NAVY SEALS:
THEIR UNTOLD STORY
Tuesday, Nov. 11 at 8pm
Volume 28
Number 11
GENERAL MANAGER MESSAGE
Election Day is here! And if you
didn’t have an opportunity earlier,
you can still watch the Wyoming PBS
October general election debates
before you vote on November 4 - just
go online, www.wyomingpbs.org to see
the ones you may have missed. Other
commemorative events this month
include “Veterans’ Day” and “Native
American Heritage Month” - Wyoming
PBS will be marking both those events
with many special programs – see page
15 for a complete listing.
The news that effects all of us is that Charter Communications
has recently changed their cable channel line-ups, including where
they have located Wyoming PBS, on many of their cable systems. Of
course you should have received a notice from Charter about all the
channel changes, but in the event you are still looking for Wyoming
PBS, here is a quick overview of where to find our HD signal: on
Channel 506 in Casper; on Channel 510 in Riverton, Thermopolis,
Worland; on Channel 512 in Jackson, Laramie, Buffalo, Gillette,
Greybull, Powell; and on Channel 513 in Sheridan and Cody. No
matter what, you will need an HD-capable, cable box to pick up the
all-digital channels from Charter. If you haven’t gotten your box, you’ll
need to call Charter and order one, get it hooked up, and then have
the box “authorized” by Charter through a phone call. Ultimately all
these changes will greatly improve the quality of your program service,
but we agree - it is inconvenient and a bit time-consuming.
We had so many calls regarding the series “The Roosevelts”,
produced by Ken Burns, that we have decided to repeat the entire
series, starting on Sunday, December 14, at 4 pm, and then every
Sunday at 2 pm, until it concludes in early January. Two episodes will
air the first day, and then the other 5 episodes will air on consecutive
Sundays. If you missed parts of it, here is another chance to see the
stories of three incredible, heroic people – Teddy, Franklin and Eleanor
Roosevelt.
We are grateful for many things in this great state, but we never
forget how thankful we are to have you, our members and supporters.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Underwriter Spotlight
Homestead Assisted Living
Homestead Assisted Living in Riverton underwrites The Lawrence Welk Show, which is
broadcast Saturday evenings on Wyoming PBS. Why Lawrence Welk? Because it’s a favorite of the
residents at Homestead – and surely at many other assisted living facilities around Wyoming – and it’s
important to the Homestead caregivers that their residents get to “enjoy the show.”
Homestead is one of two senior housing alternatives that the REACH Foundation operates at the
REACH West development. Homestead became a Wyoming State Health Department Assisted Living
facility in March, 2009, and they provide living accommodations, 24-hour assistance, medication
monitoring, three meals a day plus snacks, and scheduled
activities. Additional amenities include an aviary, fish tank,
beauty shop, and exercise room.
To find out more, visit the Homestead Assisted Living
web site, www.reachwyoming.com/homestead.htm, give
them a call at 307.856.5789, or stop by the facility at 950
Homestead Avenue in Riverton. And if you are a fan or know
someone who is a fan of The Lawrence Welk Show, let
the people at Homestead know how much you appreciate
their support of Wyoming PBS.
