Saturday, Christmas Eve, we will begin our special Christmas programming by airing Handel's Messiah from 1-2 p.m. on both KDEM-FM and KOTS-AM.
Handel's Messiah, sponsored by La Fonda Restaurant in Deming, features a performance by the Independence Messiah Choir of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from their world headquarters in Independence, Missouri.
Then we will air Charles Dickens' classic, "A Christmas Carol," on both stations from 7-8 p.m. Saturday night – Christmas Eve.
The program is a complete uninterrupted rebroadcast of the 1939 Campbell's Playhouse Production produced and narrated by Orsen Wells and starring Lionel Barrymore as Scrooge. "A Christmas Carol" is sponsored by First New Mexico Bank.
Also, we will bring you sounds of the season – Christmas music accented by Christmas greetings and community "thank you's" sponsored by area merchants – on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
And from all of us at Luna County Broadcasting... we wish you a very Merry Christmas. And please, make it a safe holiday.
