Happy Holidays

guide. My brother, Brad, is currently serving in Afghanistan. He is an Air Force Captain and a Meteorologist.<br><br> Two weather people in the family. More importantly, he is a husband and a father. I was able to track down more than 100 listings for Armed Forces Network; all times are local Afghanistan time.<br><br> I wanted to include them in this year f s guide for him and the men and women serving with him. I f d like to send a heartfelt thanks to Kim Connolly from WPXI-TV and Eileen Boucek from WTVO-TV. They both go above and beyond in making sure I have last- minute changes and updates from a few of the networks.<br><br> Ladies 3 thank you so much for allowing me to constantly bug you each year. I hope this program guide helps you find a little extra joy during the holiday season. Although time consuming, I know I love putting it together.<br><br> Enjoy the holidays!
