local Around town Station looking for program ideas KAMU-TV Channel 15 has a new program entitled “On Our Way” that will focus on teenagers, their concerns and their activities. The program will comprise several half-hour segments and a final one-hour special, all of which will spotlight local teens and issues affecting them. “On Our Way” is being co-produced by two communica tions students at Texas A&M University.

While still maintaining traditional values, they have developed a performance style that simply shakes the cobwebs of pomposity right out of centuries-old performing style.
