GCTV Programming Goes International Again!

How cool is this? As the Executive Producer and Director of Baystate Franklin Medical Center's "Healthbeat" were leaving our office on Wednesday, they mentioned that at least one episode of their show had been watched in India. Back in October a BFMC Stroke Specialist, Dr. Rajiv Padmanabhan, was featured on a segment about neurology. After finding out that we upload each episode of the program to our website's Video on Demand Player, Dr. Padmanabhan emailed the link to his relatives in India. Evidently, they gathered quite a few friends and relatives together, plugged their computer into a big screen TV, and had a blast.

In other news, you may have noticed that our logo is now on the bottom right corner of Cable Channel 15 around the clock. We were very excited recently to purchase a downstream graphics generator that enables us to have that "bug" on the screen 24/7. Next time you're channel surfing you won't be able to miss GCTV. :)

Hopefully, you also didn't miss the wonderful article that The Republican published about us on Sunday. Cori Urban wrote a great profile highlighting our important role as a medium for citizens to express themselves and stay on top of local issues. Read the piece for yourself on masslive.com.

Finally, we'd like to congratulate WMCB DJ/Host of "Speciocracy" Marian Kelner. Her book "As A Sailboat Seeks the Wind", a volume full of poetry, essays, and short stories, was published last month by Booksmyth Press. When asked about her accomplishment Marian gushed, "it's wonderful to be able to share my ideas and experiences with people in an easily accessible and engaging format".
