UPDATE: Farmington 15 News premieres Friday, October 30, 7:15 pm.
Farmington 15 News will be on the air in a few days, and this afternoon, I sat in on the taping at Southwest Oakland Cable Commission‘s studio A in Farmington.
The show represents a collaboration between Visibles, a Downtown Farmington business, and the City of Farmington, working through SWOCC Studios to produce intensely local programming. Farmington 15 News’ first edition includes footage of the summer’s major happenings, and the show closes with a calendar of events.
How do I know so much about this? I co-wrote the script, with Meredith Nickol. And my husband, Brian Golden, co-hosts the show, along with Jolene Alaniz, a City of Farmington employee. Jolene also appeared in the City’s water conservation video, which you can view here.
Today’s taping was a real eye-opener. SWOCC’s staff – Eric Angott, Melissa Cohn and Hans Ihlenfeldt – provided high-quality technical and support services. Over the next few days, I’ll be working on a video of my own, to show you just how much work goes into making a half-hour public access news show.
And keep on eye on Farmington’s city channel 15 – lots of interesting programming is on the way.
