___it has been a long time since i have been here but i guess we are back in operation, the delay in Producing new shows was due to mechanical equipment problems in our studio which of course is at Public Access, soon to come is Hot Town with a show already in the can in which Norma interviews Jerry Thompson the prolific history professor from TAMIU about a book he wrote recently, we also have some material on the matachintes, el martin nixon game, quite possibly the last one to have meaning in the District standing and some on the Band, the nixon band of course

___long time delayed

___it has been a long month and i apologize for not updating this site, now that the Month of the Latino is passed and as we prepared for another Dia de la Raza, it is time to get moving again with several exciting projects, first of all we continue with Hot Town and Radio Tejano but we did have to put a stop to Sportstown due to the fact that we simply could not keep up with the demand of devoting so much time to the taping and the work needed to do such a show. Hot Town is at show number 40 while Radio Tejano has 12 small segments under it's belt. Plans are in the works to do several specials on individuals who were influential in creating our musica tejana, relatives of both David Curiel and Beto Villa have been contacted and they help us created an homage program for these two fine and creative gentelmen, both gone to a better world. More details as they become available.
