The Courier of Montgomery County reports that a one-hour TV show to be aired on the Conroe’s public educational and government access channel has been planned. In a partnership, the City joins the SHSU Mass Communications Department to put together a monthly one-hour television program. The program will be carried on Optimum cable company’s channel 12.
The first program, to be videotaped soon, will feature the City’s mounted patrol officers. In early 2024, a new website for the City will come to fruition. Content from the program productions will be put on the website as well as social-media locations.
The program will focus on instructional how-to videos and take a look at the workings of the City’s operations.
City Administrator Gary Scott said the program “is an essential first step in modernizing the communication tools we’re using to provide crucial information to our citizens.”
Under the direction of SHSU Professor Martin Gaston, the university will arrange for students from their multi-camera field production course to participate in the production of the program.
The program is produced throughout the year. Students will be rotated every 16 weeks to coincide with each semester.
There will be no additional funding on the part of the City for the project.
