Friday, February 3 – We're back and up and running after the January 23 water main break in our building! As of today, we're still on generator power and there's lots of work still to be done, but we're ready to bring you the final two home games of this Middie basketball season and more!

On January 22, 2012, the Middletown High School Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was held at Miami University Middletown. We've had many calls about this one. The ceremony will be cablecast on Thursday, February 9 at 8 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. and on Friday, February 10 at 4 p.m. It will also be available on our video on demand site Thursday evening at 8 p.m.

Live coverage of this week's Middletown City Council business meeting will be cablecast at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 7. The meeting will also air at 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday and at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Wednesday, February 8, and at 9 a.m. on Thursday and Friday, February 9 and 10. It will also be available on our video on demand site on Wednesday, February 8.

The Middletown Middies take on the Sycamore Aviators tonight, Friday, February 3 at 7:30 p.m. at Wade E. Miller Gym. Because our gear is still recovering from the water main break, this will be a one-person shoot and will need basic editing, so it won't be airing until Monday, February 6 at 7 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. It will also be available on our video on demand site on early next week. Enjoy!

The Middies will face the Princeton Vikings on Tuesday, February 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the last home game of the regular season. We'll be airing that game on Wednesday, February 8 at 7 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. and on Thursday, February 9 at 3 p.m. It will also be available on our video on demand site later next week.

Tonight – February 3 – at 8 p.m. on Stage and Screen, we'll bring you 6 episodes from the Bulldog Drummond series, stories about a British World War I veteran who, tired of the humdrum civilian life, becomes a private eye and gets more excitement than he bargained for. Two more Hollywood mysteries round out the evening. For titles and times, see below. Enjoy!

Next Friday – February 10 – at 8 p.m. on Stage and Screen, please join us for Blacks on the Silver Screen. Few people realize that in the pre-civil-rights era, Black moviegoers had theaters where they could see Black actors in leading roles. True, these were not high budget flicks, but real talent can shine through even when the budget is minuscule. Some of the stars in next week's six films include Lena Horne, Louis Jordan and Nat King Cole. We hope you'll enjoy this special Black History Month presentation.

That's it for now – we'll be back next week with more news.
