[♪ THEME MUSIC ♪] >>> COMING UP IN THE NEXT HOUR ON ARIZONA PBS, ON "ARIZONA HORIZON," DETAILS ON THE CORPORATION COMMISSIONERS RECENT VOTE TO REJECT AN UPDATED RENEWABLEN I GO STANDARD, AND A LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD WANTS THE LEGISLATURE TO STEP IN AND BUILD A WALL TO KEEP OUT TRAFFIC NOISE.

THAT'S ALL IN THE NEXT HOUR OF ARIZONA PBS.

>> Announcer: ARIZONA PBS PBS -- "ARIZONA HORIZON" IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THE FACUS FAMILY FOUND DAWGS -- FOUNDATION.

>>> GOOD MORNING, AND WELCOME TO "ARIZONA HORIZON."

I'M TED SIMONS.

THERE WERE NO NEW COVID RELATED FATALITIES RECORDED, BUT ARIZONA'S SEVEN-DAY DEATH RATE IS STILL 11TH HIGHEST IN THE COUNTRY.

HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE STILL UP THERE, BUT THEY ARE STEADY.

>>> THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION TODAY FULLY APPROVED THE MODERNA COVID-19 VACCINE.

TODAY'S FULL APPROVAL IS FOR ANYONE 16 AND OLDER.

IT IS NOW CONSIDERED AUTHORIZED FOR CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 5.

AND MODERNA HAS DECIDED TO NAME ITSELF VACCINE SPIKE VAC.

>>> THE 9TH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS RULED THAT THE INCREASE ON SOLAR CUSTOMERS ARE A MEAN ON WHAT THE LAW CLAIMS IS A SCHEME TO REDUCE SOLAR ENERGY COMPETITION.

AND IT OPENS THE UTILITY TO ANTI-TRUST LEGISLATION.

THE DECISION REVERSES A LOWER-COURT DISMISSAL, THEY CALLING THE RULING A, QUOTE, GAME CHANGER AS WHAT THEY DESCRIBE AS AN ATTEMPT TO PUSH ROOF TOP SOLAR OUT OF THE MARKETPLACE.

>>> HISTORICALLY BLACK UNIVERSITIES WERE ISSUED BOMB THREATS TODAY.

NO PROOF WAS FOUND ON THE CAMPUSES.

>>> THE ARIZONA CORPORATION COMMISSION LAST WEEK JEKT JEKT -- EJECTED AN UPDATE TO THE ENERGY STANDARDS.

ARIZONA REPUBLICAN REPORTER RYAN, IS COVERING THE STORY.

>> RYAN GOOD TO SPEAK WITH YOU.

THE CORPORATION COMMISSION MADE A BIG VOTE LAST WEEK, AND SOMEWHAT SURPRISING TO COME AND MAYBE NOT SO MUCH TO OTHERS.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

>> THEY WERE CONSIDERING, AS THEY HAVE FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS, WHETHER OR NOT UTILITIES SHOULD HAVE HIGHER STANDARDS FOR CLEAN AND RENEWABLE ENERGY IN THE STATED.

AND AFTER FIVE YEARS THEY KILLED THE RULE AND ENDED THE PROCESS WITHOUT CHANGING THE CURRENT STANDARD.

>> AND THE CURRENT STANDARD IS 15% OF POWER OF RENEWABLES BY 2025.

AND HOW WOULD THAT HAVE CHANGED?

>> IT COULD HAVE GONE TO 100% CLEAN ENERGY, WHICH WOULD HAVE INCLUDED NUCLEAR, SOLAR, AND WIND, BY 2070.

THAT HAD BEEN WEAKENED OVER THE YEARS AS DIFFERENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION HAD CONCERNS WITH INCREASING THE MANDATE ON THE UTILITIES.

IT WAS WEEKENDED TO THE POINT THAT SOME OF THE DEMOCRATS REALLY DIDN'T SUPPORT WHAT THEY WERE GOING FOR, BECAUSE THEY WANTED A STRONGER STANDARD, AND IN THE END THEY GOT NOTHING.

