is a renowned World War II historian who leads historical tours to World War II battlefields throughout Europe. This set of Veterans’ Voice shows told the in-depth stories and details of famous World War II battles, and also told the amazing stories of specific World War II veterans who became American heroes. MTN, Ken Wiley, Terry Smith, and Keith Buchanan also worked together to organize and host two World War II Symposiums, one symposium at Appalachian State University and a second symposium at Watauga High School, in order to recognize and show respect for all our area World War II American heroes, and to provide first person World War II history to citizens throughout our region. Both symposiums recognized and honored all the World War II veterans in our region, and each veteran was an VIP at the symposiums as they were all introduced on stage to the audience, and each veteran had his or her own table for them to meet and sign autographs for symposium attendees. Ken Wiley, HC Moretz, Dorian Moretz, and Terry Smith also worked together to bring World War II history to schools throughout Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee, during which Ken and HC spoke to students in school assemblies and classrooms throughout the region, thereby providing first-person historical knowledge of World War II to our young people. In summary, Terry Smith's goal of MTN leading with content, along with the dedicated work of MTN on a 365-day per year basis, resulted in MTN producing more hours of television content than any other television station in the United States. When Smith purchased MTN, the station had been broadcasting on only one cable network, and in only two counties. However, after his purchase of MTN, Smith worked very hard to build broadcast partnerships with numerous cable networks throughout the Southeast Region of the United States in order to expand MTN's broadcast reach. Through this relentless work, he was able to build MTN into a television station that broadcast to more than 1 million viewers on 16 cable networks in six states, including North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. MTN could also be seen on its over the air broadcast signal that reached a very wide broadcast area in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, and on WTBL-CD in Lenoir. These over the air and second station broadcasts, along with the 16 cable networks
