Holiday Open House and Awards Ceremony

Join the students of the COS Media Department and the MCTV 15 family to celebrate our volunteers and producers at this annual event. Recorded and/or aired live, awards will be presented for best student production, best community production, outstanding volunteer awards and facility tours. Refreshments will be served.

Annual Report 2008-2009

The report will be distributed to city officials in south County as part of the agreements SMC has with the cities for receiving a pass through of a percentage of franchise fees collected from Northland Cable subscribers. County supervisors will also receive a copy to assist in their understanding of the scope of services SMC provides in support of Public Access television. As yet, the County has not passed through any funding from franchise fees collected in support of Public Access.

“All volunteer efforts went in to compiling the information for the report,” says Executive Director, Audra Gibson. “Our database system allows us to track users, donors, show information and much more. The finished product serves as a comprehensive look at Siskiyou Media Council and our two business units: MCTV 15 and Professional Production Services. Silicon Sorcery did a great job on design and presentation. Those taking the time to learn more about us will see we are much more than just MCTV Channel 15.”

SMC board President, Greg Messer, states “We will use this tool to promote our mission, thank our volunteers, for board recruitment, grant requests and to offer more services to the community.” For more information, view the report at mctv15.org or call 938-5910.

Professional Production Services aka PROPS

"It's a New Day" is a promotional piece for the COS Foundation, produced by Sandra Vaughn with the assistance of her crew, Sean Marshall, Bill Pool, John Cumming, John Veltri, Caitlin Moore, and Trevor Scott. The video was shot on location on campus, and around Siskiyou County. It features COS President, Randall Lawrence and interviews that describe the "power of partnership" between our community at large and the college. Puts the "community" in to "community college". Great job everyone! We anticipate that the COS Foundation will submit the program for airing on Channel 15 in the near future.

Watch for news about another project in the works with Siskiyou Arts Council.

On the Move

For many years the cablecast equipment has been located in Mt.Shasta above the police station. From that location, all our local shows, the electronic bulletin board and our satellite feeds were mixed together and sent out via Northland cable's channel 15.

The planned move to the Weed campus of the College of the Siskiyous has been in the works for over a year. Being located at our studio on the college campus has many advantages, having all of MCTV 15's operations centrally located makes it easier to maintain and have volunteers assist with programming. In the near future we will have the ability to provide a live cablecast with call-in capability.

This is a major development for our community media television in south Siskiyou County. I want to thank all our partners for their shared vision in this project. Northland Cable Television has provided the infrastructure to make all this possible. The City of Weed for working with Northland cable in establishing a franchise agreement that benefits us all. College of the Siskiyous for their work in sharing the television production facilites with MCTV 15. The MCTV 15 volunteers for their tireless dedication. Together we are making our community a better place!

Outage

Some times advances is technology can have you picking up the pieces. That is what happened when a routine software upgrade broke the Media Servers ability to play back shows at the scheduled time. The only solution was to rewrite and after nearly 40 hours of intense software development, John Cumming (MCTV15's volunteer tech guru) has a brand new Media Server up and running.

All your local shows are now back on schedule. I hope you can handle it!

MCTV 15 Receives Legacy Fund Grant for Production Assistance to Non-Profits!!!

The MCTV 15 studio is located on the campus of the College of the Siskiyous in Weed, where equipment is made available to the public at moderate fees for productions. The Legacy Grant Funds will be used to supplement the payment of fees for non-profits who may need financial assistance to “get their message across” the Northland Cable TV network to area subscribers.

MCTV 15’s mission is to encourage and support the use of media for sharing thoughts, opinions and events by and for the people of Siskiyou County. The station employs one part time office manager and has a growing list of volunteers and producers who have varying levels of competency operating the video equipment. Many of the volunteers are graduates of COS Media Department classes. MCTV receives many requests to “make a show” for non-profit organizations. By receiving this grant, they can now provide financial assistance to groups wishing to produce marketing pieces or event film footage.