>> AND ORIGINALLY IT WAS 100% BY 2050, AND THEN THEY SAID WE'LL MOVE OUT IT OUT TO 2070, AND I THINK COMMISSIONER O'CONNOR WAS VERY MUCH INVOLVED IN SOME OF THE NEGOTIATIONS AND COMPROMISES.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.

>> ABOUT A YEAR AGO, YOU ARE RIGHT, THERE WAS A VOTE TO GO FORWARD, AND THEY STALLED A YEAR AGO, AND THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT REACHED A COMPROMISE.

IT WAS SOMETHING HE FOUND PALATABLE AT THE TIME, SO A ANNOUNCED THIS COMPROMISE, AND WHEN THE SECOND VOTE CAME UP, HE CHANGED HIS MIND.

>> WAS THERE ANY INDICATION HE WAS HEADING THAT WAY, LEANING THAT WAY?

WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?

>> THERE WAS INDICATION BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS THAT HE WAS LEANING THAT WAY, SO THEY TABLED IT UNTIL AFTER THE HOLIDAYS, I IMAGINE SO THEY COULD GET MORE PUBLIC COMMENT.

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

I'M NOT SURE.

THAT HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY WITH ANOTHER REPUBLICAN MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION WHO VOTED FOR THE RULES AND LATER DECIDED SHE DIDN'T SUPPORT THE CHANGE.

>> WHAT HAPPENED THERE?

>> SHE DECIDED SHE DID NOT LIKE WHAT THEY CALLED A TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENT THAT FORCED A PORTION OF THE ENERGY TO BE STRICT RENEWABLES, SOLAR AND WIND, AND INSTEAD THEY MOVED TO CLEAN ENERGY, WHICH IS JUST CARBON FREE, WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO COUNT NUCLEAR POWER TOWARDS THE RULE.

AND THAT REQUIRED ANOTHER COMPROMISE TO KEEP THE ISSUE LIVE.

>> SO WE SAW COMPROMISE, COMPROMISE, COMPROMISE, COMPROMISE, AND STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH WHEN THE VOTE GAME DOWN.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

AND IT THIS GOES BACK SEVERAL REPUBLICAN COMMISSION MEMBERS THAT WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR THIS OVER THE YEARS, BUT THE THREE SITTING THERE TODAY DID NOT SUPPORT IT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

SO DEMOCRATIC RESPONSE TO THIS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS?

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?

>> THEY ARE EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED, BECAUSE THIS ENDS YEARS OF NEGOTIATION ON THIS, AND REALLY, THEY ARE JUST TURNING THEIR ATTENTION NOW TO THE ELECTION, HOPING THEY CAN GET ANOTHER DEMOCRAT ELECTED AND SOMEHOW SURVIVE THESE RULES.

BUT IT'S A LONG PROCESS.

>> AND COMMISSIONER JUSTIN OLSON SAYS IT IS GOING TO RAISE PRICES.

AND IT SOUNDED FROM YOUR REPORTING THAT MAYBE O'CONNOR THOUGHT MAYBE I'LL GO ALONG WITH JUSTIN, THAT KIND OF THING.

INCREASED PRICES, WAS THAT A MAJOR FACTOR?

>> YEAH, THAT'S A MAJOR CONCERN FROM THE REPUBLICANS, AND SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN DEBATED OVER AND OVER.

THEY OFTEN ARE FINDING THE CHEAPEST ELECTRICITY THEY CAN BUY, IS SOLAR BACKED UP BY BATTERIES IN ARIZONA.

SO THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT RENEWABLE ENERGY POINT TO THAT, AND SAY WHY NOT?

RETIRE THESE COAL POWER PLANTS AND INVEST MORE IN CLEAN ENERGY.

>> AND THE UTILITIES WERE SUPPORTTIVE OF THIS.

>> YEAH, THE UTILITIES WERE SUPPORTIVE OF THE MOVEMENT.

