REACH WIN 26 May the new year bring you new opportunities. I want to begin by thanking you for your support of Consolidated in 2025. We’re honored to keep you connected to what matters most. As 2026 begins, I hope you and your families get to enjoy new experiences, new technology, and new growth. In this issue, you’ll find plenty of inspiration. On page 3, you’re encouraged to Stay Motivated with Goal Tracking Apps as you work to be successful with New Year’s resolutions. Then on pages 4 and 5, we answer the question many of you have asked us: Why Do TV Bills Keep Going Up? Consolidated and other TV distributors face huge challenges from broadcasters who use blackouts to force us to pay ever-increasing fees. I think you’ll find this behind-thescenes look fascinating, and I hope it prompts you to make your voice heard in protest. If you have high school or college students in your life, don’t miss Consolidated Scholarship Opportunities on page 6 and FRS Scholarship Program for College or Vocational School on page 7. Funds are available to help our local youth further their educations. Since community is at the heart of what we do at Consolidated, we’ve highlighted a couple of recent activities. On page 6, we say Thank You To Our Photo Contest Participants, and on page 8, we list the Winners of the 2025 Great Pumpkin Hunt. We can’t wait to see what 2026 will bring. Please let our team know how we can help you. Sincerely, Bryan W. Personne CEO/General Manager Consolidated
