This will be our last weekly wrap-up post on this blog because next week we'll be launching our new website. Though we loved using Blogger to write these weekly updates for our community, one benefit of our new site is a blogging feature. From here on out, you can check gctv.org on Fridays to find out what we've been up to---simply click on the blog link near the top of our homepage. We won't take down this blog, however, so if you're feeling nostalgic you can always come back here and read our older posts.
This week we were very busy helping to disseminate information about storm damage, putting the finishing touches on our new site, planning for the Franklin County Fair Parade, and assisting a multitude of producers with their shows.
As you can imagine, our producers were busy too. The highlight of the week was when Dave Roulston, host of "Franklin County Matters", interviewed 2nd Berkshire District State Representative Paul Mark. You'll be able to watch that interview on Cable Channel 15 soon and we took advantage of Representative Mark being in our studio to get his thoughts on redistricting (check out the story on our homepage for more). Other new shows to look for soon include episodes of "Reading Shakespeare" (Tom Roulston takes on the Scottish play) and two classes from the Greenfield YMCA.
That's it for now, make sure to check out our new website next week (the launch is set to coincide with the fair parade on Thursday but we'll announce it on our Facebook Page, and in the local forums we post to, when it's up) and let us know what you think about it.

Budgets, Politics, The Environment, & Shakespeare
Seven shoots took place in our studio this week beginning on Tuesday with Berkshire Middle District Register of Deeds, and former State Senator, Andrea F. Nuciforo Jr. sitting down with Joe Gochinski on the set of "The Western Mass Democrat" for a lively conversation. Immediately following their taping, the studio was prepped for that evening's live Ways & Means Committee meeting. The meeting went quite late as the councilors learned all they could about the budgets for the Franklin County Technical School and the Greenfield Public School System.
The following evening the committee wrapped up their sessions, spending three hours deliberating and making recommendations to the full council. Earlier that day, the crew of "We are the Ones" took some time to record a special anti-nuclear power roundtable discussion that will air on Cable Channel 15 sometime this summer.
On Thursday and Friday, actor and director Tom Roulston played to our cameras once again in order to begin recording "Macbeth" for his new series "Reading Shakespeare". We expect Tom's performance this morning to be followed by a "The Western Mass Democrat" interview this afternoon to finish out our busy week of shoots.
Two final notes:
The Greenfield Town Council will be voting on the town's 2012 Operating Budget when they meet at 6PM on Wednesday, June 8th. You can catch up on the budget process by watching the Ways & Means Committee Budget Hearings on our Video on Demand Player, in the "Local Government" Category.
Greenfield's Town Election will be June 14th and Massachusetts' legislative re-districting process is ongoing. Find out more about both of these by checking out the stories and links on our homepage.

News & Notes
Greenfield's Town Election will be June 14th and our candidate information page is now live on gctv.org. Click on over to find out who the candidates are and how they plan to work hard for the town by checking out pictures, bios, and video statements from them. For those of you who have asked us about debates, between the two candidates for councilor at large and between the three candidates running for school committee, one will take place in our studio this coming Wednesday, May 25th at 7pm. It is open to the public so come on down!
In other news---another new, locally-produced, show is joining our lineup. We promised you last week that we'd tell you more about how Shakespeare's plays will be gracing our airwaves. Life-long thespian, and active producer, Tom Roulston's new program "Reading Shakespeare" premieres at 5PM on Friday, May 27th, with a dramatic reading of "As You Like It". Over the course of the series Tom will read the bard's famous plays, an act or two at a time, while the script scrolls down one side of the screen.
Last week we also shared with you the fact that we would be saying goodbye to our part-time production assistant Otis Wheeler. We are happy to report that we will be welcoming his capable replacement, Ian Bauer, next week. Ian will be working three days a week helping producers with their projects.
Finally, a sad note about one of the FreeSpeech TV productions that we've been airing; the folks at "Grit TV" have stopped producing a daily news program. You can watch host Laura Flanders' goodbye message to fans by visiting this link: http://grittv.org/?p=16029.