THEY BOTH ACTUALLY HAVE STRICTER STANDARDS ON THEMSELVES, SO THEY HAVE SELF IMPOSED GOALS TO USE MORE CLEAN ENERGY THAN WHAT THE COMMISSION WAS DISCUSSING.

>> YEAH, IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSIONING.

THE UP COMING ELECTION.

IT'S HERE.

IT'S NOW.

HOW BIG OF A DEAL IS THIS GOING TO BE?

>> IT IS GOING TO BE REALLY BIG.

NOBODY WANTS TO SOUND LIKE THEY DON'T SUPPORT CLEAN ENERGY.

BUT THEY SORT OF WANT TO HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, LIKE WANTING TO APPEAR LIKE THEY SUPPORT CLEAN ENERGY, BUT ALSO NOT REQUIRING IT OF THE UTILITIES.

>> TODAY THE RULING FROM THE 9TH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS.

REAL QUICKLY, WHAT HAPPENED TODAY?

BECAUSE THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE A BIGGY?

>> WELL, THE 9TH CIRCUIT SAID THE STATE COURTS CAN GO BACK AND PURSUE THIS CASE WHERE CUSTOMERS ARE SUING SRP FOR BEING UNFAIR TO ROOF TOP SOLAR CUSTOMERS.

THERE WERE HUGE PROTESTS, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE PROTESTING THE DEMAND CHARGES ON PEOPLE WHO INSTALL SOLAR, AND THAT JUST LIMITS OR ELIMINATES THE ABILITY TO SAVE MONEY WITH SOLAR IN YOUR HOME.

SO THIS IS A 6-YEAR-OLD DEBATE OVER THESE REALLY COMPLICATED RATES, AND NOW THAT IS GOING TO GO BACK TO STATE COURT.

>> AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT UTILITIES ARE TRYING TO DRIVE SOLAR OUT OF BUSINESS.

>> RIGHT.

>> INTERESTING.

BUSY DAY.

RYAN THANKS FOR STOPPING BY FOR US.

>>> THANK YOU.

>>> UP NEXT ON "ARIZONA HORIZON," DETAILS ON THE CITY OF SCOTTSDALE'S NEW DROUGHT MANAGEMENT PLAN.

>>> SCOTTSDALE IS IMPLEMENTING A DROUGHT MANAGEMENT PLAN IN RESPONSE TO A TIER 1 WATER SHORTAGE.

THE PLAN ASKS ALL BUSINESSES AND WATER USERS TO CONSERVE WATER USAGE BY 5%.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

THE CITY IS IMPLEMENTING ITS OWN DROUGHT MANAGEMENT PLAN.

TELL US MORE.

>> THANKS.

YES, WE IMPLEMENTED THE PLAN LAST YEAR IN AUGUST, AFTER THE BUREAU BUREAU OF RECLAMATION DECLARED A TIER 1 CUTBACK.

AND WE KNEW THEY WERE COMING, AND THOUGHT IT BEST TO ACTIVATE OUR PLAN, AND THEN LET OUR CUSTOMERS AND RESIDENTS KNOW, THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION.

WE HAVE ENOUGH WATER FOR OUR RESIDENTS, BUT WE WANTED THEM TO UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUS NATURE OF THE COLORADO RIVER CUTBACKS.

>> AND YOU ARE ASKING CUSTOMERS TO CUT BY 5%.

THE BEST WAYS TO CONSERVE.

>> SURE, MOST OF OUR WATER IN THE DESERT ARE USED OUTDOORS.

SO CHECK YOUR IRRIGATION TIMER, AND PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR IRRIGATION TIMER.

WE HAVE FREE OUTDOOR EFFICIENCY TESTS -- OR CHECKS, SO IF YOU GO TO OUR WEBSITE, YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR AN OUTDOOR EFFICIENCY CHECK, AND ONE OF OUR STAFF CAN VISIT YOU ON OUTDOOR IRRIGATION, SINGLE THINGS LIKE CHECKING YOUR IRRIGATION HEADS.

