I'm delighted to announce that in addition to presenting discussions on timely and important Bedford issues, a series of interviews with candidates seeking election this fall to important New Hampshire positions will also be presented on my "Tell It Like It Is" show on BCTV.

The first show of the series starts airing today, and it features Kevin Smith, who is a Republican candidate for Governor of New Hampshire. On the show, Kevin outlines his campaign platform, along with presenting his ideas on how to improve New Hampshire's economy, how to make it easier to operate a business in New Hampshire, and how to boost new jobs for New Hampshire residents.

The show will air on BCTV Channel 16 today at 1:00 PM and again at 8:00 PM, and can also be viewed on your computer at broadcast times through live streaming. To learn the daily broadcast times through to next Thursday, check the BCTV weekly schedule in either the Bedford Bulletin or the Bedford Journal, or check the schedule each day on the station's website www.bedfordtv.com . The show can also be downloaded at anytime from the website.

This is the first interview of many over the coming weeks that will give you a chance to get an upclose and personal look at a wide array of people who seek to represent us statewide.
