The Hutchinson community is in for a musical treat when the Mount Carmel Trio performs in concert Saturday at Faith Lutheran Church in Hutchinson.

Clock ticking to the mandated coming of digital TV

May 13, 2008 - 4:56am — Terry Davis

If you are in the approximately 25 percent of Minnesotans still getting television program through a roof antenna connected to a television with an analog tuner, you could be looking at a blank screen on Feb. 18, 2009.

Congress has mandated Feb. 17, 2009, as last day for the full-power television stations to broadcast in analog. After that, over-the-air TV broadcasts will only be in digital.

'Speed Racer' disappoints at the box office

May 12, 2008 - 8:11am — Kay Johnson

We're only the second weekend into the summer movie season and already we have a disappointment.

The leap from popular TV cartoon to big screen movie doesn't guarantee box office gold as "Speed Racer" proved this weekend.

According to Box Office Mojo, "Iron Man" continued its grip on ticket sales ringing in another $50 million. "Speed Racer" came in second earning $20,210,000, barely sneaking past "What Happened in Vegas," with $20,000,000.
