“For many years AETN has worked to make the Governor's State of the State address available live to all Arkansans, and we are proud to do so once again,” AETN Executive Director Allen Weatherly said. “In addition, we will provide a copy of the speech to CSPAN for national coverage.

 “We believe this is part of our ongoing commitment to quality of life in our state through our commitment to education.”

During the course of the 2013 legislative session, AETN will also broadcast the Arkansas House of Representatives session live on AETN Plus (AETN-3) beginning Monday, Jan. 14. The general session will begin at approximately 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. Friday until mid-April, although the actual times and duration of the session will be determined by the speaker of the house.
