All welcome at 7 p.m. Thursday event in council chambers
Asbury Park’s television station [APTV] will be holding a community information session designed to recruit volunteers interested in television production and broadcasting.
“APTV Wants You” will be held 7 p.m. Thursday in the Asbury Park City Council Chambers, located at 1 Municipal Plaza.
The station broadcasts programs created and presented by the community, its government, and businesses. Aside from documenting civic meetings they have developed cultural and educational features.
“APTV provides broadcasts that respond to the interests and concerns of the community and present programming that highlights issues and showcases matters relating to Asbury Park,” volunteer coordinator Heera Sidhu said.
Its municipal appointed 9- member advisory committee assists with development and oversee the operation of city’s public access channels.
The recruiting event will highlight opportunities with APTV where they can learn and develop multimedia and public speaking skills, Sidhu said. Interested individuals of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
“There will be segments on APTV regular programming and special event programming, as well as, how independent producers can submit their productions for broadcast on APTV,” Sidhu said. “Following a hands-on demonstration of professional video equipment, there will be a look into the future of APTV.”
