About Western Edge

Interesting conversations, with interesting people, about interesting things

North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame media director Bill Palanuk has teamed with Consolidated Telcom’s Ron Rhodes and they have created a new 30 minute television show titled Western Edge Living. The show, presented by CHI St Alexius Health Dickinson currently airs on Consolidated Channel 18 at 7PM MDT Wednesday evenings with repeat broadcasts Thursday afternoons as well as on social media. The show also airs statewide on West Dakota FOX at 9:30 MDT Sunday mornings. This fall, it will be a lead in for Fox NFL Sunday.
The audio portion of Western Edge Living airs Sunday mornings at 6AM on The MIX – 105.7FM in Dickinson.

The mission of the show is to give the residents of western North Dakota a voice for newsmakers, non-profits, groups and organizations who essentially bring our communities together. Also offered is an invitation to small businesses who have been in business less than a year with an opportunity to tell the world they’re stories. Western Edge Living features weekly news and highlights from the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame, Historic Medora and The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library.

The show is recorded weekly at the studios of Consolidated Telcom. Past guests include Cherie Roshau with the SW Art Gallery and Science Center, Joel Walters with Dickinson’s Legacy Square, Theodore Roosevelt/Joe Weigand with the Medora Musical and TR Medora Foundation, Jolene Obrigewitch with Home on the Range, Kelly Braun with Make a Wish and many others.

Along with presenting sponsor CHI St Alexius Health Dickinson, the show is also supported by Medora Boot and Western Wear, Service Pros Express Lube of Dickinson, Alliance Center for Hearing of Bismarck and Pancheros Mexican Restaurant, also of Bismarck.
