Chris has brought up some ideas for additional fresh programs on CMTV.
With the available satellite feeds from KSPS more programming can be used by CMTV. Dish Network and other Satellite feeds from KSPS can be broadcast live - simple for KSPS to do - and programs can also be saved to KSPS's program file server for broadcast at later times - requires additional steps for CMTV and KSPS to do.
In addition to the satellite feeds available to CMTV there are various websites and DVDs that provide programming for PEG channel use. In the time it takes to make one half hour program with a CMTV Apple workstation using Final Cut Pro - hundreds if not thousands of hours of good quality programs can be downloaded from the web for broadcast by CMTV. This is what other small PEG channels do to have more fresh programming available for their viewers. Larger PEG channels also use satellite feeds they make use of for even more fresh programming.
CMTV has access to both satellite feeds and internet downloads. Fresh programs from these sources can be used to significantly increase fresh programming each week.
What types of weekly diverse fresh programming would be worth considering if it was available from satellite or download?
It would be good if each board member choose a program series that they would create an introduction (wrapper) for so it could be broadcast on CMTV. I'll do some of the Link TV programs. Any one else?
Ian, I believe, suggested at the last meeting that gardening shows should be considered to be made locally. Great idea - I've made several programs on various aspects of permaculture gardening. As with all local programming there simply are not enough programmers and workstations to cover the 720 hours per month - 168 hours each week that are being broadcast. Keeping local progamming at top priority this leaves hundreds of hours per month available for good quality fresh programming from satellite feed and internet downloads which can be done simply and quickly by CMTV in a short amount of time each week.
Here is the start of a list of possible quality fresh program types that CMTV could download each week to reduce the 90+% repeat programming. These include Ian's idea for gardening, ideas from Chris and the various programming types from CMTV's mission.
Please send ideas for programs and program types and I'll add them to the list.
Current & Possible Quality Program Types
CMTV Produced, Locally Produced And From Satellite Feeds And Internet Downloads & DVDs
Currently fresh programming from local and non-local sources is a bit less than 8 hrs/ week - 30 hrs month maximum the yearly average is less. Which is about 4% of the programming hours available - more than 96% repeat programs. Note, the 4% fresh programming is not all local programming.
With the addition of Democracy Now - 5 hrs/wk - 20 hrs/ month this will almost double (50 hours/month) CMTV's fresh programming to almost 7% with 93% repeat.
Adding the 8 hrs/wk of Classic Arts Showcase available from live satellite plus 5 hours/wk from Link TV downloads (102 hours/month) would more than triple the current fresh programming - bringing fresh programming up to 15% with repeat programming at 85%. This has always been doable. KSPS already has a live feed from Classic Arts Showcase they can turn on at anytime(s) CMTV would like. The Link TV downloads would take a few minutes to set up and the downloads should be complete in a few hours which could be done over night.
More regular weekly programming of satellite feeds and internet downloads can greatly increase the percent of fresh programming and reduce the large number of repeat programs.

Additional Fresh Programming - Link TV
Here is another source of exceptional programs that well meet CMTV's mission and purpose.
http://betterspokane.blogspot.com/2010/09/additional-fresh-programming-link-tv.html
LinkTV - Television Without Borders
They have been around a good while and have lots of PEG channels using their programs. The list is quite something and a good way to see all the different logos PEG channels have:
http://www.linktv.org/reception#Pacific%20Time%20Zone
I've picked a few programs to test to see how the programs can be added into the fresh programming each week. All the programs have been aired on LinkTV and numerous PEG channels more than a few times, thus the broadcast quality should be quite good since any issues have been worked out long ago.
The shows are from PEGMedia.org. Downloads - an hour program took less than an hour using Comcast. A fast internet connection should be able to download hour long programs in minutes. One station I talked to, had a fairly fast connection and was downloading Democracy Now files in less than 10 minutes - much faster than the CMTV internet connection that was taking hours to download.
Their mission is certainly in line with CMTV's mission and they have plenty of big names that lend their support to ad free station, neither commercial or sponsor ads.
In December 1999, Link Media launched Link TV, the first nationwide television network dedicated to providing Americans with global perspectives on news, events and culture.
