Northern Valley Communications of Aberdeen is pleased to announce the November 1^st launch of RFD-TV on channel 128. RFD-TV will be a part of the company's Expanded View package, which now contains 130 channels and includes a wide variety of programming for the entire family. 

RFD-TV is the nation's first 24-hour television network dedicated to serving the needs and interests of rural America and agriculture. Although RFD-TV carries a number of agricultural programs, this is not a farm channel, but a network committed to serving all of rural America, which is a perfect fit for the area. RFD-TV provides news that impacts rural areas, event and convention coverage, agricultural information and much more family-oriented programming. Currently, the network's programming is highlighted by daily program blocks of Horses on RFD-TV, Rural/Agricultural News, Rural Lifestyle, traditional and ethnic music, rural youth and live video livestock auctions. Visit their website at www.rfdtv.com for more programming information.

"We're proud to add RFD-TV at the request of our customers. It is a great fit and provides programming targeted to this area and will compliment our lineup quite well," stated NVC's CEO James Groft.  "More importantly the addition will come at no additional cost to the customer."

In addition to being the largest Internet provider in northeast South Dakota , Northern Valley Communications is constructing a state-of-art telecommunications network throughout Aberdeen which provides telephone, digital cable TV and high speed Internet service. NVC is a wholly owned subsidiary of James Valley Telecommunications, a cooperative that has been providing telecommunication services to its members in northeast South Dakota for over 50 years. JVT serves the communities of Groton, Claremont, Andover, Frederick, Conde, Ferney, Stratford, Columbia, Bristol, Doland, Houghton, Mellette, Turton and Hecla.
