<br />Staff Programming Highlights <br /> <br />- Chamber Programs <br />Becoming more involved with the business community was a stated goal of ours. Soon after <br />joining three local chambers, we began working with them to produce programs. First, staff <br />often tapes luncheon speakers for playback on the channel. Second, we created the show Taking <br />Care of Business. The program deals with issues facing the local business community. While <br />the technical production is done by staff, Tom Snell of the Metro North Chamber of Commerce <br />hosts the program, selects the content, and arranges for guests. The Southern Anoka County and <br />Lino Lakes Chambers have also been invited to produce episodes of the show. <br /> <br />_ MN Safe Kids <br />Aric worked closely with Anoka County law enforcement, fire departments, and government <br />staff to produce a show about the Minnesota Safe Kids Program. The Anoka County chapter of <br />MN Safe Kids contacted us about producing the show, and Aric thought it would be an excellent <br />opportunity to develop a positive working relationship with Anoka County officials while <br />producing an excellent program. <br /> <br />..... Memory Lane <br />TJ. created a new program, called Memory Lane, that looks at the events and important issues in <br />the lives oflocal senior citizens, through interviews, home movies, and photographs. The most <br />difficult part of producing this program is finding suitable guests to prof1le. <br /> <br />"f'- Viewpoint <br />Katie and Aric worked to reinvent our community issues <br />talk show. Its predecessor, Perspectives, took a brief <br />production hiatus upon the termination of its producer. <br />We consider this program to be one of the primary <br />services that the Media Center provides to local clubs and <br />organizations. It provides a forum for those groups to <br />discuss their purpose and events to the entire cable <br />audience. <br /> <br /> <br /><F- City Events <br />Staff covered a wide variety of annual city events including National Night Out, two Safety <br />Camps, Tower Days, Blaine's Blazin' 4th, Fetes des Lacs, the Anoka County Board meetings, <br />and election coverage. In addition to the above events that we tape every year, staff worked with <br />the Centennial Lakes Fire Department and Lino Lakes Police Department on a public safety drill. <br />The organizations, along with the Anoka County Emergency Services and Minnesota Haz-Mat <br />Division staged an "event" to test emergency response. The City Scope news crew played the <br />role of "the Media." They also covered the event for City Scope. T.I. and Aric also produced a <br />program about the Lino Lakes Police Department Citizen Academy. <br /> <br />...... High School Sports Analysis Programs <br />In addition to producing a wide variety oflocal high school and athletic association sporting <br />events, Kenton also produces a couple of sports analysis programs throughout the year.
