Show by Mu Cal Last week it vu accessary to omit our usual TV CompuVog sectiou. Occasionally, space requirements make it accessary to leave something out which we would rather iadude, but can't. Such was the case last week. We had several calls from readers who noted that they missed the sectioa aad were hopiag that its omission would aot be permanent. We are presently evaluating the situation to see if we caa coatiane to indude this popular feature ia our paper. Frankly, its very expensive. Previously we had partially subsidized the cost with advertising sponsors. We no longer have that sponsorship and unless new sponsors can be found, we will aot be able to continue this service. We are seeking such sponsors now and if successful we will continue to indude the TV listings. Volume 93 MANTI, UTAH 042.
