Cablevision recently announced that starting Oct 1, HSNOI will also air simultaneously on its Oakland and Bergen systems as well as the Morris system where it has been aired for something like 20 years. On the Oakland system it will air on channel 76 and in Bergen it will run on channel 77. Also starting in October each mini-DV tape submitted for airing will have to be accompanied by form filled out with the relevant information... kind of a pain in the butt, but what the heck.
We didn't tape any shows in August.

The group's first album debuted at #2 on iTunes World Music Top Albums.
