P O W E L L, W y o. - The Northwest College cable television channel is now available in Cody.
NWC-TV began transmitting Friday, Sept. 5, on channel 17 of the Bresnan cable system in Cody.
The new Cody channel will receive the same programming as that running on the Bresnan system on channel 21 in Powell and on channel 39 on the TCT West system in Big Horn and Washakie counties.

"It also brings the NWC programming to all of Park County with cable TV access."
The channels feature newscasts, weather forecasts and an events calendar as well as coverage of a variety of campus events such as speakers, interviews, graduation, music performances and sports. Programs are produced by students in the Northwest College webcasting practicum class.
