The next time that you're channel surfing stop on channel 16 and take a look. I think you'll be surprised at what you'll see.
BTN-TV16 is the governmental channel operated by the City of Bristol. Our Community Relations Department, under the direction of Terrie Talbert, is responsible for its programming.
I've seen a lot of governmental channels over the years but without doubt ours is the best - and getting better.
I watched about 45 minutes the other day and saw a great segment on the 50th Anniversary of Bristol Motor Speedway, a mini-concert by Lighting Charlie, and an interesting segment by our local historian, Bud Phillips.
I fully expect that the city's efforts will be recognized this year by the 3CMA (City-County Communications and Marketing Association) through its 2011 Savvy Award program. Be watching for the results of that - we'll highlight it on Channel 16 when we win. peace
