PSO Children's Concert in PCTV-74 loopland

Plainfield's public access channel -- PCTV-74 -- may be suffering from a dearth of community-supplied content.

That might explain the very frequent replays of the Plainfield Symphony Orchestra's free children's concert from April 15, 2007.

The concert -- pleasant enough in itself -- has been airing quite regularly for the past couple of weeks --

• Monday to Friday: 10:00 - 11:00 AM
• Monday to Friday: 5:34 - 6:34 PM
• Saturday: 3:34 - 4:34 PM

Besides running the station, the city is supposed to be encouraging community programming by --

• purchasing and maintaining equipment to be available on loan to the community to tape programs,
• offering training workshops for community organizations and individuals interested in producing programming, and
• making use of all media -- newspapers, radio, web, flyers, etc. -- to promote availability of training, equipment loan and how to submit programming.

Now that the website is (sort of) fixed, you can at least access the station's contact information. However, if you click on the link to the PCTV-74 Schedule you will be startled to find that you are not taken to a web page, but to an Excel spreadsheet -- which you will have to download, save to your hard drive, and then peruse by opening Microsoft Office.

All those who do not know or have access to Excel, please raise your hands.

You may stay after class and help wash the blackboards and clean the erasers.
