He would like to let as many people know about <br />our .■'ervices as possible and are hoping you will help us with <br />our efforts* <br />Community television in our area means locally produced <br />programming or programming submitted for cablecasting by a local <br />resident or organisation. This programming can be found on <br />Triax's Channel 20. Currently, you will see city council <br />meetings, school board meetings, interview programs, talk-show <br />programs featuring a variety of guests and hosts. In addition, <br />you will see sports, children's entertainment and much more. <br />These programs are produced by local residents and organisations <br />who have participated in a training workshop that provided them <br />with skills and equipment to make these programs s reality. The <br />studios offering this training and equipment are provided by the <br />cable company, Triax Cablevision, as part of the franchise <br />agreement with the city or commission serving the city. These <br />studios are funded by franchise fees paid to the city or <br />commission on a yearly basis. <br />If your organisation or city publishes a newsletter, has a <br />community information bulletin board or keeps on file <br />information about local community services and opportunities, <br />would you please include the attached information in that <br />distribution? This information will remain current and can be <br />used during the next few months or until you receive an updated <br />announcement. <br />Five of the studios in our area -- Excelsior, Orono, Waysata, <br />Mound and Haconia -- are currently working together to produce a <br />quarterly newsletter that will also be distributed to you. Ho <br />hope you will make that information available to interested <br />persons, too. <br />If you have any questions regarding the enclosed information or <br />questions about community television in general, please call one <br />of the studio managers listed on the PSA.
