Changing Channels

Friday, July 1, 2005

As of today, KTGF (channel 12 cable, or channel 16 non-cable) is now a Fox affiliate, with some UPN programming thrown in, too. That’s cool, because we haven’t had a local Fox affiliate until now. The NBC affiliation has gone to newcomer KBGF…but I can’t seem to find it anywhere on the digital cable lineup yet. UPDATE: Found it – KBGF is broadcasting on cable-channel 6 (non-cable 50) under the name “Beartooth NBC.” Looks like the HQ for this station is actually in Helena, but there will be two reporters working here in Great Falls. Quite a few changes...

Trib Feature on Blogging

Monday, June 27, 2005

Just finished up an interview with Rich Ecke, a features writer for the Great Falls Tribune. Basic stuff: how did I get into blogging, why do I enjoy it, etc. Also discussed what makes Montana bloggers so special, how many Montana bloggers are there, and such.

One thing that has not changed, however, is the delivery of Fred Pfeiffer, chief meteorologist for KRTV. He seems like a nice guy, and he clearly loves Montana and his job.

“Starshine”

Saturday, May 28, 2005

I first noticed “Starshine” when her Letter To The Editor was published in the Great Falls Tribune back in January. Her letter protested George Bush and encouraged people to not purchase gasoline on a certain day. The odd thing is that the Tribune published her letter on two consecutive days. And now she’s been published again, this time praising Senator Baucus for his work in protecting the Rocky Mountain Front. My question: at what point in her life did she adopt the name “Starshine?” Or is it indeed her given name?
