Well, a couple of snowstorms can't keep a good station down. Despite the weather, a lot of work got done around here this week: our former intern, Simeon, has returned to GCTV as a volunteer producing news stories for our website; we've been hosting a one-week high-school intern who's been working on a piece that we plan to upload to our homepage either today or Monday; Jamie Berger of "The Thrive Project" sat down with Dr. Andrew Blais for an in-depth conversation on "Local Bias"; Greenfield's Town Council held a joint meeting with the school committee as part of their regularly scheduled meeting in our studio on Wednesday night; and, finally, the producer of the "Sy's Fund" documentary used one of our editing suites to re-shape her program.
Those of you who watched our coverage of the town council meeting may have noticed a couple of new things during Wednesday night's broadcast. When we re-did our control room last year, our new switcher came with built in graphics. As everyone was getting used to the new cameras and other equipment, we decided to continue using our old graphic computer for the time being. Now, however, we've begun using the new system which is proving to be more convenient, more flexible, and faster. We've also upgraded our set pieces for local government meetings and, though we haven't quite finished rolling them out, viewers got a look at them for the first time during the meeting because that's what the Greenfield School Committee was sitting behind. The new tables are easier to move and store, throw less glare into the cameras, and provide more convenient access to microphones.
On a programming note this week, we hope you enjoyed the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day related shows we've been airing. Programs like "The Life & Death of Martin Luther King, Jr.", Greenfield Community College's "Living the Dream" ceremony, and "I Have a Dream" celebrate and honor this important American. If you missed them, we'll be replaying GCC's "The Life & Death of Martin Luther King, Jr." at 3pm on Tuesday.
