RP&L Weather Channel on WCTV

Some of you already know that we have been working closely with RP&L in moving their Weather Channel service to fill open time in the Channel 11 schedule. Both organizations feel that this is an important public service that our community needs and desires.

Although this service is not officially launching, because of approaching severe weather we are inviting you to watch the “soft launch” tonight to follow current conditions, scheduled alongside this evening’s regular programming (including the live Sanitary Board of Commissioners meeting).

More information on this partnership will be forthcoming.