Every day Link broadcasts a 24-hour mix of uncompromising documentaries, international news analysis programs and diverse cultural programs to over 32 million U.S. homes. Link’s original programs are distributed to more than 174 cable stations, reaching an additional 20 million households. Audience research indicates that there are more than 5.8 million regular satellite viewers of Link TV, who watch an average of 2.5 hours each week. In addition, 57% of these regular viewers report they have taken action as a result of something they have experienced on Link TV.
Link Media, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. In 2009, Link Media, Inc. formed a partnership with YouthNoise, which has become the backbone of its Engagement division. YouthNoise has the aim of encouraging youth civic engagement and community service through the integration of television, web and mobile technologies.
Below is LinkTV's mission and commitments.
It is wonderful that LinkTV makes programs available to PEG stations.
If anyone knows other sources of free quality programs for PEG stations let me know and I'll add the sources to the list.
Take care, Easy

Classic Arts Showcase - More Fresh Programming - To Nurture Spokane Community
For this and more info on available fresh PEG programs see:
http://betterspokane.blogspot.com/search/label/PEG
Classic Arts Showcase is another free satellite channel that other PEG channels use to provide fresh programming to their viewers.
http://www.classicartsshowcase.org/
This would be a great addition for late night viewers, early morning viewers and for random fill throughout the day.
World class arts to inspire Spokane viewers - much better than endless repeats - and it is free.
"Classic MTV" Launched in 1994, Classic Arts Showcase is a free cable television program designed to bring the classic arts experience to the largest audience possible by providing video clips of the arts in hopes that we may tempt you, the viewer, to go out and feast from the buffet of arts available in your community.
How can I get my station to air CAS more often?
CAS is available 24 hours a day, but each station that downlinks us airs us for as long or as short as they want. If you'd like to see us on the air more often, or at different times, the best way to make that happen is for you and your friends to petition your local channel. They always listen to viewer comments and requests.
How often do you repeat a show?
CAS is a weekly show. Each week we edit together a new 8-hour show, broken down into one hour blocks, featuring approximately 150 new classic art clips. That's more new weekly programming than any other show on television. We then send out our show via satellite three times a day (that's 24 hours), free and unscrambled, to individuals, cable providers and broadcasters all over North and South America. Anyone with a large dish can pick us up. Each day we randomly shuffle the one-hour blocks. Different stations downlink us at different times. Some air us for only an hour, some all day. So depending on how often and when CAS is scheduled in your area you could very well see repeat clips within a single week. But don't worry, there's always a completely new eight-hour show every Friday night.
How long have you been on the air?
Since May of 1994, and we plan to continue for many more years to come.
Classic Arts Showcase broadcasts 24-hours from Satellite. We're available free of charge to PEG channels, PBS, basic cable tiers and non-commercial broadcasters (just fill out the Application).
In the region Classic Arts Showcase is aired on:

To view this, updates and more info about programs for PEG channels as it becomes available:
http://betterspokane.blogspot.com/search/label/PEG
Here is a vast source of free programming that can be used by CMTV:
http://pegmedia.org/
The shows are free. Some have a nominal download charge. Other PEG channels
make good use of this fine resource to provide more fresh programming
for their PEG viewers. Stations also share their programs with the world
via PegMedia.org.
Talking with a tech person at a University, it takes 5 or so minutes
to download a 30 minute program via a program that uses mulltiple
ftp channels to bring in the program in multiple simultaneous streams
and then reassembles the program ready for broadcast.
Yes, downloading an hour program can be done in minutes and
need not take hours for a one hour program to download.
These programs would go a long way toward filling CMTV's over 95% repeat
programming each month.
[There are 720 hours a month, 30 hours of fresh programming
a month is 96% repeat programming, of the 30 hours of fresh
programming per month much less is local content -
if there were 7 hours of local programming a month that would be
1% of the programming. It is not reasonable to expect local programming
to increase significantly over the coming years.]
Several hundred hours a fresh programming each month, that
nurtures a better Spokane for everyone - people and nature,
would benefit the Spokane community considerably. This can be
done and is being done by other PEG channels throughout the
United States.
