It should be noted that although KNLC Channel 24 aired movies, they did not use any movie umbrella titles (in contrast to Channels 2, 4, 5, 9, 11 and 30) and ususally started the film at the exact time. Also, they showed a lot of religious-themed films, some as short as a half-hour.
Feel free to make any comments if you wish.

It should be noted that although KNLC Channel 24 aired movies, they did not use any movie umbrella titles (in contrast to Channels 2, 4, 5, 9, 11 and 30) and ususally started the film at the exact time. Also, they showed a lot of religious-themed films, some as short as a half-hour.
Feel free to make any comments if you wish.
