Come have some fun with us!

What do you think of when you think of Halloween? Scary haunted houses? Yummy candy? Great costumes? How about the annual Rag Shag Parade? This year the parade starts at 5:30PM on the common, downtown. We will be broadcasting the parade live and filming some of the additional festivities. This is a great chance to celebrate Halloween and see your favorite GCTV staff people in costume. Oh, and did I mention we'll be handing out treats? Please join us this Friday for all the Halloween fun.

P. S.---If any of you would like to help us with this shoot, please let us know. Thanks!

Tips & Tricks!

Every so often we will attempt to provide you with nifty bits of info. that can improve your productions. Today's tip of the day: always carry a flashlight in your producer's bag. Why? You never know when you may find yourself in the dark on a shoot. They are also handy for seeing dust on the camera lens. Don't know what else a producer's bag should contain? Stay tuned to this blog for more info. Have a great weekend! ---Alicia

Whew, it's been a busy day!

All four of our cameras have been checked out for the long weekend and five of our six computers were in use today. Producers have been in and out of the office all day long working on some interesting programs. Drew Hutchison interviewed Mark Maloni, of Community Action, this morning about Ballot Question #1. That interview will begin airing next week. Don't forget, if you have an idea you want to turn into a program, pick up the phone and call us or come on by. We'll teach you what you need to know to get started.

Help us to make this blog even better!

We hope you like the changes that have been made. Please let us know what you think and if there is anything you'd like added to this blog.

Also, speaking of comments, if you are one of our regular producers please fill out our survey the next time you are in our office. We want to make sure we've been doing well by you for the last 20 years and how we can keep going strong for the next 20.

In other office news, a lot of editing has been going on here this week so you can look forward to more new programming on Channel 15. "Elmer & the Elder Tree", a play for children, premiered today; a new musical comedy special featuring Drew Hutchison & Lenny Zarcone should be completed soon; and a show about district heating in Greenfield is being produced by Wendy Marsden, a volunteer for both Co-op Power and Greening Greenfield, with the kind assistance of Tom Roulston the producer of "Franklin County Matters".