Yes, of course, local programming should receive
first priority for CMTV broadcasting.
No one is suggesting anything different.
It would be a good idea for CMTV to focus more effort
to obtain and broadcast more nurturing programming
- hundreds of hours, until local programming is capable
of producing more programs.
Below is a list of the PegMedia.org programs available 1 Sep.
Take a look through the list and let Rob know of any shows you are particularly interested in.
There are garden shows, do it yourself shows, creativity, arts, health,
animal house (about animal rescue), Beatrix Potter - Reading aloud ...
This is one source that other PEG channels use quite a bit to provide
more fresh programs for their communities.
CMTV can do much more to provide more fresh programming
to its viewing audience. More fresh programming will
be greatly appreciated by the audience.
PegMedia includes 'Filmmakers Studio' which might encourage
a few more people to produce a local show. A preview of this and probably all
the other shows can be viewed on PegMedia.org. You may need to create an
account to view these. Here is an episode of Filmmakers Studio:
http://pegmedia.org/index.php?q=msvr/ep/6011/detail&destination=msvr%2Fshowall%2F430%2Fdetail
Two programs available from PegMedia.org that are quite popular on one channel are:
- Hot & Cold - a humerous show on building and renovating houses by an expert that does the work
- Expedition NE - is a great program for kids that talks about and shows nature
Hot and Cold is about building and renovating houses as well as updating with new types of insulation and alternative energy. It's somewhat the tone of a This Old House, but in Hot and Cold, the host, Tom Gocze, is the expert and does the work. Tom gets his hands dirty as he explains how homeowners can do a lot of the work themselves or be more knowledgable if they were to hire someone.
This show is excellent and would rank among the top in community television in interest to the audience and applicability to a wide audience. The production is single camera, but very good quality video, audio and content. A number of shows are currently uploaded with many more to come. This show is shot in Maine, but can play anywhere there are houses.
For more info see:
http://www.hotandcold.tv/
Expedition New England is a first class show about nature in the New England states
and beyond - covering the world. While this may not be focused on the
Pacific Northwest these shows would benefit every child in Spokane and their
families and deserves to be on CMTV.

HISTORY of ENE How did the "Expedition" begin?During the summer of 2000, just before the birth of our first child "Daphne" I bought a video camera. About a year prior I had joined the Connecticut Herpetologist League and hooked up with some of CT's leading amphibian and reptile enthusiasts who taught me the art of things like snake catching and turtle rescue. And to top it all off, Ava and I obtained our scuba diving licenses in 1998 which lead to the access of New England's marine environment for the first time in our lives. All three things created a perfect storm of images for me as a film maker. I began filming everything; snakes, turtles, ants, jellie fish, spiders and even the birth of our child. What is Scott Tucker's Expedition New England television show about? It's about adventure. It's about discovery. It's about seeing the wonderful nature and wildlife that's thriving in our backyards, our Land Trust properties, our forests, and our oceans. My wife Ava, our daughter Daphne and I exploreNew England and beyond to capture amazing, interesting plants, and insects, and wildlife both on land and in the water. Sometimes we do this without even leaving our own backyard. There is just so much to see. Why did I create Expedition New England? With the programs currently on main stream cable and satellite we see more about Australia, Africa and Costa Rica than what's happening right under our noses in New England! I knew in my heart a show about our own backyard was despirately needed and "if done with emotion and compassion" could inspire people to take their kids back outdoors again and do something different. - an activity the whole family can enjoy. I also hope that whether they take advantage of what's around them or just watch my show I can help bring respect and ultimately protection for the fabulous flora, fauna, and wildlife around us. Today, I see we have achieved our mission.  Where am I planning to take the show from here?The world of course. For the next 5 years I plan to spend most of the summers Scuba diving in New England filming our spectacular marine environment. During the other seasons I will take the television audience on journeys and adventures to different places on land. I will also be including in my program the many people I have met as a result of producing the show. Their specific knowledge will add so much to what I am doing. I would love to see the show grow into a wider regional or national audience and have the content of the show cover more other un-sung places around the country and the world. Ultimately, I really want to inspire everyone on the globe to marvel, respect and work to preserve this amazing place we call Earth! |
