Update: The Charter studio manager informed me that the company is changing servers in addition to upgrading equipment this entire week, so although he made our show a priority to rerun Monday evening, and had it loaded in the machine to make sure it aired, the new server was unable to broadcast our program and any others as they made necessary changes. Due to this activity at Charter, no new shows could be taped, so this interview will air one last time tonight, November 12th, 2015 in its usual time, 7PM on Charter Cable Channel 191 and is still available to see on-line for those outside the viewing area or who are satellite subscribers.
