This Week at GCTV

Monday night's "Valley Homegrown" shoot was interesting. If you watched the live broadcast, and wondered why it was shorter than normal, we have the answer. One of the musicians broke a guitar string and the show had to stop so she could fix it. In addition, there were some audio issues during the program so we will be airing an old episode of the same band, Lovewhip, tonight at 9PM.

On Tuesday, the mayor came in to record his show but decided to change things up a bit. Instead of his honor answering questions from the public, and then speaking with a guest about Greenfield events or government, Mayor Martin was himself interviewed by none other than WHAI Morning Show Host Jay Fidanza. It was a no-holds barred interview where Jay was allowed to ask whatever he wanted inspiring the mayor to reply in a frank, and sometimes humorous, way. You can watch this discussion on Monday at 2PM, or anytime on our Video on Demand Player. Be sure to listen for the moment when Mayor Martin describes himself as a "moderate radical".

The Town Council Meeting broadcast live from our studio on Wednesday night. This contained the capital budget votes and was the final meeting for some councilors. On Thursday, July 1st, the winners of the recent election will be sworn in and new council officers will be elected at an organizational meeting on July 7th. We'll have more information on both of these events soon so make sure to check our homepage regularly.

Drew Hutchison would like folks to know that his guest on "Local Bias" next week will be Franklin County Register of Probate John Merrigan. Mr. Merrigan will handicap county & statewide political races and discuss the fallout from our recent town election. They had a good time in the studio on Thursday morning, when they taped this show, ably assisted by Susan Laing & Jimmie Bailey.

Today is fairly quiet, Drew will be in to edit "Local Bias" this afternoon but mostly we'll be catching our breath and getting ready for next week.
