Lots new to watch and do as CHS starts another year Television. That is an activity that has drastically improved this year with many new stations such as KOIN, Showtime, and to help the TV watchers, the Coquille Valley Sentinel has published a TV Guide. Action, drama, comedy, romance, and news is all a part of television and the variety was widened with these two new channels. Coquille has never had a local TV Guide before. Other papers have had guides but never has one been printed by the hometown paper. The Sentinel thought it was about time that we had a guide. The Sentinel comes out once a week with the television guide as a benefit to its subscribers. Showtime, is also a new addition to television. Home Box Office was the original name when it first began, but soon changed the name to Showtime after Showtime bought out H.B.O. Teleprompter decided the people who bought cable TV should have an option whether to buy Showtime or not. The station shows mainly first-rate movies, some of them seen for the first time in Coquille. Students were asked to comment on how they like Showtime compared to the other television channels on TV. Craig Fry reported that the movies are better because they are more adult-oriented. Rene Pascu said that it as better than paying three bucks to see a movie. Jenny Short said that it sure beats Happy Days but she gets embarrassed seeing all those naked bodies. Joe Maeyaert indicated that there is much more excitement on Showtime than on other channels. 2 Introduction
