From the Albuquerque Tribune:
Harlan McKosato likens his quest to start an American Indian cable station to the famous first line in “Field of Dreams.”
“I keep saying: ‘If you build it, they will come,’ ” said McKosato, 38.
And come they will, McKosato is certain, to a cable and satellite channel filled 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with nothing but American Indian programming.
“People are starting to look for a specific slice of our (American Indian) society,” he said.
He’s so certain that on April 9 he gave up his nine-year gig as host of the locally produced syndicated radio show “Native America Calling” to focus on getting this channel into the homes of the 105 million cable and satellite subscribers in the United States, and a few more around the world.
“If we get the European market, we think that’s going to bust it loose because of the interest they have in Native American history,” he said.