WE HAVE ALL SEEN THESE SPOUTS GOING UP IN THE AIR AND SPILLING IN THE STREETS, AND MIXING THOSE KINDS OF PROBLEMS CAN REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

AND WE HAVE A GREAT REBATE PACKAGE FOR FOLKS WHO WANT TO REMOVE TURF, AND GO TO A XERISCAPE YARD.

IT IS ZERO WITH -- IT'S AN X XERISCAPE, AND IT MEANS A LOW-WATER USE YARD.

YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND SEE IN SCOTTSDALEAZ.GOV AND LOOK AT SOME OF THE EXAMPLES THERE.

THEY ARE VERY NICE.

>> IS THERE ANY CONCERN THAT GETTING RID OF ALL OF THE GRASS IS GOING TO -- YOU KNOW, EFFECT THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND?

WE HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE OASIS EFFECT.

THOSE CITIES HAD TURF AS A WAY OF COOLING, AND YOU GET RID OF ALL OF THAT, AND WHAT HAPPENED?

>> YES, THE NICE THING ABOUT XERISCAPE IS YOU ARE GETTING GROUND COVER VEGETATION VERSUS TURF.

WE'RE NOT ASKING EVERYBODY TO GET ALL OF THEIR GRASS.

IF YOU HAVE TURF THAT IS USED AND THERE IS TRAFFIC ON IT, WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU TO GET RID OF THAT, BUT THERE IS SO MUCH TURF AROUND THAT CAN GIVE YOU A GREEN EFFECT, AND REDUCE THAT HEAT ISLAND EFFECT, AND YET NOT REQUIRE ALL OF THE WATERING THAT TURF DOES.

>> WILL THE CITY BE FOLLOWING SUIT WITH PARKS AND SUCH?

>> YES WHEN WE ACTIVATED OUR PLAN, WE ACTED OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM, AND THAT TEAM GOT TOGETHER BACK IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER, AND TRIED TO UP OUR OWN GAME WITH A PLEDGE OF SAVING 5% AT CITY FACILITIES AS WELL.

OUR PARKS AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN VERY WATER EFFICIENT, AND WATER CONSCIENCE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, ALWAYS DOING BETTER THAN THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS ON TURF IRRIGATION, BUT WE'RE GOING TO UP OUR GAME.

WE'RE GOING TO ASK OUR CUSTOMERS AND RESIDENTS TO DO THAT.

>> AND THESE ARE ALL REQUESTS.

COULD THEY BE REQUIREMENTS IF TIER 1, BECOMES TIER 2.

>> THEY COULD.

AT TIER 2, PROBABLY NOT, BUT AT A TIER 3, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TIER LEVELS THAT THE BURROW OF RECLAMATION HAS ON THE COLORADO RIVER, TIER 3, YES, THEY COULD VERY WELL BECOME MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS.

>> AND BEFORE WE LET YOU GO, WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE HAVE YOU HAD TO THIS DROUGHT MANAGEMENT PLAN.

>> WE HAVE HAD A GREAT RESPONSE.

WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF FOLKS THAT WANT TO DO THEIR PART, AND JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW THEY CAN DO THAT, SO BEEN REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE RESPONSE, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO SEND OUT THAT MESSAGE THAT BY GIVING A LITTLE -- GAVE 5%, IT COULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

WE AS A CITY COULD SAVE CLOSE TO 5,000 ACRE FEET A YEAR, IF EVERYBODY WOULD SAVE 5%.

>> BRIAN THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU.

>>> BROADWAY RECENTLY ENTERED A PROGRAM THAT COMMITS TO DIVERSITY ON AND OFF THE STAGE.

AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT WITH COLLEEN JENNINGS-ROGGENSACK.

COLLEEN, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

THANKS FOR JOINING US >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> YOU BET YA.

IN A GENERAL SENSE WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?

>> IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL -- THERE IS ALWAYS A SILVER LINING TO EVERYTHING, SO WHEN WE ARE FIGHTING WHAT I CALL THE TWO PANDEMICS, THE COVID PANDEMIC, AND THE PAN OF SYSTEMIC RACISM, WITH ALL OF THE PAUSES THAT WERE HAPPENING ON BROADWAY, WE ALL HAD TIME TO ACTUALLY THINK.

