This is the link to an online TV channel for Portsmouth, a local effort. Community television and it’s promise has not really been fulfilled. It’s tough I guess writing a charter, making sure content does not offend. I don’t find weeks of the Christmas parade or HS graduation offensive, just boring. So these fellows in Portsmouth have got something cooking, online. Andy our tireless and largely unpaid community tv guy and Town IT guy to boot, has tried. We had for a short time the ability to use a similar wed based platform to view video on our Town web site. It is impossible to control content to a community standard on another site, or what you may see when looking for the next water break video. So we had to dump it here in Exeter.
I like newspapers, magazines, books and radio, and yes, tv. They are all vitally important. People will tell you “oh I get all my news on the web” “I will just read it online” “It’s a kindle” ” A what?” I just had another guy tell me he was canceling his newspaper subscription(Boston Globe). Now more than ever you need more sources of news analysis.
Maybe this web based format would be a fun diversion moving forward. Check out a clip from their on demand menu on Portsmouth Community TV. Steve has some sage advice for us all.
Enjoy,
bust a move

Mike,
Reports of the death of our online video content have been greatly exaggerated. Look on the Town’s web site where you would find the meeting minutes.
You may even see a full streaming version of Channel 22 in the next year or so. There are some exciting possibilities that may come out of the new cable contract.
