This week we had nine shoots on our schedule and a lot of footage to edit. Between Monday and Tuesday we had three candidates in to record their video statements for our website and Mayor Martin invited Town Council President Tim Farrell into our studio for a chat on Tuesday afternoon. Thursday was our day for location shoots; our New Media Producer taped interviews with planners of the upcoming National Prescription Drug Takeback Day (you'll be hearing more about that on our homepage next week) at a breakfast with Northwestern District Attorney Dave Sullivan, volunteer Tom L. headed over to Town Hall in order to cover the emergency town council meeting regarding the preliminary election (check out the story that's on our homepage right now), and Philippe broadcast the Greenfield School Committee meeting live. Friday was not a slow day either as our Station Manager began his workday first thing in the morning filming the latest Franklin County Chamber of Commerce Breakfast and Joe Gochinski brought two State Representatives (William "Smitty" Pignatelli of the 4th Berkshire District & Brian Ashe of the 2nd Hampden District) in for conversations in the afternoon. Meanwhile, the staff has been editing the seven sessions of last weekend's Creative Economy Summit, that even a Shelburne Falls-wide power outage couldn't stop us from getting on camera, and the Greenfield Planning Board Meeting from March 17th.
In other news, be sure to keep an eye out here, on our channel, and our website for some festive foolishness next Friday.

Works in Progress
Like most television stations we have to multi-task so here are updates on some of our current projects:
Getting ready for Greenfield's Town Election---One of the three candidates for councilor at large, who will be on the preliminary election ballot on April 19th if the state legislature doesn't allow the town to put them all on the one in June, has already sent in their information and recorded their video candidate statement and the other two will be in on Monday. This way, we'll be ready to go as soon as we hear about the state's decision.
The bulk of the construction in the back room is finished---The door needs a window, an electrician will be coming in soon, and the staff will be applying paint but it definitely feels like a great space. Check out the pics below or stop in and see for yourself!
Our station manager has been upgrading the control room again---We've added a distribution amplifier, new DVD burners, and gotten the speakers over the switcher working. All of these improvements will provide a better experience for producers and a higher quality end product. Oh, and we've also replaced the old lavalier microphones in the studio. Any of you who use the clip on mics will definitely want to check these sleek new ones out when you come in for your next production.
Productions---Mayor Martin stopped by to be interviewed by Dr. Andrew Blais on the latest episode of "Local Bias" and both our station manager and our new media producer will be filming sessions at the "Creative Economy Summit" today.
