Tuning into LTV – New Broadcasting Season Begins
As indicated last week – LTV is scheduled to begin its new broadcasting season on Wednesday, 13th Nov. at 9.30 pm (LTV Macroom area) and on Thursday, 14th Nov. at 10.00 pm (LTV2 Millstreet). Due to the dedication and skill of LTV Founder, Dan Joe Kelleher and with the kind cooperation of a number of local Millstreet people a wider and clearer reception will now be received in the Millstreet, Duhallow and Sliabh Luachra areas also extending into the Gneeveguilla and some areas of Rathmore. To receive reception one needs to retune analogue settings (available in menu “settings”). When scanning is complete one will now have the new channel – either UHF Channel 30 or UHF Channel 35 (or both in certain areas of Millstreet). All this depends on how strong the signal is in any given area. The UHF Channel 30 signal comes from the Carriganima direction whereas the UHF Channel 35 signal comes from the western side of Millstreet Town. This is now saved and is presently transmitting the EWTN (Religious) Channel. It will soon show promotions for the new LTV Season and will change to LTV1 and LTV2 on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at the designated broadcast times. LTV 2 will also, due to the dedication and skill of Bernard Crowley, be available on www.millstreet.ie. Happy viewing! (S.R.)
