Whew! If you were to peruse our calendar for March 18-22, you'd see us involved with important events every day. In addition to WMCB DJs coming in to do their live radio shows throughout the week, we've got productions booked both in and outside of our studios.
On Monday, we have the group behind Live Spirits scheduled to pre-record their radio program, Franklin County Continuing the Political Revolution is planning on taping a new episode of Democracy Here, and our staff will be filming the Greenfield Planning Board Meeting at 7pm at the John Zon Community Center. As many of you know, we don't normally cover planning board meetings but we recognize that there is quite a bit of interest in this one because it will feature the board's deliberation on zoning changes related to the proposed compromise to build a new Greenfield Public Library. We can't broadcast the meeting live but we will work to make it available to watch online on Tuesday.
Something else we'll be working on, this Tuesday, is the 2019 Greenfield High School Music Parents Association Telethon, which will be taking place at Greenfield High School for the first time. From 6pm to 9pm, band and chorus students will take the stage to raise money for new uniforms, competition trips, and more. There are a lot of moving pieces involved in this endeavor and our production coordinator, Philippe, will probably be over at the high school for much of that day. Following the fundraiser, Philippe will bring all of our equipment back to the office and get it ready to go out again for our live broadcast of Wednesday night's Greenfield City Council Meeting.
But the fun doesn't stop there! The Richards Group will be holding a free OSHA training in our TV studio from 8am to 2:30pm on both Thursday and Friday. Our office coordinator and our executive director will both be attending as part of a packed house, since registration for the class is full. Meanwhile, Philippe will be over at Terrazza Ristorante, at the Country Club of Greenfield, capturing video of the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce Breakfast on Friday morning.
If you can't keep up with our busy schedule, don't worry. You'll be able to watch most of these events on Cable Channel 15, and www.gctv.org, soon after they happen, so be sure to tune in or check back!
