KHGI-TV

KHGI-TV is the ABC-affiliated television station for most of central and western Nebraska and the northern third of Kansas that is licensed to Kearney. It broadcasts on VHF channel 13 from a transmitter in Lowell. Owned by Pappas Telecasting Companies, KHGI is part of a duopoly with Lincoln-based Fox affiliate KFXL-TV. Both stations share studios located along Nebraska Highway 44 near Axtell (though the mailing address says Kearney).

Overview

KHGI-TV's programming (with the exception of commercials) is repeated on KWNB-TV (channel 6) in Hayes Center, both stations are branded as the Nebraska Television Network, or NTV for short. The station is part of the Lincoln-Hastings-Kearney market, but this market has historically had little basis television reality and is only truly realized on the local satellite feeds. The market only shares three television stations, CBS affiliate KOLN in Lincoln (which operates a satellite in Grand Island, KGIN) NBC affiliate KSNB-TV in Superior and Fox affiliate KFXL. KHGI/KWNB serves as the ABC affiliate for the western half of the market, while KLKN serves as the network's affiliate for Lincoln and the eastern half of the market. Omaha ABC affiliate KETV also has significant viewership in the eastern part of the market, as all of the Omaha stations are available in Lincoln either over-the-air or on cable.

Nebraska

Nebraska ⁱ/nəˈbræskə/ is a state that lies in both the Great Plains and the Midwestern United States. Its state capital is Lincoln. Its largest city is Omaha, which is on the Missouri River. The state is crossed by many historic trails and was explored by the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The California Gold Rush brought the first large numbers of non-indigenous settlers to the area. Nebraska was admitted as the 37th state of the United States in 1867. The climate has wide variations between winter and summer temperatures, and violent thunderstorms and tornadoes are common. The state is characterized by treeless prairie, which is ideal for cattle-grazing. It is a major producer of beef, as well as pork, corn, and soybeans. The largest ancestry group claimed by Nebraskans is German American. The state also has the largest per capita population of Czech Americans among U.S. states.

Etymology

Nebraska's name is derived from transliteration of the archaic Otoe words Ñí Brásge, pronounced [ɲĩbɾasꜜkɛ] (contemporary Otoe Ñí Bráhge), or the Omaha Ní Btháska, pronounced [nĩbɫᶞasꜜka], meaning "flat water", after the Platte River that flows through the state.

Nebraska (album)

Nebraska is the sixth studio album, and the first acoustic album by Bruce Springsteen. The album was released on September 30, 1982, by Columbia Records.

Sparsely-recorded on a cassette-tape Portastudio, the tracks on Nebraska were originally intended as demos of songs to be recorded with the E Street Band. However, Springsteen ultimately decided to release the demos himself. Nebraska remains one of the most highly regarded albums in his catalogue. The songs on Nebraska both deal with ordinary, blue collar characters who face a challenge or a turning point in their lives, but also outsiders, criminals and mass murderers, who have little hope for the future - or no future at all, as in the title track, where the main character is sentenced to death in the electric chair. Unlike his previous albums, very little salvation and grace is present within the songs. The album's uncompromising sound and mood, combined with its dark lyrical content has been described by a music critic as "one of the most challenging albums ever released by a major star on a major record label."
