I thought the DX Assoc membership would enjoy the upcoming TV show.

Comedian Tim Allen stars as a radio amateur, Mike Baxter, KA0XTT, in the 
new ABC TV show Last Man Standing produced by John Amodeo NN6JA.

Tim Allen -- star of Home Improvement, Toy Story, The Santa Clause and 
Galaxy Quest, just to name a few -- stars in Last Man Standing, an ABC 
comedy airing at 8 PM (EST) on Tuesday nights.

Allen plays Mike Baxter, KA0XTT, a married father of three and the 
director of marketing at an outdoor sporting goods store in Colorado 
whose life is dominated by women. While Amateur Radio has not been 
prominently featured in the first episodes, according to John Amodeo, 
NN6JA -- the producer of Last Man Standing -- it is a part of the show 
and an important part of Mike’s character.

The episode that will establish Mike as a radio amateur is currently 
scheduled to air in mid-January.

In the show he uses an ICOM IC-9100 HF/6 meter/2 meter transceiver and 
an IC-92AD handheld transceiver.
