Re: [Wikinews-l] Local Origination Television

Howdy! This is a bit off-topic, but I think there may be wikinewsies with the expertise for which I'm searching. I will very soon be part of a group operating a local origination television station (think "public access" with the potential for profit). Basically, we'll be given a connection to the cable-office head-end and given free reign to broadcast whatever we wish -- 20% of any revenue must be returned to the cable provider. The station was previously operated by a single individual running PowerPoint ads almost 24/7 (with the occasional local sporting event/meeting). We'd like to offer more content (including some news and Wikinews will be part of that). Any programming we produced will be released under a free license or into the public domain. All of this is background, I know, but I thought you might be interested. Knowing there has been on-and-off discussion of Video Wikinews, I thought some of you might have suggestions for: * Video Editing Software (free) * Broadcast Software & Hardware * Other general tips/thoughts I would prefer to free and open source software (because it's "free" and because I want to promote the FOSS movement). None of us are hardcore coders. I appreciate your thoughts -- if this is terribly off-topic, please feel free to reply to me off-list. Thanks! -N. -- Nathan Reed nathanreed(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ Wikinews-l mailing list Wikinews-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikinews-l
