Although news department employees are being let go, Skinner said KLMG "has actually added several people in recent weeks. A lot of them are in sales, some in promotion and some are in production." On April 1, Skinner said viewers will see all new programming when the station joins Fox. In addition, the station will have new call letters.

Channel SI has applied for the call letters of KFXK In January, the transfer of KLMG's ownership to Kamin Broadcasting Co.Longview Limited Partnership was completed.

They include KLMG News Department employees Kelli Wiese, Beth Bak-erman, Kevin Goff and Ray Lous-teau. "This is tough on everyone, of course.

"We originally had explored the idea of a 9 o'clock newscast (beginning in April), but after some research we decided we'd better serve the public if we concentrated on programming and events that are of a community interest as opposed to hard news," said Brent Skinner, KLMG general manager. Instead of a traditional local newscast, Skinner said the station plans to air "community affairs programming, specials on drug abuse, learning disabilities, 1985 on a charge of burglary of a vehicle, and he was indicted as a habitual offender, Simpson said. In the case Tuesday, Simpson presented evidence a 1985 pickup truck was stolen from a barbecue restaurant, and someone who knows Glaspie saw him driving it About 90 minutes after it was stolen, it was found burning about 1.5 miles from Glaspie's home, and officers theorized it was torched to obliterate fingerprints and other evidence, Simpson said. Simpson asked the jury to assess the maximum sentence of life or 99 years. The latest conviction involves a property crime in which there was no violence, and in such cases the parole board releases inmates early, she said.

Glaspie served about two years on the 25-year sentence she obtained from a jury in 1987, and by last June he was out of prison and committing more crimes, she said. By Jerry Graham Staff Writer A man with four previous felony convictions was sentenced Tuesday to 50 years in prison on a charge of unautho-( rized use of a vehicle. A jury in 124th District Court assessed the sentence against RicKy Glaspie, 26, also known as -Ricky Bodine of Kilgore. Judge Alvin Khoury ordered the sentence stacked on top of IS and eight year sentences Glaspie received on Rusk County convictions. It was a bit of deja vu for Assistant District Attorney Becky Simpson, who on April 15, 1987, prosecuted Glaspie before another jury and obtained a 25-year prison sentence on a charge of burglary of a habitation.

Since then, she said, Glaspie has been released on parole and has been convicted in Rusk County on charges of bur-glary'of a habitation and unauthorized use of a vehicle. Glaspie was also convicted in Soviet Acrobatic Revue to perform here on Friday variety of entertainment that should appeal to all ages.
