55 years ago, we at Fisher are delighted to now bring another
channel of free television entertainment to the region with
MyNetworkTV on KXPI," said Regional Vice President Larry
Roberts.
"In addition to the MyNetworkTV prime programming including 'WWE
Friday Night SmackDown' and 'Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?,'
KXPI will carry a strong programming lineup with premiere
syndicated shows such as 'Dr. Oz' and 'Two and Half Men' as well as
