one of our programming sources:
In this edition first aired June 30, 2010, Patti and Nancy fix one of their favorite OBX dishes - Cincinatti Chilli and one of Patti's sister's favorite family desserts - Ice Cream Cake.
I think I may have been caught almost speechless... and that's for me is not an easy thing to do!
Appalachian Power sent out a press release today that said they were asking the State Corporation Commission to reduce the rates for everybody. 8% on average and 7% for residents. That means if you're average electric bill is 100 dollars a month, it will drop to 93 dollars.
They noted they haven't done something like this since the 1970's. I'm glad they pointed it
Wednesday morning on the Coffee Break I talked about the upcoming fight for the fifth. Afterall, at his victory party Tuesday night the Republican Party winner, State Senator Robert Hurt, told the crowd that he had a message for his opponent, U.S. Representative Tom Perriello... that the war starts here and starts now.
WAR... daggone... and I've been referring to this thing as a friendly fight between political adversaries. Looks like Hurt is taking this thing seriously.
