Mary sends an email suggesting that I should not have “Condemned” Time Warner Cable for taking WPTZ out of the lineup. I read her email on the air and responded by saying that I didn’t think I had condemned the cable company, but rather the new NBC Affiliate was reporting on stabbings and I recalled living outside of the Adirondacks and thinking that it is better not to have to report on those issues day in and day out. Afterwards, callers commented on WPTZ and cable rates. Enjoy..

Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau
If you’ve ever been on vacation, and perhaps somewhere that you’re not as familiar with as you might be with your own hometown, you may be able to relate to Gail Brill, who speaks to SaranacLake’s Village Board about being a Saranac Lake Ambassador..
