Durham Programming Now Available "On Demand"

DTV8 Web Site Allows for All City-Produced Television Programming to be
Viewed Online

 

Durham, N.C. - Residents who want to know more about what goes on at
Durham's City Hall, but who do not subscribe to Time Warner Cable, can
now watch all City-produced television programming directly from their
computers.

 

Effectively immediately, programs such as "CityLife,"  "City Hall This
Week," and "Durham Teen Scene," can now be viewed on the City's DTV8 Web
page.  In the past, subscribers to Time Warner Cable could only watch
the City's television programming on channel 8.  

 

According to Beverly B. Thompson, director of the City's Office of
Public Affairs, by offering the television programs online, more Durham
residents can stay informed about the latest news and events affecting
the community.  "We've gotten a significant amount of positive feedback
and accolades on our television programming, but until now, our
viewership was limited due to subscription requirements to Time Warner
Cable to be able to watch us," Thompson said.  "We've heard from our
residents that they want better access to our programming and by now
providing our shows on our Web site, all you need is Internet access to
stay up to date on the latest information about your City government."

 

To watch the City's "on demand" programming, visit 
www.durhamnc.gov/dtv8/video.cfm.  In addition to the City's DTV8 web
page, "Durham Teen Scene" can also now be viewed on YouTube at 
www.YouTube.com.
