You Are DPTV

My wife and I were thrilled when we found WTVS Ch. 56 after we moved here to Windsor Ontario forty years ago. Over 60% of our TV watching is Ch. 56. Since we watch it all of the time, it seemed only fair we should become sustaining members. I feel this kind of support is essential, because DPTV is the only good thing on TV both here and in Canada.
