WHCA is Expanding! New YouTube channels launch in 2025

December 26, 2024/in Uncategorized/by Nicole Kenney

Whitman-Hanson Community Access Television (WHCA) is committed to providing our community with accessible and engaging content. To better serve the residents of Whitman and Hanson, we have restructured our online video distribution to mirror our cable channels, ensuring that all programming is easily accessible and not overshadowed by other content.

Starting January 1, 2025, we have launched three new dedicated YouTube channels:

Whitman Government Access: Stay informed with town meetings, public hearings, and committee sessions specific to Whitman.
Hanson Government Access: Access town meetings, public hearings, and committee sessions specific to Hanson.
Educational Access: Explore school committee meetings, student productions, and educational workshops.

WHCA’s original YouTube Channel will continue to feature WHCA’s original programming, community events, and public interest content.

This strategic realignment is designed to enhance your viewing experience by making it easier to find and subscribe to the content that matters most to you.

We invite you to visit WHCA.tv to explore these new channels and stay connected with the programming that keeps our community informed and engaged.

By focusing on optimizing content accessibility and aligning our online presence with our cable offerings, we aim to provide a more streamlined and user-friendly experience for all viewers.

WHCA’s Art Gallery Grand Opening

December 18, 2024/in Uncategorized/by Nicole Kenney

As WHCA works to expand our artistic involvement, we were ecstatic to open our new art gallery in our facility last November! Our first featured artist in the gallery, Paul Crimi, was an easy choice for this new expansion. He is not only a seasoned artist, but has hosted a long running production with WHCA titled “World of Art”.

This is the first of what we hope will become a regularly rotating art installation at our studio in downtown Whitman. With our new art gallery opening, WHCA is also proud to launch our new Whitman Hanson Arts & Media (WHAM.tv) initiative. To learn more about WHAM.tv, our new art gallery, and/or how you can participate by viewing or contributing art; reach out in reply to this email or visit WHCA.tv/Arts-Media.

How a little audio recorder can save the day

December 1, 2022/in Uncategorized/by Administrator

We swear by little (backup) audio recorders like this one. This audio recorder has a great pickup range and if/when something goes wrong, this little audio recorder can carry the production while technical issues are resolved.

There are several boards and committees who use an audio recorder like this to record their meetings, then WHCA is able to add a video element to that audio coverage and share it on cable and YouTube for viewers in Whitman-Hanson to review. If you’re looking for a simple audio recorder there’s a lot out there like the Sony ICD-UX570 Digital Voice Recorder which we’re showing, but this one has proven to have great sound quality to us, and it therefore bears our recommendation.
