Westword's Michael Paglia and Rocky art and architecture critic Mary Voelz Chandler, authors of the new 320-page book Colorado Abstract - Paintings and Sculpture, and Hugh Grant, president of Denver's Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Arts, will be guests of Studio 12 program host Steffan Tubbs.

Topics of the show, at 8 p.m. Wednesday on KBDI-Channel 12, will be the book - about the historical development of abstract art in Colorado - and a large art exhibition divided between Metro State's Center for Visual Art and the Kirkland Museum.

The analog age is over for KBDI-Channel 12. The PBS station announced that it won't repair the transmission antenna that was damaged last month by the wind. It is urging its viewers to switch to its digital signals (12-1, 12-2, 12-3).

Wick Rowland, president and general manager of Colorado Public Television, said the latest decision was to save membership dollars on a repair that would provide only three or four months' benefit before analog is turned off completely. The station will operate three digital channels.
