Now for the much awaited announcement. You’re in great hands as we’ve promoted Zander Moore from his fill-in role to the new Showrunner here at Channel 85, earlier today he signed a 1 year contract for 5 million dollars. I’m very excited for the future of Channel 85. So as I move on to hopefully do this professionally one day, from where it all started. Talawanda, thank you.
