News for Wednesday, October 22nd, 2014

• Correction notice from the author: This past Tuesday's (October 21st) report about WALA-TV and the syndicated TV game show "Wheel of Fortune" was corrected upon my realizing the FOX Broadcasting Company had no special live network programming planned for this Thursday, October 23rd, during WALA-TV's regular time period for broadcasting new editions of "Wheel of Fortune" from Monday through Friday (6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.) and that WALA-TV would not have the edition of "Wheel of Fortune" to be provided this Thursday broadcast later the next day between 3:30 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. (according to Comcast and TitanTV's guides to WALA-TV's programming) since they would be able to have it broadcast during their regular time period for broadcasting its new editions that day.  

• According to the official World Wide Web site for Alabama Public Radio, they no longer have any plans for broadcasting programming from the Jazz Satellite Network through one of their HD Radio programming feeds (feed #3), specifically the one normally used for broadcasting programming from the BBC World Service (the last time the channel was set to have programming from the network was back on the Tuesday of September 30th during the current calendar year, according to the site).

• Today's broadcast of Mississippi Public Broadcasting's radio program dedicated to technology news and advice ("Everyday Tech") did not have any telephone calls from members of its audience today due to the telephone number for them to join the program being reserved for Mississippi Public Broadcasting's pledge drive today (note: parts of southwest Alabama are within the broadcast area of the station relaying Mississippi Public Broadcasting's radio programming to the radio market for Biloxi, Mississippi at 90.3 megacycles: WMAH-FM.)
