It's Time to Make
the Switch!!
Due to
equipment problems, ETPtv is currently unable to
broadcast an analog signal on WKOP, channel 15. Given
the expenses involved, we are unsure if it will be
possible to return the analog transmitter to service
before the federally mandated DTV transition date of
Feb. 19, 2009. ETPtv sincerely regrets any inconvenience
this may cause viewers who rely on over-the-air
transmission. If you can no longer receive WKOP, channel
15, please call our signal hotline at 1.800.595.0220
ext. 239 and we will provide you with all the
information you need to restore WKOP programming on your
set.
ETPtv is already broadcasting two digital channels
that are available to you right now. There are several
ways that you can access this signal anytime you wish.
The simplest and most effective is through the use of a
converter box that is available for purchase at most
electronics retailers right now. It connects right to
your set and allows you to receive multiple channels
from ETPtv as well as from most other broadcasters in this area. Even better, the federal government will help
with most of the costs of the converter box through a
coupon program. To find a retailer carrying converter
boxes near you or to sign up for the government coupon
program, use the links below.

Wide Angle
Japan's About Face
Tuesday, July 8 @ 9:00pm
With exclusive access to Japan's "West Point" –
the National Defense Academy – "Wide Angle"
captures a remarkable window into the shifting
role of the military in post-war Japanese
society. Ever since World War II, Japan's
American-authored, pacifist constitution has
mandated a strictly defensive military force.
But the line between defense and offense has
blurred in recent years, as Japan looks over its
shoulder at North Korea's nuclear ballistic
missiles and China's growing military and
economic strength. Today, Japan's $40 billion
military budget is the fifth largest in the
world. |

Nature
The Good, the Bad, and the Grizzly
Sunday, July 20 @ 8:00 p.m.
After a decades-long comeback, the grizzly bears
of Yellowstone National Park appear to be
thriving. Should they now be removed from the
protection of the Endangered Species Act? This
question has provoked one of the most
emotionally charged wildlife controversies in
America today. In the mid-20th century,
Yellowstone’s grizzlies had been reduced to a
relatively small number of bears that had
stopped hunting and were living on trash
intentionally left by the park’s attendants. In
1972, park officials reversed their policy, and
the garbage dumps were closed. Today, after 30
years of protection under the Endangered Species
Act, grizzlies have learned to hunt once again,
and have made a resounding return, with an
estimated 600 thriving in the 17,000 square
miles that comprise the Greater Yellowstone
area. |
