The first episode of Free Keene TV is live and the show is just getting started. Airing Mondays at 7:00pm EST on Cheshire TV, currently channel 8 in the Keene-area and also on the Cheshire TV Ustream Channel on the internet. Covering the recent incident between Ademo and Judge Burke, a property tax resister in Bondsville, Massachusetts and the start to a community voices segment featuring Mike Clark of Keene. Feel free to check out the video here:
I started this project in mid-March, 2011 and it has taken a lot of effort to get the show to this point. The all volunteer crew and cast has come together for many practice sessions as each individual learns the particular role they are in. Many of the people involved, including myself, have never done such a thing as create and run an independent TV news show. Cheshire TV and its staff has been a great help in getting the show up to speed.
As the show progresses I hope to see more and more interaction with the community at large and a broader focus. At the moment there are a great deal of stories that feature activism due to recent events and interactions. While activist footage and events make for great news, I don’t want to focus solely on that.
There is a great deal more that I’d like to see done with the show and we will keep increasing the level of quality, expanding the coverage and investigating more topics with each episode. If you would like to be involved or if you have some news tips or comments, please feel free to email me at tv@freekeene.com.
