Cambridge Community Television sent camera crews to different parts of Cambridge MA to talk with trick-or-treaters on the important topic of candy on October 31, 2011. Original broadcast "live".

Originally broadcast live from the Cambridge City-wide Senior Center, the base of operations for the November 8, 2011, proportional representation election ballot count. Hosted by Susana Segat and Robert Winters and featuring interviews with Cambridge City Council and School Committee Candidates plus some surprise appearances by Massachusetts State elected officials. Produced and broadcast by Cambridge Community Television in Cambridge, MA, on November 8, 2011, from 7:30PM-11:30PM on Channel 10.

Take a look at the floor plan for the new space at 438 Massachusetts Avenue. This will give you a great idea of what our new space will look like when it's done. Some things you shouldn't miss are the locations of the three live television studios (a 50% increase in studio facilities) and the two computer labs (a 100% improvement for CCTV).

The excitement is building (if you'll excuse the pun)! MIT is finishing its base building work at CCTV's new home - we hope to take control of the space on March 1, and then our work will begin. You have read about the new facilities, but there are finer points that are really interesting: because the space is right over the subway, we need a special isolated floor slab in the two live sets and the main studio...to absorb the vibration. We have to take out a portion of the second floor to get the height we need for the studio.....there is going to special acoustical treatment to make the studio a much better environment for recording audio......

So check back here frequently for the latest updates!

George Romero, the director who is singlehandedly responsible for the entire zombie movie genre, directed Knightriders in 1979 and cast Brother Blue for a significant role. Knightriders is a story about a troupe of renaissance actors who live out the days of King Arthur while riding a lot of motorcycles. Ed Harris is the character leading the traveling circus of jousting bikers. Brother Blue starred as Merlin, the magician, who travels with the merry band of re-enactors on his school bus. Take a good look at the trailer for several good shots of a 1979-aged Brother Blue.

Yes, election season has begun and with it comes campaign ads and candidate forums and more. This month, CCTV offered city election candidates a short spot in our studio to record a small candidacy promo and we are again presenting these pieces for our Cambridge audience to educate themselves on their choices this coming November 3, 2009. Visit the Candidates Page to see our collection of campaign pieces, and watch our three cable channels as we roll out special election programming blocks for the next two months.

We've talked a lot about making better use of our content classification and tagging system and now we've gone and done it.

The principle of a good classification system is all about telling items apart from one another as well as grouping items together that have some relationship or commonality. The best classification system we (read: human kind) has ever developed is the Scientific Classification of Organisms that helps us determine what family, genus, and species a living creature belongs in based on common and ancestral traits of the organism themselves. It get's really technical, like whether the hairs of the fur of a species are hollow or solid, but it's all there and does a fantastic job of helping us sort life out. read more...
