Director’s Report
The Channel 21 Program Lottery and Annual Picnic were held Friday, August 3, with about 30 people in attendance. Tier One is almost full; there is still some space in Tier Two.
The following day (Saturday) WCTV offered production workshops free of charge. Six people took the class.
John, Mark Linderman, and City Clerk Karen Chasteen spoke to the Wayne County Commissioners regarding the live feed situation. John will continue to work with them to help them get more satisfactory results.
WCTV was contacted by the Hometown Sport Network, which is looking for affiliates to broadcast regional college sports. He will report back at the next meeting.
New intern Michael Gibbs from I.U. East will start next week.
John met with representatives from SIFE to discuss the auction. SIFE would like to partner with us more fully than last year. After discussion with the Executive Committee, it was decided that WCTV is interested in that arrangement if we can spell out what SIFE will be responsible for, and if they will step up and take on more specific tasks this year.
John noted the death of Mel Martin, producer of Glory Bound. WCTV has sent condolences.
Old Business
There was no old business brought to the table.
New Business
Dave Burns discussed issues with the TBCs in the headend. John reported that they are not currently being used and a suitable replacement was being sought.
Dave also urged citizen action to protect PEG access during the upcoming national franchise agreement discussions.
Dave brought up the University Channel, and voiced concerns about programming that is available through it. John said that WCTV is under no obligation to broadcast programs from UC, and that he picks programs for WCTV that he feels are of value to the community and reflect community standards. John will prepare a list of programs from UC that WCTV has broadcast, and the Board will discuss at a future meeting.
Good of the Order
John Dalton recognized and thanked those who had put in extra help during a busy few weeks at WCTV, including Ed Hoffman and Nick Poling.
