NCCCA to hold first Federal Building event
PLATTSBURGH — The first musical performance to take place in the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts's newly acquired Federal Building is the Mana Saxophone Quartet.
The concert — featuring everything from contemporary to tango music — is at 7 tonight in the arts building at 30 Brinkerhoff St., Plattsburgh.
The community room designed for such events is still under renovation, said Executive Director Susan Daul, so the performance will take place in the gallery.
"This leads our concert series for the year. We have a pretty steady following."
Tickets are $20 for general admission and $15 for members. For information, call 563-1604.
NCPR boosting signal to Tupper Lake area
TUPPER LAKE — North Country Public Radio has signed on a new, more powerful transmitter to serve listeners in Tupper Lake and southern Franklin County.
The new station, at 88.3 FM, will bring a stronger, clearer signal to Tupper Lake and the surrounding region.
Currently, NCPR also operates a low-power 10-watt station for Tupper Lake at 91.7.
"Our new 110-watt station at 88.3 will mean better reception for listeners across a wider area," NCPR Chief Engineer Bob Sauter said in a news release.
"Eventually, we will turn off the old 91.7 signal, so we encourage our Tupper Lake area listeners to get in the habit now of tuning to our new station at 88.3."
Funding for the new facility came from a grant from the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program for public broadcasters, administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, and from North Country Public Radio listeners.
