Effective beginning the week of Aug. 19, DMA’s Tuesday hours revert to closure at 6 p.m. We will remain open till 8 p.m. on Thursdays in order to accommodate evening productions.

Featured currently on “In the Studio” are the Davis Music Festival; Davis AYSO; Anarchy Roller Derby, and the Davis Vanguard.

“In the Studio” is produced at Davis Media Access (DMA), the non-profit community media center serving Yolo County. The program provides local newsmakers and community organizations with easy ways to promote their activities and events. DMA produces four segments of ITS each month, using the recording sessions as a hands-on learning lab for local residents interested in media production. “In the Studio” airs Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays at 7 p.m. on DCTV, Comcast Channel 15, and on demand at Menu 99 on AT&T's U-verse.

Here’s a shout-out to Lin Weaver, who has been serving as our Studio Host Intern the past few months.
