You think! For years I've been asking both the council and the BOE, not to mention Tom Gilmore, Chico and anyone else in positions of power to do just this, put the meetings, events, etc., on the web / TV. You can't make this stuff up, the things that go on at meetings and the entertainment is fabulous. But there was no support from the community to have an APTV on public access. And my show was already full so I couldn't continue to do this venture alone. I just couldn't afford to do all the work alone and nobody even watched or uploaded or let me know how I was doing. Maureen and Pete have helped a great deal to promote my show,especially around elections, but I needed more help from the community and nobody wanted to help run 2 shows... Glad the BOE has a new website now, maybe they'll let the students in on the action! Learn a skill, see a dream unfold, get a job, invest in their future as journalist, radio announcers, or even broadcast journalism, instead of dieing of boredom. Shangazi, MSPTV77 Producer

I was tired of getting minutes of meetings that did not have an accurate account of what transpired, and audio tape that either dissapeared or was inaudible. I have with great success built a web site that shows the council meetings at www.longbranch.tv - Having been doing this as a private project and not a business, I just thought you all should know, it's not a major venture. It just takes someone willing to attend every meeting and spend the time to transfer the film to digital file and upload it to a web site.
