Channel 7 Song Lyrics

 The Easter Seals Children's Choir performed some great music for us today.  We were honored to have them perform a song they wrote just for Channel 7.  
Enjoy the lyrics below!

Channel 7, you help to get us out of bed.
Morning Traffic and weather with Ned.

For the best live interviews, and everything that you’d ever want
Tune it to 7 and get it from Beth Hunt

Channel  7 is the best
The spirit of Arkansas
Keep it on 7, in winter, summer, spring, and fall

Channel 7, you help to get us through the day.
Barry Brandt, and Melinda May……OOOOO

For the best news of all sorts
And Here’s Steve Sullivan with the Sports
TOUCHDOWN ARKANSAS!!  The best place for the Hogs

Channel  7 is the best
The spirit of Arkansas
Keep it on 7, in winter, summer, spring, and fall

Dynamic Voices Easter Seals Choir

Today the Dynamic Voices Easter Seals Choir performed for us. One of their songs was written by them especially for KATV. We'll share the lyrics and video later today. It's always such a treat to have them with us!
