Don't Touch That Dial

For those of you who frequent channel 14 on Time Warner Cable, you have probably stumbled accross "Reel Movie Talk with Matt & Paul". What you may not realize is that the show is building quite a following. Both hosts have become mini-celebrities in town while comments are pouring in like never before. Not only have people asked when the next installment is on but how they can get involved. And that is the best thing about this show in my mind. People want to be a part, because it looks fun and they have ideas to make it better. Cable Access is provided to give citizens an avenue to express themselves over a limited media outlet. It also provides for a social community gathering place to get together, share ideas, and make Menomonee Falls a better community. So if you're looking for a creative outlet, look no further than your cable box and call us today. Join the fun at 252-2866.
