Welcome to the Multimedia Division's Homepage Started in 1998, E.C.TV News is a community based television show that highlights news and events within the city of East Chicago. E.C.TV News is produced by the high school and college interns of the Multimedia Division and supervised by Gilbert Diaz & Steve Segura. The interns are responsible with assisting with the production of the television show including writing script to camera operation, anchoring, editing and airing the final product.
Recently added to the Government Channel is "Access East Chicago in Español". Hosted by Mr. Gildardo Peral and the interns. This show will mirror our English version to better serve the hispanic community in East Chicago. Each week, information is given on upcoming events throughout the city and past events are highlighted through video segments. On occasion, more in depth interviews are conducted through a series of special News episodes entitled Access East Chicago. Notable past interviews include New York Yankee Center fielder Bernie Williams, Comedian Nick Gaza, and former Globe Trotter Hallie Bryant. Access East Chicago has also been on site to capture special visits from Rev. Jesse Jackson, Kenny Lofton, Mayor Ophelia Hoff-Saytumah of Liberia and New York Fireman Ed Schylur. Access East Chicago airs three times daily on the Local Government Channel 21. Viewers are encouraged to contact the Multimedia Division at 391-8206 with any information regarding city events, ideas for our show or activities that may be of interest to East Chicago residents. |
