Hot tips: A new channel, 9.4 (Twist) should start broadcasting soon. The Channel 9 program listing (www.wusa9.com/tv-listings) showed it starting 6AM Apr. 5 but at 3AM Apr. 6 it wasn't on the air. On Apr. 19 at noon on channel 26.4 Forces of Nature - Elements has incredible footage of firefighters putting out sulfur fires on a volcano.
