Text of the article

El Dorado County Channel 2-Sierra Community Access
Placerville, CA – The new Sierra Community Access Television is back “on the air” as Comcast Channel 2(SCA-TV2). Since the City of Placerville renewed the SCA-TV2 contract this last Spring, much has been accomplished. The Community Calendar has a fresh new colorful design and graphics, Community members have provided video content to enhance the programming. SCA-TV2 brings station content about El Dorado County not only to those who do not have Comcast, but also to people around the world via its new website, http://sierratv2.blogspot.com/!
Channel 2 is Listed as “Government”. SCA-TV2. Programming can also be viewed on our web-site. The SCA-TV2 website offers a Links tab http://sierratv2.blogspot.com/ which also has some of the most comprehensive sets of internet links to sites serving El Dorado County. Viewers may have seen the American River Conservancy from Janice Stanley, (Todd Stanley Productions), New Morning video by Stan Okumura and Daren Coelho of Cinema Caldera, CASA and Girl’s Night Out produced by Michelle Vien, Cameron Park Spectacular 2010, and Car Classic at Burkes Junction, County Fair and Poetry and Music at Our House Gallery produced by RJRuby Productions, Music at the Fusion Gallery, Jenny the Genie (local magician) and the Farmers Market on Missouri Flat Road by Leroy Goodenough, “The Power of the Sunflower” with Nancy Siegler produced by Bertie Byrne and Leroy Goodenough, Downtown Placerville, Wine and Dine, Gold Bug Mine and El Dorado County promotions by Bill Thorpe’s Sweet Mix Media, and “Charlie’s Closet” movie trailer and Connor’s Hope: A Bike Race Across America 2010 recent Ponderosa High School graduate Spencer Reed . SCA-TV2 is broadcasting the classic video of Placerville’s George McKee “Remembering Placerville”—a personal history of our Placerville. Plans have begun to film Comedy Night at Sequoia Restaurant as early as this October. Ch. 2 also has a wide variety of upcoming programs to include “A day in the Life of El Dorado County Law Enforcement –Part 1” Co- Produced by Stan Okumura, Kevin House and Paula Springer and other programming is forthcoming.
SCA-TV2 is up and running with the help of a myriad of volunteers, a 6-month loan of a Mini-T-NX video server from Leightronix, and donations and underwriting of programming by Minuteman Press, El Dorado Savings Bank, The Toy Shop, Nor Cal Construction, the Sequoia, and Vision Coalition a well as a growing number of subscribing members. The revival of SCA-TV2 also comes as a result of the leadership and efforts of Channel 2 President Jeanie Redmond , Station Manager Roger Ruby, and board members who have given so many hours of bringing SCA-TV 2 back.
Government doesn’t help finance SCA-TV2. It is up to the community to keep SCA-TV2 on the air. Beyond volunteer help, SCA-TV needs financial help. We must raise $5,000 to purchase the Leightronix video server—all by December. (No video server--no station!) The Community may help by becoming a member or underwriter of SCA-TV2. http://sierratv2.blogspot.com/p/become-member-or-underwriter.html Please donate by sending in a check to SCA-TV2, 537 Main St.. Ste. B, Placerville, CA, or go to the website with Visa, Mastercard or PayPal. Get in on our underwriter special where we we create a 30 second underwriter spot and air it all year on Channel 2 for $1,000! Of course, larger donations and grants are accepted.
