@bruce4nv We apologize that the TV at Bow Creek Rec Center was changed from its usual setting. TVs should remain on our informational screens, and we’re taking steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

@VBParksRec the gym TV at Bow Creek Rec center really should not be on Christian Broadcasting Network
