From Gov. Richardson’s failed presidential bid to a democratic congressional sweep in New Mexico, 2008 has been a year that will not be forgotten. “New Mexico in Focus,” KNME-TV, channel 5’s weekly one-hour news show, will air the first part of two-part series looking back at 2008 on Friday, Dec. 26 at 7 p.m., and the second part on Friday, Jan. 2, 2009, at 7 p.m. There will be no Sunday repeat for either of these broadcasts.
Co-hosts Gene Grant and David Alire Garcia will count down the top stories of 2008. Grant and regular panelists Whitney Cheshire, Margaret Montoya and Jim Scarantino will be joined by guest panelist Sophie Martin, managing editor of DukeCityFix.com to debate the important stories of 2008.
Producers of ‘New Mexico In Focus’ are Kevin McDonald and Kathy Wimmer. Closed captioning has been made possible by a gift from Mrs. Elspeth G. Bobbs.
