public service

WCCA TV 13, “the People’s Channel”, in Worcester, announces two great new programs soon to be on line and on cable. WCCA is currently seeking sponsors and volunteers to help create this win win production roster coming January.

Worcester Reading Journal: As an extension of it’s two weekly news programs “Community Vision News” and “Young Views Real News”, WCCA TV will be presenting a new public service reading program titled “WORCESTER READING JOURNAL”. This new television production will focus on bringing the latest of Worcester news and headlines read directly from participating local newspapers. The station also intends to include, as time allows, selections from corporate and non-profit newsletters, including various locally produced poetic works as well. The program will offer opportunities for volunteers and interns to practice their public speaking and reading skills while providing a useful service to benefit those who are challenged to read on their own. The program will be presented on WCCA TV 13 cable channel, and streamed in real time over the Internet as well as be available for downloading. This will be a great opportunity to promote local events, print media, and local poets.

For those interested in participating as a reader or to participate as a print media or poetry contributor, please contact Mauro DePasquale at 508-755-1880 .

City Council meetings: WCCA is also interested in streaming reruns of the weekly city council meeting starting January, pending approval from the city administration. WCCA Board of Directors have asked Executive Director, Mauro DePasquale, to ask the City Administration for permission to stream the council meetings each week. WCCA would be interested in doing this as a public service. It would be pretty simple for WCCA. All that is needed is for the city to forward a DVD or Video tape copy of the Tuesday Council meeting. WCCA will take care of the rest without cost to the city’s budget. WCCA has been on line for over the past two years connecting Worcester to the world on wccatv.com .
