Following is an update regarding City7 programming, which includes two new public safety studio programs featuring the Wichita Police Department (WPD) and the Wichita Fire Department (WFD). The two new programs are:

• Behind The Badge, a City7 studio show that focuses on public safety issues, initiatives and projects. Behind the Badge is hosted by WPD spokesman Gordon Bassham. The program’s first installment addresses trick-or-treating safety tips and topics related to dating and domestic violence. The second show focuses residential burglaries and property theft from vehicles.

• Burning Issues, a second City7 studio program that focuses on public safety matters related to the WFD. The debut show, hosted by Fire Chief Ronald D. Blackwell, addresses the fire investigation unit, including WFD dogs Jodie and Bella; a training exercise at McConnell Air Force Base and the department’s efforts to help combat breast cancer.

Also, the second installment of City Scene, the City7 newscast hosted by Lauragail Locke, is also airing. Other recent City7 programming includes a studio panel discussion on H1N1; a window repair seminar by home improvement expert Robert Yapp; and two Botanica The Wichita Gardens lunchtime lectures, one of which features Tanya Tandoc, who spoke on healthy eating to combat breast cancer.
