This column was originally published in The Davis Enterprise Aug. 26, 2010.

It’s nearly September and as we all know, that heralds a season of intense activity in our community. In addition to a full complement of activities and programming here at the media center, I’m pleased to announce the following events:

K-D-R-T-O!

FAQ: How to find archived video/audio content for DCTV & KDRT

We get many questions about how to find a particular show to listen to, or watch.

An increasing number of local video productions are available on demand at dctv.davismedia.org. Videos are tagged and searchable (for example, search on 'homelessness' to see local shows done on that topic). A schedule for shows currently airing is available on the front page of this site, as well. This is DMA's main site for hosting and archiving locally produced video content.

PEG Access Media left out of FCC discussions

The FCC is now holding hearings re: "Workshop on Public and Other Noncommercial Media in the Digital Era." Public access media is not included in this discussion! This is a great time to get these words: PEG -- Public Access TV -- Community TV -- Community Radio -- Community Media in front of the panelists and the FCC.... Be sure to mention the Alliance for Community Media and the work the ACM has done for decades to help create local media and educate people on how to do this. Mention DMA as a great example of community media in action!
