PROGRAM: Lion Bryan Self introduced Mr. Darrell ReBouche’, Managing Editor for
KTAL-TV (Channel 6). Darrell and Claire have been married for over 17 years and they
have two children. Darrell gave an update to the progression of
improvement of services at KTAL. New
ownership arrived about 3 and half years ago.
They noticed lots of needs for improvements from the transmitter to the
delivery of the services and the need for better employee work areas. The difference is noticeable and Darrell and the KTAL team are asking the community to
give them a chance – please watch KTAL. Try them for a week and see how they
are doing. By the way Lion Gore was the basketball coach for KTAL’s Anchor Lane Stone – it is a small world.