I'M THE VICE CHAIR OF THE ROAD FOR THE BROADWAY LEAGUE, WHICH ARE OUR BOARD OF GOVERNORS, AND WE HAD TIME TO SAY WHAT ARE WE DOING IN LIGHT OF THAT SECOND PANDEMIC, IN THE LIGHT OF THE MURDER OF GORGE FLOYD.

WE DISCOVERED THERE WERE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WE REALLY HADN'T THOUGHT THROUGH, AND THINGS THAT MIGHT BE AS EASY AS THE FACT THAT THERE WERE NO BLACK HAIRDRESSERS, SO IF YOU HAD TEXTURED HAIR, AND YOU WERE IN A SHOW, WHETHER IT BE LONG-RUNNING OR A SHOW THAT IS OPENING, THERE IS NO ONE TO DO YOUR HAIR.

YET EVERY OTHER PERFORMER HAD THEIR HAIR AND MAKEUP DONE.

AND THE BLACK THEATER UNITED -- AND THIS IS MY RESPONSE, BLACK THEATER UNITED [ WHISPERING ] EVERY NAME IS A STAR OF THE STAGE AND FILM AND TELEVISION, AND THEY ALL GOT TOGETHER AND SAID, WHAT DO WE WANT?

AND THUS, THE NEW DEAL CAME ABOUT.

AND BROADWAY IS AN INTERLOCKING COMMUNITY, SO YOU ARE PERFORMERS, PRODUCERS, PRESS AGENT AGENTS, AND THE UNIONS AND MORE.

SO BLACK THEATER UNITED SAID WE WANT TO PUT TOGETHER A SUMMIT, AND WE WANT IT TO BE HONEST OPEN.

THERE WAS NO PRESS ABOUT IT WHEN WE BEGAN.

AND WE ALL MET AND DISCUSSED THE DIFFERENT THINGS.

MANY OF WHICH THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS BUSINESS -- WHO HAVE BEEN IN THIS BUSINESS FOR DECADES AND DECADES AND DECADES -- HAD NOT THOUGHT ABOUT.

SO THEN YOU HAVE A CREATIVE TEAM, A DIRECTOR, A WRITER, A COMPOSER.

THERE IS A SET DESIGNER.

WE COULD OPEN SHOWS ON BROADWAY, WITH ALL WHITE CREATIVE TEAMS, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CONTENT.

AND IT'S SORT OF STUNNING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE NEW DEAL ABOUT NOT COMMITTING TO A SHOW UNLESS THE CREATIVE TEAM WAS DIVERSE.

I -- I HAVE A SAYING.

THOSE WHO CHOOSE THOSE WHO CHOOSE.

SO THANK YOU LATTIE CORE WHO CHOSE ME, WHO THEN CHOOSES WHAT HAPPENS ON THE GAMMAGE STAGE.

AND WE DISCOVERED THERE WERE NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE OF COLOR WHOSE WORK WAS BEING DONE.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE OF COLOR WHO WERE RUNNING THEATERS.

SO WE WEREN'T JUST LOOKING BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

WE WERE LOOKING IN FRONT OF THE CURTAIN AS WELL.

AND IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE BROADWAY, WE NOW CALL IT THE GREAT BRIGHTWAY, HAS BEEN EXAMINEING THOSE ISSUES.

WE HAVE TO SAY HOW ARE YOU COMMITTED?

UNDERSTAND WHY -- THE WHY.

HOW?

AND THEN WHAT WILL YOU DO TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

SO THE NEW DEAL IS ONE OF THOSE DOCUMENTS THAT IS OUT THAT WAS STARTED BY THE BLACK THEATER UNITED, WHICH TALKS ABOUT COMMITMENT, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE VARIOUS ARENAS I JUST TALKED ABOUT.

>> I KNOW YOU DEAL WITH A LOT OF UNIONS, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF RULES AND REGULATIONS THERE.

