KCTU HAPPENINGS

We've been fighting a war of sorts with some robot that has been leaving trackbacks for porn sites and other spam on all out posts.
The more I wiped them out, the more they came back.
Then, I had a brilliant idea--why not eliminate the trackbacks for a while?
Voilla...no more trackbacks.
So, spammers, in the immortal words of Dirty Harry, "Go ahead... make my day."

According to antennaweb.org, 101 people in our viewing area purchased antennas last week after having gone to their site and inquired as to what antenna would work best for watching KCTU.
That was after 79 people went to their site last week.
From all of us here at KCTU, thank you!

I had to laugh the other day when I heard a woman ask her grandson why he couldn't seem to observe common courtesies. It's because there's no such thing. People are becoming increasingly rude to each other, and it crosses every social, economic, and even generational line. People cut each other off in traffic, flip each other off, curse and swear at one another, and even fail to observe the most basic rules of etiquette.
When I was a teenager, my dad often chastised my brothers and me for treating each other poorly. He insisted that everyone in the household treat one another with courtesy. In my daily life, I try to treat everyone I encounter with the same basic courtesy that I expect to receive. Ordinarily, it's a pretty promising start. People respond well when treated kindly. It's more difficult to maintain an aggressive attitude if you're not met with aggression.
I just want to know; how hard can it be to preface a request with a "please" and an acknowledgement with a "thank you?" We correct our young children when they forget to say those things, but who corrects us?

We're shaking things up this week:
--At Home Live moves to 8 AM (the show has been out of production since January, so it's not really live);
--We've finally found a source for morning movies, something a lot of you have asked for since UATV went under, which will run from 9-11 AM;
--Money TV returns to its 5:30 PM slot;
--Growing Pains is being replaced by Amen at 6 PM and Alice at 6:30;
--At 9 PM, we'll have two episodes of The Wonder Years;
--At 10, we're once again proud to be one of the few television stations around that brings you two national newscasts from two different sources: INN News at 10, utilizing the resources of Fox News Channel, followed by ANN News, which draws from the worldwide bureaus of Reuters, at 10:30.
