Fox Sports Ohio/Reds Now on FPB Cable

Our service area is full of Reds fans, me included.
— John Higginbotham

When the All-Star break ends on Friday, FPB Classic Cable customers will officially hear, “PLAY BALL!” Cincinnati Reds fans in the Capital City area can now watch every Reds game on FPB Cable.

Tuesday night, the Frankfort Plant Board’s Directors voted to replace FOX Sports South with FOX Sports Ohio. The change will take place Thursday, July 17. Due to the SEC Network getting broadcast rights to University of Kentucky sports from FOX Sports South, FPB was able to request the change in the FOX regional networks.

FPB Assistant General Manager of Cable-Telecom John Higginbotham says this will be a very popular move for many FPB customers. “Our service area is full of Reds fans, me included. We have heard from these fans for many years, as they expressed their desire to watch the Reds. We are ecstatic to offer FOX Sports Ohio for its great programming, especially Cincinnati Reds baseball.”

The Reds open the second half of the MLB season Friday night in New York against the Yankees. Game time is set for 7pm. FOX Sports Ohio can be seen on FPB Classic Cable channel 36 and in HD on 536.

New Movie Tuesday

It's Tuesday and that means we've got new VOD movies today.  These two movies are both available now, weeks before you'll find them on Netflix or Redbox. 

300: Rise of an Empire

Greek general Themistokles leads the charge against invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

Winter's Tale

Set in a mythic New York City and spanning more than a century, "Winter's Tale" is a story of miracles, crossed destinies, and the age-old battle between good and evil.

Keep An Eye Out

Summer is officially here. Kids and adults will be spending more time outside playing games, working in the yard, participating in sports, camping, fishing, hiking or just soaking up some of that amazing sunshine.  Unfortunately, being outdoors increases your risk of getting a nasty rash from that most horrible of plants, Poison Ivy.  Poison ivy, as well as poison oak and poison sumac, produces a resin called urushiol which is found in all parts of the plant throughout the year and can remain active on dead and dried plants for up to five years.

However, if you know what to look for, Poison Ivy and Poison Oak can usually be avoided.  Here are a few things to keep an eye out for when you're out this summer: 

You've probably heard some variation of the "Leaves of three?  Let them be."   Poison Ivy has three leaves on a long stem.  The middle or terminal leaf usually has a longer stem with the two lateral leaves being slightly smaller in size.  Poison ivy can grow as a vine, bush or single plant.  Poison ivy can also have berries and flowers.  The berries tend to be white or cream colored.

Fluid from poison ivy rashes (comprised mainly water) can not spread to other people or to other parts of your body.  

However, touching the plant or touching anything which has touched the plant (clothing, tools, sports equipment and pets) can cause the allergic reaction.  The uroshiol oil is essentially nonvolatile and can remain on articles and clothing for as much as a year.

If you have contaminated clothes, store them in a plastic garbage bag until you can wash them.  Try not to touch them with bare skin. Wash the contaminated clothes in the hottest water available with detergent and in the longest cycle.  It's also advised to use the largest cycle: uroshiol is oily and not easily water soluble.  If you need more of an explanation than that, here's a good article.
