2 GENERAL MANAGER MESSAGE By December 1, I ll have traveled about 2000 miles across the state talking with people about WyomingPBS. Everywhere I go people ask the same question, Why can t I get WyomingPBS on my satellite service? Only in a corridor stretching from Casper to Riverton and Lander can you get WyomingPBS on satellite. Everywhere else in the state, you get an out of state station. The technical reason is that the satellite services receive sites, where they collect the signals to send to you, are out of state. Billings, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Idaho City are all receive sites. And our signals don t reach that far. However, the underlying reason is - they don t have to. Unlike cable companies, who are required to carry local PBS stations, satellite services have no such requirement. We hope this may soon change. Thanks to the comments, petitions, and state Legislative resolutions nationwide, the FCC has revised the rules. A new policy, awaiting Office of Management and Budget approval, may get us on in the Cheyenne area. Other parts of the state remain a problem, but we continue looking for solutions. Still, there are ways for satellite subscribers to enjoy WyomingPBS programs. One is to try a simple indoor digital antenna. Unlike the old rabbit ears, these antennas pick up the digital signals broadcast by local TV stations. Best of all, the picture is far better than cable, often breathtaking in its quality. Not everyone is in a location to pick up one of our 32 transmitters, so save your receipt! Online is the other way to watch WyomingPBS productions. Visit wyomingpbs.org and click on Watch. All of our local shows are available online within a day of broadcast. Some are even available online before we air them! You can watch them on your computer, laptop, and mobile device. You can watch them on your TV using Roku, Chromecast, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, and even Xbox. For details, visit wyomingpbs.org/anywhere. As always, thank you for watching and thank you for supporting WyomingPBS.
