Last night we had a lively and productive meeting at the Fletcher Memorial Library in Ludlow. First off, we would like to publicly thank the Library and its staff for making this great space available. We are thankful for the opportunity, since the LPCTV studio space in the school is too small for meetings. In addition to our regular montly board meetings (which are typically held on the last Weds of every month), we have begun holding separate building project meetings every other Tuesday at 5PM (the next one of these is scheduled for Tues., December 7th). These special meetings are attended by our board and staff, as well as a newly-appointed communtiy steering committee. Last night was the first time the new steering committee members joined us and I was enthused to hear all of the great ideas and willingness to pitch in.

With our upcoming move, LPCTV is in a transitional period, from the little TV station in the school to the one in a state-of-the-art media facility in the new community center.

If you'd like to join us in this effort, please get in touch!

More later...for now, happy Thanksgiving.

Underwriting is a low-cost alternative to advertising for local businesses. AND tt provides us with much needed revenue to conitnue putting local programming on the air, around the clock 24/7, 365 days per year.

With 2011 right around the corner, it's that time again...time to plug undewriting. We are asking all local businesses to consider becoming underwriters, and for our current underwriters to consider renewing.

How does it work?

It's pretty simple. A business makes a tax-deductible donation to LPCTV and in reutn is thanked endlessly, on the air on Channels 8 & 10, on this site (see left sidebar for a list of this year's underwriters), and in our printed materials.

For more information or for underwiting rates, please check the "Underwriting" page on this site.

Help keep local programming flowing. Become an underwriter today.

On Saturday LPCTV participated in the Ludlow Rotary Club's Annual Chili Cook-off event. It was well- attended and a lot of fun. Many thanks to our Board member Lois Brown and her husband Jim Wallis for all of their leg work, preparing & serving their famous "Texas Roadhouse" chili recipe.

Lois created recipe cards, handing them out to cook-off attendees. By request here is that recipe card:

 

 

With just a  few weeks to go before the general election, LPCTV is calling out to community members who are interested in helping to inform voters by bringing candidate debates and forums on TV.

 

The single-most valuable service we can offer in our studio is the live call-in show. It's powerful...and it's a great tool for the Election season, giving a way for live, on-the-spot interaction between candidates and the voting public. It offers community members an opportunity to participate by asking questions and commenting - and hearing the responses- right then and there, giving a sense of immediacy to a show.

 

While LPCTV does offer “going live” from its studio, a show can be recorded and broadcast at a later date. There is a wide variety of options for people who want to get involved. But that's the key...to get invovled.

LPCTV’s Election Coverage 2010 is underway, with Windsor-Rutland-1 candidate for State Representative Brigid Faenza taking the first step, coming onto the set of LPCTV recently to talk about her campaign. Dennis Devereux is due in this Wednesday to do the same. In addition, LPCTV has begun broadcasting election programming from around the state, featuring candidate forums and debates for statewide and national office. We'll be broadcasting more throughout the next few weeks, courtesy of our colleagues at community TV stations throughout Vermont, but what we really want to see is more local involvement. 

 

 

There was a great letter-to-the-editor published in local papers last week, written by Mount Holly resident Francis DeVine. Here's an excerpt:

"We are deep in the election season, and we should be taking advantage of a great local resource.  (Community TV stations such as LPCTV) should be actively used as a forum for the candidates to debate...It would certainly help me, and other voters, make an informed decision in a very important election year."

 

Those interested should call LPCTV at 228-8808 or email Cody at pcody@lpctv.org.
