All of Wyoming

A new television service with no connection to casinos or mafia. Look for launch in January 2008 on Bresnan Cheyenne and Casper cable systems.

The latest update on this is, forget the launch. It seems that no one in Wyoming is willing to support any non-mineral industry.  If I could find a way for news reporters dig for coal on the swing shift, it might work.
 
My stack of betacam and other HD television gear is going with me to Hollywood (that's Hollywood, South Carolina). At least they have some sophistication when it comes to modern technology.

Anyway you can look at my Wyoming photos at http://allofWyoming.net

And get HD video clips and stills at http://allofWyoming.TV

Trouble in Casino Land

I went to Reno Nevada this weekend (January 15, 2007) to meet up with my brother and mom, staying at the J A Nugget in Sparks, a place where my Grandpa Leo would gamble a few cartwheels 50 years ago. The buzz was that recently appointed (May 2004) chancellor of the University had suddenly issued a two word message to the Board of Regents that weekend, "I quit".This is the same Jim Rogers that is owner of Sunbelt Communications and TV13 in Casper Wyoming.<< MORE >>

Television translators

Many home and cable systems in Wyoming got their over-air television by way of translators. These stations would receive the "mother" and rebroadcast on another channel. Being located on mountain tops, they extended the television coverage area tremendously. << MORE >>