The Mt. Shasta Community Legacy Fund is a project of the Mt. Shasta Chamber of Commerce Community Partners and is managed by the Shasta Regional Community Foundation.

Interested non-profit organizations may contact MCTV 15 at or via e-mail to board@mctv15.org. for more information about applying for available funds and cost of productions. You can also visit their web site at mctv15.org.

Donations needed to keep "Democracy Now!" on channel 15.

The continued consolidation of media into the hands of a few large corporations threatens the American democratic process so dependent on a free press. 57-year-old listener sponsored Pacifica Radio (which produces Democracy Now!) remains an open vehicle for essential public debate and dissent.

You might not be aware that there has been an ongoing campaign for Jefferson “Public” Radio to carry Democracy Now! on their services. Regardless of the huge volume of public requests to carry this program, they continue to refuse. It is because of this censorship that I pursued finding another way to make this available for our local community. Fortunately for the people in our area with cable television, we are able to watch this outstanding, free speech, investigative journalism program.

Your donation goes into a separate fund to support keeping Democracy Now! on MCTV 15. Every year we need to pay $336.00 to DISH network to keep our satellite source for Democracy Now! (DISH Channel 9415) activated. Please note that the $336.00 only goes to DISH to keep our subscription active with none of that going to Pacifica to help offset their production costs. Donations to help the production of the program are also needed. Please go to www.democracy . for details.

On a related note, Amy Goodman will be participating in an upcoming Public Forum, being hosted by the ACLU Foundation of Oregon and it's Southern Oregon Chapter at SOU's Britt Auditorium Friday, October 6th at 7:30 pm. The panelists include: Amy Goodman (NYC), Bob Hunter (Medford), Robert Scheer (L.A.), and Ralph Temple (Ashland). Tickets will go on sale August 15th at the Northwest Nature Shop, Peace House, and online at www.aclu-or.org

Thanks so much for your donations. They are greatly appreciated. Please help spread the word about the program being on MCTV – 15 and our need for contributions to keep it going.

Siskiyou County Candidates on MCTV15

Candidates Forum Editing in Progress

Over 8 hours of source material was recorded and needs to be edited into a two hour show. John Arno from the College of the Siskiyous together with John Cumming have almost completed this mammoth task.

To complete the editing task most of the source material was transferred to a computer editing system. For the video this is a real-time process. 6 hours of video takes 6 hours to get into the computer. The editing process was carried out using a customized version of Sony Vegas. Silicon Sorcery provided the extra customization software that made it possible to edit the project in just over 4 hours. It would have taken an estimated 40 hours of editing without this custom software. The openning titles and closing credits together with onscreen canadidates names is expected to take another 2 hours of editing. The computer will then take approximately 3 hours to render and master the work on to a DVD. This final process is expected to completed on Thursaday afternoon. Expect to see the show on MCTV 15 television this Saturday. Additional covergae is expected on Yreka's public access channel. Check TV Schedule for show times. Copies are always availale for a small fee. Call us to reserve yours at 938-5910.

Diana Becomes A Leader Contributor

MCTV 15 is delighted to announce a $1,000 donation from Diana Limjoco Pollard, CFO and partner of Digital Web Group,Inc. in Tucson, Arizona that was used for funding the facilitation of a board and volunteer strategic planning session for the non-profit organization's development.

Diana is the founding president of MCTV 15, and is a continuing supporter from out of state. Diana moved on to Tucson, Arizona while maintaining her home in Mt. Shasta. She is well known and respected in Mt. Shasta for her civic achievements as a top fund raiser for the 4th of July Annual fireworks event, and she founded, and for three years, funded, the now successful MCTV Channel 15, Public Access station serving south Siskiyou County at the College of the Siskiyous. She made the public very aware of the station when she put on the live on the streets weekly TV, MCTV-Real TV.

