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.
