Local Government Video on Demand

Posted by Jeff Pruitt - 7/27/10 @ 6:06 pm - Filed Under Uncategorized

Being a member of the city’s Cable Fund Access Board gives me some insight into what’s going on relative to public access television in our community, and there’s a service being provided by the people at Access Fort Wayne that I should’ve pointed to long ago.

They now have the capability to archive video of local government meetings and stream them over the web. This service is called PEG Central and is provided through a company called Leightronix. So you can now view City Council, County Council, County Commissioners and Plan Commission meetings any time you wish.

This is a great service and the people at Access Fort Wayne should be commended for continuing to improve their service year after year with a limited budget. Go check it out for yourself by clicking the link provided above. Or if you want to surf to it on your own you can go to the main page of the Allen County Public Library and click on the Access Fort Wayne link in the lower left hand corner and from there you’ll see a link to PEG Central.

If you have suggestions about how to improve the service, or what programming you might want to see in the future, then send them to me, any member of CFAB or better yet send them to Access Fort Wayne directly…
