REMINDER:   Our in-house news channel (formerly known as Channel 33) is now located on Channel 117.   Or, if your TV has a Comcast digital box, you will find KGC news on Channel 795.   All items to be put on this channel should be addressed to cablenews@kgc.cc, left on the clip at 183 Princess Ave., or you may call me with items.  
      Also, a new clipboard, located on the door to the sound room next to the stage, will be used for messages.   It will be checked once a day by the Cablenews operator and any messages left there will be put up at that time.   By using the new e-mail address or the clip on the Sound Room door, any one of our operators can take over for vacations, or emergencies, without a disruption of service.
      I know it is very hard to make changes, and we may always be known as Channel 33, but because of the use of two channels, we are now known as Cablenews.   Please feel free to call me with any questions.       ---Barbara Amatrudo, 484-0465
