Kearney TV Station Nearly Back To Normal

NTV Logo, courtesy of KHGIKearney TV station KHGI is back at full power, with most of its equipment up and working again, according to Sara Linner, Executive Producer of New Media for NTV.

"We're still missing some acoustical ceiling tiles that were destroyed by water damage," Linner said. "We're getting by though, and just keep chugging along."

Linner said it appears the station's tape archive did not sustain water damage. More than 50 holes were punched through the roof of the station by chunks of ice that fell from the station's broadcasting tower.

An estimated 3,500 customers in rural central Nebraska remain without electricity two weeks after a New Year's weekend ice storm.

Well that is good to hear. Does anyone know how well KHGI does in ratings compared to KLKN given they both are ABC.

A while back I heard the KHGI would be carried on TWC has it fell through.

This is the curse of Bob Geiger. They sent him packing with a $8.49 Armitron wristwatch for his 30 years of service, and gave him a ham sandwich to retire with. I miss you, Bob.

The Bob Geiger curse...I never thought of that but it definitely makes sense and explains why the ice was crashing through the roof.

Geiger was a fuckin' hack and a moron. He was a known dumpster diver at McDonalds after hours and world is better that he is gone
