Think Green 38

Here is episode 38 of “Think Green,” aired on KACN-Television the first week of September, 2011.

KACN is Now in Girdwood on GCI Channel 95!

We are pleased to announce that as of today, KACN is being broadcast in Girdwood, Alaska.

In the spring of 2010, GCI Cable signed an agreement to buy Eyecom Inc.’s Girdwood cable television business.  This summer, GCI went hard to work replacing the old analog cable distribution system with more modern digital cable systems.

This has allowed GCI Cable to greatly expand the television stations offered in Girdwood.

As a result, as of today, September 14th, 2011, KACN Television is available in one more Alaskan Community, Girdwood!

KACN Television welcomes Girdwood to our growing community!

The film tells the unique story of each business and addresses questions business owners should know about energy efficiency.
