On April 15, from 5-7pm, Community Television of Santa Cruz County (CTV) will hold a reception at its 816 Pacific Avenue studios, celebrating the reopening of its doors after a hiatus to reinvent its entire model of delivering community media services.
These changes were required due to statewide funding cuts for community media, and resulting in a new budget that is over half the organization’s previous budget. The public is invited to attend.
The event will feature station tours, presentations about how to get training and rent equipment, and videos outlining the new programming planned.
