Dear Friends of WLAE:

As 2009 rapidly comes to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you for your support of WLAE during the past year. Whether it was through financial means, words of encouragement, volunteerism or prayer, your generosity is always much needed and greatly appreciated.  Challenging is the word that I use to describe the past year. While we were successful in the federally mandated transition to digital television and the fight to keep the broadcast of daily mass from St. Louis Cathedral on the air, we have yet to overcome the substantial cuts in funding from the state of Louisiana and loss of revenue due to the economic recession. We may have been knocked down, but are certainly not out. Our talented and resourceful staff is hard at work creating content and programs that educate, inform and inspire the viewers in our community.

The WLAE produced concert documentary film Fats Domino - Walkin’ Back to New Orleans recently gained national acclaim receiving a Telly Award and an Emmy nomination. Just recently, we were granted special permission to offer a DVD of this award winning documentary to our members who make a $100 pledge.  I would be thrilled to offer you this wonderful keepsake for your gift of $100 or more.

Also, I am proud to announce that in the fall of 2010, WLAE will premiere our documentary series Glory Days – The New Orleans Catholic League.  This nostalgic look back at one of the oldest continuing prep leagues in the country will certainly be must see TV.

Please know that WLAE is here to serve you and the viewers of Southeast Louisiana. Once again, I thank each of you for financially and prayerfully supporting our efforts and send my warmest holiday wishes to you and your family. Your gift of support, however large or small, goes a long way to help making WLAE- More Than Television.
