TUCSON (KOLD) - The city’s public-access cable station is temporarily closing its doors because of funding cuts.

Access Tucson says it is shutting down for four weeks between February 10th and March 9th …

¡OLE!

Okay, this is NOT TUCSON, and it is old, but this is how it is supposed to be done.

I missed this!  Argh!   NOT BAD!

NICE!

This guy has the right idea.

I am NOT Hispanic, but I love Mariachi.

Oops!  Missed this by two days.

Episode 60 - Part 1

They put up shows every few weeks or so - in 3 or 4 parts. I will put up part 1 - and you can click the Channel Link to see the other parts. Of course, when new shows come up, I will put Part 1 and a Channel Link up again.

This is their YouTube Channel page.

Their Videos will be displayed here from now on.

I got a nice letter from Paul Hilty - the chief director, producer, manager, and writer of the
show -  saying I could post their videos.

Feel free to leave your comments.  Don’t be obscene!

Wow.  A talent of sorts, I suppose.

From what I understand, they pulled the show from production in order to recast some characters.

DO NOT WORRY! The show is in English, even if the commercials are in Chinese.

Neat!
