Tribute to BAY TV:
The Network events have focused on community radio but community television groups - like BAY TV
were on the go more than a decade before.
There are actually many communication tools that can be used by volunteers for enhancing community
communications.
In a report for the Rural Communication for Sustainability Initiative, we listed more than 30
communication tools.
BAY TV began in 1990 - with the support of local cable owner Phil Keeping, MUN Extension and,
of course, many volunteers from Placentia area.
The group expanded from weekly community television programs - and special events - to include
BAY TV Youth and the BAY TV Newsletter.
Wednesday, May 25: Adrian Manning was interviewed by Mallary McGrath on his plans
to reactivate Bay TV. Stay tuned! Participatory community media is simply defined
as media we make ourselves; there are
no hired professionals or experts.
The basic principle of participatory community
media is All the Voices.
