Airs Fridays at 7 p.m. and repeats Sundays at 7 a.m.
Public television station KNME-TV, Channel 5 continues its series featuring some of the most outspoken media voices in the state on “The Line.” On Friday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m., Gabriel Nims, executive director of 1000 Friends of New Mexico and Sergia Pareja, UNM law professor, will be featured.
This week on “The Line,” panelists tackle the tough issues, starting with rumors of a plan to create a new North American Union, which would include the United States. Is it a good idea for our nation's identity and economy? And, are the rumors true? Plus, the group's take on the sex scandal in Washington, and how it will likely become a hot topic in the U.S. House race between Heather Wilson and Patricia Madrid. All this and more, this week on “The Line.”
“The Line” is a diverse take on the new, striving to provide intelligent, witty, free wheeling and civilized discourse to a New Mexico discussion, in an age of combative cable news coverage.
“The Line” airs Fridays at 7 p.m. and repeats Sundays at 7 a.m.
To keep the conversation fresh, the commentators are joined by a new guest to explore the national and New Mexico issues that are making headlines.
