WPCNR MEDIA FRONTIER. From White Plains Public Access Television. August 5, 2011:

 On Thursday, August 25, at 7:30 P.M., the White Plains public access channel will officially open its video website, www.WPcommunitymedia.org  allowing Internet users worldwide to view the channel streamed live or select White Plains-produced programs for video on demand.

Jim Kenny, Executive Director of White Plains Public Access Television, demonstrates the prototype of WP Community Media at White Plains Public Access Headquarters Friday. The leadership and vision of the White Plains Cable Commission  with the support and information-consciousness of the White Plains Common Council, has taken White Plains Public Access from video tape to digital, to streamed city meetings on the internet and now to all public access programming on the internet for the world to see in just three years. The official launch is August 25.

Pick your Program and Watch it with just a click -- from Ann Arbor to Samarkand --on  the internet. Public Access TV will now reach White Plainsians wherever they may be in the world. Mr. Kenny cautions the website is in a testing and prototype soft opening stage now and not all kinks are worked out yet and viewers may experience inefficiencies. He promises the August 25 date will be the time to see it in action.

An informal ribbon-cutting will be held in the White Plains Cable Access TV studio in the Seasons Building at 4 Martine Avenue, White Plains.

On the evening of the event, the TV studio will be open for the public to tour, and access channel program producers who will be on hand to answer questions about their programs.

The White Plains Public Access channel has been in operation since 1982 but only viewable within the City of White Plains and in some surrounding communities on the Verizon cable system.

The WP Community Media service will allow anyone in the world with uncensored Internet access to see what is on the White Plains public access channel, and view the most recent programs of their choice appearing on the channel.

The launch, currently undergoing preliminary testing is a natural development.

Last summer, the White Plains government access channel began streaming on the White Plains City website and enabled Internet users to view any recorded meetings or events through a video archive.
