For the most part, it has been pretty consistent up until a couple months ago when the network sold our half-hour spot on Saturdays to another programmer and moved our Tuesday showing from 3:30 to 4:00 p.m. Central Time. Sorry we didn't let you know beforehand. We didn't learn about the change until it had already happened. Remember, you can always watch any of our programs, free of charge, on our YouTube channel, https://www. youtube.com/ruralheritage. We add to our list of over 300 episodes every week. • • • • A s always, thank you for reading, subscribing and watching. We are thank ful for each of you. —jm
