NOTES
I have a tape with KIMA programming on it from this evening. Last few minutes of the 60 Minutes broadcast, all of "Arthur," the CBS Sunday Night News, Entertainment Tonight and the sign-off, complete with national anthem and the transmitter shut off. Interesting footage from that tape, lots of local ads.
