"Well, howdy there, you buckaroos! Welcome to Late Night With Don!" is how Don Yoder introduces his show.

Look out "Tonight Show" and "Late Night With David Letterman".
This is "Late Night With Don" hosted by Superior native Don Yoder which airs at the same time as the network's late shows.
Yoder doesn't think his cable access talk show is a competitor to the big boys of evening television.

"I think it is an alternative I have. I don't get up here and make fun of actors or actresses that are going through difficult times in their lives." says Don Yoder.

Don is a Marine Corps veteran and country and gospel singer who is back in the Northland after many years away.
His show is taped in Proctor and airs there and in the Twin Ports weeknights at 10:30 pm on cable access TV.
After two months of production, the show is catching on.

"The public reaction is good. People like to see local programming and I think it fills a void we've had in public access in this area and I think it's a fun show to work on." according to Peter Luke who runs Proctor's cable access TV channel.

Part of the fun comes from the wide array of guests Don interviews.
A typical show includes people like Pastor Keith Jeffries of Eagles Wings ministries and country singer Dottie Lou.
She had a Channel 6 TV show back in the 60's.

"It was called "Arrowhead Country". We had a guest with us every week doing country music." said Dottie Lou.

Don feels his talk show differs from the others he's up against due to its positive tone which he attributes to his religious faith.

He says, "Because there's so much negative news today. I want people to have a positive belief in life."
