Thank you

Due to circumstances beyond our control (our web streaming host is experiencing technical difficulties) the live web stream is temporarily unavailable.

We are planning to roll out a new streaming system in the next week, that should provide higher quality video, with fewer interruptions and "technical hiccups".

For the time being, you can access the audio stream from stations WCAP and WXZO through MinorLeagueBaseball.com. Thanks for your patience, we expect to be able to provide a more robust live video strea

LTC is making headlines!

The month of May seems to have been a happening place here at LTC! Not only has LTC launched a new channel dedicated to public affairs and community programming, but it has also played a role in the local political community by providing a space for the first Democratic Lieutenant Governor's (http://lowelldems.org/2006/05/17/lt-gov-forum-location-change/) candidate debates for this political season.

Acting as a host for this event was as simple as having a member fill out a request form for use of space. With the local Senior Center disqualified as the original planned location for this debate, LTC made itself available at member request to help this political forum with a live studio audience that aired on Channel 10, a live streaming video feed via the internet, and a public space with wireless internet where political "bloggers" were able to use cutting-edge technology to reach a wide range of audiences.

Hello everyone!

I'm thrilled to have joined the team at LTC and I'm looking forward to working with the wide range of individuals and organizations that make up our membership. The new projects and programs (and new channels, it appears!) that this station has been working on are truly inspiring and represent some of the best efforts of local access televsion in the state.

Make sure to tune your television to channel 95 on Monday, May 22 to watch LTC's launch party! And stay tuned to hear more about our Digital Bicycle project too! For that matter, come on down to the station and introduce yourself to the staff and get involved!

As I know some folks around LTC have been bitten by the podcasting bug, I wanted to post this great resource that I found tonight: Beginner's guide to podcasts and podcasting (plus: how to create a basic podcast of your own)

In a related vein, Charlotte and I spent some time playing with Audacity - an open source sound editing software - and found it to be a pretty great application.
