Loyal viewers of WCG-TV Rivers Channel 12 will know that Brandon’s Super League curling games are aired every Wednesday evening at 8:30 p.m. That league ended for another season on Jan. 25 (be sure to tune in again next October for the 2015-16 season), but curling is not yet completed. Our fibre connection with the head office in Brandon allows us to air live coverage of this year’s Safeway Championship Curling (as well as many other live events). Those who subscribe to television services in Rivers through Westman Communications Group will be able to watch some great curling from the comfort of their own home!
The championship is played Feb. 4-7 and will feature live content during the day and replays of the entire game later that evening. Save this column or write the times in your calendar so you don’t forget when to tune in!
Wednesday and Thursday (Feb. 4 and 5) the action begins at 12:15 p.m. and again at 4 p.m.; those games will re-air at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. Friday will have live game show times at 12:15 p.m. and 4 p.m. with a replay of the noon game at 10:30 p.m. The replay is shown later because of our agreement with Shaw in that we must show the live Western Hockey League game (Spokane vs. Moose Jaw) at 7 p.m. Safeway curling resumes Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.; replays of those games will air at 6 and 9 p.m.
Because of our connection to Brandon, other regular programming includes CKLQ’s Feedback radio show (yes, shown on Channel 12 so you can watch host Bill Turner and his guest), an assortment of art and sport programming at various days and times, and plenty of religious programming on Sunday. Feedback is aired weekdays from 9-10 a.m. Sunday morning (10 a.m.) is typically a video of our local Zion Church service from the week before, and from 1:30-6 p.m. are three church services from Brandon (Baptist, Anglican and United). Every Sunday night at 6 p.m. is the half-hour Tabernacle Choir show, and usually every Sunday evening at 7 p.m. is a replay of the Zion Church service.