>> YOU ARE SO SMART.

I'M A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL LABOR COMMITTEE.

AND WE DO LABOR NEGOTIATIONS.

WHILE THE UNIONS WERE PART OF THE BTU, THE NEW DEAL.

SO THEY WERE AT THE TABLE WITH THE DISCUSSIONS, AND ONE OF THE THINGS FOR EACH OF OUR AREAS, THERE ARE 41 UNIONS AND GUILDS IN BROADWAY.

>> WOW.

YEAH.

>> AND WE ALL SAID WHAT CAN WE DO?

WHAT SHOULD WE BE DOING?

WE TALKED ABOUT PIPELINE.

THERE IS ALWAYS A DISCUSSION ABOUT PIPELINE.

I LIKE TO SAY, WE DON'T HAVE BEEN A PIPELINE PROBLEM.

WE HAVE A DOORBELL PROBLEM.

PEOPLE ARE RINGING THE DOORBELL, AND NOBODY IS OPENING THE DOOR, SO WE BEGAN TO LOOK AT FELLOWSHIPS, AND SOME WOULD HAVE PAID FELLOWSHIPS.

AND SO IT ISN'T THAT FELLOWSHIPS DIDN'T EXIST.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF US PACKED A SUITCASE, WENT TO NEW YORK, AND SAID I'M HERE NEW YORK, AND I HAVE A JOB THAT PAYS ME NOTHING BUT I'M GOING TO DEVELOP MY CRAFT.

SO WE LOOKED AT PAID POSITIONS.

AND IT WAS BUILT SO THAT AFRICAN AMERICANS COULD GET ASSISTANT JOBS, WHICH THEN OPENS THE DOOR FOR THE DIRECTING JOBS, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, CHOREOGRAPHER, COSTUME DESIGNER.

AND THE PRODUCTION COMPANY HIRED 12 ASSISTANTS.

>> WOW.

WOW.

>> YEAH, PRETTY COOL, HUH?

SO WAS THERE A PUSHBACK?

NO, PART OF IT WAS JUST FIGURING OUT WHAT TO DO.

ANY TIME YOU MAKE A REQUIREMENT THAT MIGHT REQUIRE US TO BE PART OF A NEGOTIATION, IT GETS A LITTLE TIGHT ROPED.

>> YEAH.

>> WE HAVE ABOUT A MINUTE LEFT, SO TELL US WHAT IS GAMMAGE.

>> WE STARTED THE BROADWAY LEAGUE PROGRAM WORKING WITH THE ASSOCIATION OF PRESS AGENTS, THEATER MANAGERS AND STAGE MANAGERS, THEATER MANAGERS, AND WE HAD YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO WERE INTERESTED IN THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE.

WE HAVE HAD SEVEN FELLOWS.

SIX OF THEM ARE WORKING ON BROADWAY.

>> WOW.

>> ISN'T THAT AMAZING?

>> YEAH.

>> SO EVERY COMPANY THAT COMES IN WILL SAY WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN APP-AM STUDENT, CAN YOU HELP US OUT?

WE ALSO WANT TO LOOK AT THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE.

NOTING ONLY WITH STAFF AND CREW, BUT ALSO CONCESSIONARES.

SO IN SO MANY WAYS WHAT IS HAPPENING OWN BROADWAY, ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY IS DOING TOO.

>> VERY GOOD.

>> AND I WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO SAY, OUR PROGRAMS -- FOR INSTANCE WE HAVE A SHOW COMING WHICH IS ABOUT EGYPTIANS AND ISRAELIS.

>> CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS.

BEST OF LOOK ON THIS.

AND IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU.

HAVE ME BACK ANY TIME.

THANKS, TED.

>>> AND THAT IS IT FOR NOW.

I'M TED SIMONS.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

YOU HAVE A GREAT EVENING.

>>> COMING UP IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR ON CRONKITE NEWS, RESEARCHERS TALK ABOUT WHAT PHOTOS FROM THE NEW JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE COULD REVEAL.