“I will NEVER forget putting in the one lonely tape every Sunday before we got the automatic switcher. It all started in a closet in the basement of the Community Center, and now look at it.... it's one of the best things I have done in my life and the most rewarding,” she recalls.

After she moved to Tucson in 2003, a friend asked her to help him with a website www.nubra.net, Diana in her usual fashion, jumped in feet first and marketed the products on her friend's website using top placement in search engines and her TV media skills to promote to the tune of 1 million dollars sales in 8 months. The dynamic duo decided to form a corporation and keep it going. With their combined skills Dave Dewbre and Diana Limjoco Pollard now run Digital Webgroup, Inc, a diversified multimedia, Ecommerce company. For more information visit www.nubra.net

The MCTV 15 board and volunteers at strategic planning session at McConnell Foundation's Lema Ranch in Redding are pictured below with facsimile of $1,000 check from Diana Pollard, who is pictured below the MCTV board photo.

MCTV15 Receives
McConnell Community Foundation Grant

Grant Kicks Off MCTV 15 Season

A recently acquired $10,000 grant from the Mc Connell? Foundation fund at the Community Foundation will help MCTV 15 usher in its fourth season of community television programming.
When it began broadcasting, the station had virtually no revenue base, board of directors president Neva Barnett said.
“We're a non-profit 501(c)(3) that is donation based rather than membership based,” Barnett said.
MCTV 15 is now recognized on the city budgets of Dunsmuir, Mount Shasta and Weed and receives support from various individuals in the community, board member Penn Martin said the grant is a very important part of this year's funding.
“The grant is earmarked for equipment. It will be used to purchase cameras and editing equipment,” he said.
John Cummings, the current volunteer program director and technical innovator for MCTV 15, said the station couldn't afford to buy certain pieces of new equipment when it was first set up.
He said the grant money will allow the station to purchase, among other items, a four channel switcher and a new camera with features designed to make it user friendly for the volunteer staff at the station.
Programming on the local channel has grown from the airing of one locally produced show during the first season to an array of regular shows such as “How to...” and “Real TV.”
Those shows will begin this year's broadcasting on September 7th.
A new cooking show called “Cheffin',” produced by Martin, will join the line up this season.
The MCTV 15 channel also carries a public access electronic bulletin board which includes such information as local government meeting times and agendas, area events and snow removal day schedules, and information about who's who in local government.
In addition, the station provides a live telecast of the Weed, Mount Shasta and Dunsmuir city council meetings and recorded showings weekly at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Wednesdays of the most recent Mc Cloud Community Services District board meeting.
Until six months ago, the station broadcasted the same programming every day for one week periods. Now every day's programming is different.
“We're balancing local, high quality programming with alternative shows that might not be available on network channels,” said Martin.
Since its inception, Cumming reported, 260 shows have been submitted to MCTV 15, of which 144 have been locally produced.
Barnett credits Northland Cable with a measure of the station's growth and success.
“Northland Cable has been instrumental in helping us by growing cable TV access in the area,” she said. “When we began, we could be viewed only in Mount Shasta. Now, all south county homes with cable television have the option.”
More good news for MCTV 15, according to the board, is the imminent resolution of talks with the College of the Siskiyous about relocating the station from its current donated studio space on Main Street in Weed to the college's television studio facilities in the library building on the Weed campus.
“A goal of one of our founders, Diana Pollard, was to help people develop skills to produce a show that would lead to syndication or to a job in the television industry,” Barnett said.
She indicated that locating the studio on the COS campus could help provide those opportunities for interested participants and students through the college's newly scheduled television production and community television classes offered by recently hired instructor John Arno.
Public financial support and ideas for new locally produced shows are important for the ongoing health of the community television station, Barnett said.
To underwrite a donation or talk with the staff about possible programming, the public is invited to call operations manager Kathleen Blevins in the MCTV 15 office at 938-4106 on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays between 9 a.m. and
