This Weekend at WCTV

I wanted to remind you of some upcoming events this Friday and Saturday at WCTV.

Tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. is our 4th Annual Summer Picnic, to be held at Hayes Hall on the IU East campus. We would like to thank Meijer, Kroger, and the American Legion Post 65 Auxiliary for their support of this event.

For interested local producers, we will again draw the Channel 21 Program Lottery at 5 p.m. at the station, just prior to the picnic.

Local producers should have received their lottery letters by now. If you have not received a letter, or if you would like to be considered for a Channel 21 time slot, please contact me. Our primetime (Tier One) Channel 21 schedule is currently full, so be sure you have returned your materials to ensure your program will be included in tomorrow’s drawing.

As part of WCTV’s 20th Anniversary celebration, we are hosting a local PSA Day, where local not-for-profits can record free public service announcements. During the picnic, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., we will have our studio open with lights, camera, audio, teleprompter, and helpful staff to assist area not-for-profits in recording free thirty-second announcements to be aired on WCTV.

We have had a number of questions about the PSA event. If you would like to know more, feel free to contact me at 973-8488.

Saturday morning we will be offering our 2nd Annual free Video Bootcamp at the studio, beginning at 9 a.m. We will be teaching field and studio production in the morning, break for lunch, and begin iMovie and Final Cut nonlinear editing beginning at 1 p.m.

These free workshops came in response to requests from producers interested in improving their skills, but are also open to the community as a whole as part of our ongoing outreach intended to empower more grassroots video efforts in our community.

We hope you will join us this weekend at WCTV. And again, thank you for your ongoing interest in Whitewater Community Television.
