Customers can easily pull up the apps with their TV remote from the menu screen by selecting Extras, then Apps. The News app displays headlines from a variety of sources, including Google, CNN and Fox News and local headlines from local network affiliates KATC and KLFY (no word yet on local print publications). The Weather app provides a quick look at the current weather conditions and three-day forecast for most U.S. cities (searchable by zip code). The Message app relays info and updates on LUS Fiber services and promotions.
"These applications are the first in a series of apps we are working to bring to our customers," states LUS Director Terry Huval in a press release.

Because LUS Fiber is a community-owned network, we will continue to look for opportunities to provide new and innovative features to our customers - the citizens of Lafayette."
