"A friend won some cool stuff on a recent KRCB auction. I want to participate! When is your next auction and how does an old computer-challenged guy get involved?

Thanks for your help.

Dear Viewer:

Thanks for your interest in the KRCB auction. Our next auction is just around the corner. It is our celebrated Wine and Epicurean Auction beginning at 6:30 pm on October 8, 9 and 10, and 15, 16 and 17. Believe it or not, even in this day of everything computer, you don't even have to own a computer to get involved in the bidding process. You just need to have a television and a phone! Of course, if you do want to place your bids on-line, that is available, too. Pre-bidding on-line, in the days preceding the live auction, is becoming more popular, as is bidding on-line during the live auction itself. Whatever way you choose to get involved with our auction, please know that we are profoundly grateful for your support. If you decide you wish to try bidding on-line, please give our auction department a call at (707) 584-2018 or (707) 584-2014 and they can brief you in more detail about the computer options. 

Best regards,

KRCB Staff

Dear KRCB:

I subscribe to Comcast Cable TV and can access Ch. 22 and no other KRCB channel, yet your tv listing (internet) shows other channels -- Ch. 22.1 and 22.2 DT2. How can I access them via Comcast? Their TV listing does not show these channels. Please help.

Thank you.

Viewer

Dear Viewer:

At this time, Comcast does not carry our over-the-air digital Channels 22.2 and 22.3. Only those viewers who receive our signal via antenna can access these. Channel 22.1 is the same as Channel 22 which Comcast and satellite subscribers can receive. Channel 22.2 is CreateTV, and Channel 22.3 is our FM radio broadcast.

Best regards,

KRCB Staff

Viewer asks:

Does Channel 22 come in in Berkeley when using my digital converter box? I have not been able to get it, but maybe my antenna is in the wrong position.

Dear Viewer:

We do have viewers from Berkeley who get us over the air, however their ability to get us depends on several factors, e.g., altitude, clear sight of Sonoma Mountain where our antenna is located, foliage obstructions. If you want to attempt to reposition your antenna and have a clear sight of Sonoma Mountain, be sure to "aim" it to the western side of the mountain (Petaluma, Old Adobe and Washington roads) rather than to the eastern (Sonoma) side. Best of luck.

Dear KRCB:

Are you still doing a paper schedule for TV and radio? If so, I would like to get it. I know mailing is an expense. Perhaps you could post a pdf of the schedule instead of the way you do it now, week by week with few descriptions.

Dear Viewer:

We are still producing a paper schedule of Open Air, our monthly programming guide, and would be happy to put you on a list to receive one. We stopped mailing it except by request in March. There is a pdf available online. If you go to the website, www.krcb.org, and look on the right hand side of the home page, you'll see "Open Air Online." The current month's Open Air is available for download if you click on the link. We put the next month up as soon as it is ready. Contact Joel Bellagio in membership if you'd like to continue to receive a paper copy, 707-584-2018.

There is also a slide in the slideshow at the top center of the home page which also has a link to the Open Air pdf page.

Thank you for your inquiry.
