New and improved free  TV is a great way to stretch
your household budget
As the challenging economy continues to put the squeeze on our household budgets, some may be surprised to learn
that there s one cost-saving measure that s been sitting in their living rooms for years: the television set.
Today, thanks to advances in digital broadcasting technology, there are more TV channels available than ever before,
and they are all free to anyone with a relatively inexpensive antenna.
Superior California public television station KIXE, which has been broadcasting top-flight programs like Masterpiece
Theatre, Antiques Roadshow and Nature for years, is a good example.
After making the switch to digital broadcasting last summer, KIXE now offers its traditional PBS lineup on Channel 9.1
and a popular new lineup on Channel 9.2 called CREATE, which is packed with cooking, crafts, travel and how-to
shows. As an added bonus, KIXE broadcasts a full lineup of PBS programs in high-definition on Channel 9.1.
With a few simple adjustments and sometimes a few minor purchases digital broadcasting allows most viewers to
cancel their cable or satellite provider bills and still be able to watch ABC, CBS, CREATE, CW, Fox, NBC, PBS, UPN and
Accuweather. As technology advances this list will expand and change.
As Myron Tisdel, president and general manager of KIXE, notes, you may find you can save a few dollars each month,
watch better quality television and have enough money left over to become a supporter of your favorite public television
station  KIXE. After all, a $40, $60 or $100 annual contribution to KIXE is so much cheaper than paying the same
amount each month to a cable or satellite television provider.
