Weekly Wrap-up #2

Tah dah! As promised, here is the second installment of our series informing you about the past week at GCTV:

Pleasant sounds filled our office this week. On Monday night "Valley Homegrown" showcased a talented singer/songwriter from Boston, Thea Hopkins, whose American Short Story Folk Music has earned praise from many---including the iconic group Peter, Paul, & Mary. If you missed it, when it aired live at 7PM, be sure to catch the re-run tonight at 9PM or next Saturday, April 3rd, at 10PM.

Thursday caught one of our independent producers pulling double duty. Beth Adams, host of "We Are the Ones" on Cable Channel 15 and "The Singing Wilderness" on WMCB 107.9FM, produced both of her shows back to back. She began in our radio studio where her guest, musician Helen Fortier, sang and played her guitar live for the listening audience. Afterward, the two made their way to our television studio. Helen performed several songs and then sat down with Beth for an in-depth interview.

In addition to our in-studio musical acts, there were two government related productions this week that GCTV Staff covered in the field. On Tuesday night, Owen took a couple of cameras over to Greenfield High School to document a presentation by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. Then, on Thursday night, Philippe returned there for a Greenfield School Committee Meeting featuring three architectural Power Point Slideshows. The DOT Forum will be broadcast tonight at 5PM and the school committee will re-air tomorrow at 1PM.

Well, those are the highlights from this week. Be sure to check in next Friday for more. Oh, and don't forget that this coming Thursday is April 1st. Will we have some silliness on air and on this blog in honor of that special day? Perhaps. You'll have to see our TV schedule, and come back here, to find out.
