DATV has recently expanded its viewing

area to Dayton’s northern suburbs.

DATV expanded its programming reach into Dayton’s northern suburbs on Time Warner Cable beginning on Tuesday, June 10th. DATV filled the void left by the closing of CAC which was previously operated by Time Warner in the northern viewing area.

“We’re glad we have the opportunity to share the best of what Dayton has to offer and to educate those communities on the virtues of community media,” said

Steve Ross, DATV Executive Director. “The expansion of DATV’s viewing footprint is only made possible through the efforts of the City of Dayton, DATV and Time Warner Cable.

DATV is currently seen on Time Warner Cable channel 5 in Dayton, Riverside and Butler Twp. In the northern suburbs it will be seen on either channel 5, 6, or 23 depend-ing on what city you live in.

Visit DATV’s website www.datv.org for a complete list of cities and channel numbers.

DATV member Rob Dennis (r) recently interviewed talk show legend Phil Donahue (l) for an episode of “The Rob Dennis Show.”

Twice a month some of Dayton’s most talented performers and media members descend on the DATV studio for “The Rob Dennis Show.”

The show has become a viewers and volun-teer favorite and fea-tures local celebrities, nonprofit organiza-tions and more.

Rob has hosted the show in its current form for five years.

And according to Rob, “It is the longest running late night talk show format in Dayton’s history.”

It can be seen on DATV, Time Warner Channel 5 and stream-ing at www.datv.org on Tuesdays at 10:00 am and Sundays at 10:00 pm.

I’d like to welcome everyone to the “not-so-first” addition of the Viewfinder.

What do I mean by that? The Viewfinder is not new to DATV or its members. The Viewfinder was created in 1991 as a mechanism for keeping DATV members up to date on the current issues of the organization.

The newsletter’s last issue was published in 2007 and due to budgetary constraints, production of the Viewfinder stopped. Well here we are 7 years later and we’ve decided to bring the Viewfinder back to life. Though our budgetary constraints have not dimin-ished, we are committed to publishing The Viewfinder 4 times annually.

As in the past, readers will find articles concerning issues of importance to the organiza-tion, its members, as well as anyone interested in commu-

nity media. Additionally you will enjoy items highlighting

DATV members, showcasing new and emerging technol-ogies, lists upcoming com-munity events DATV will be covering, tips and tricks for producing better videos, and many other topics.

You will quickly find that The Viewfinder is not just a mem-ber’s only publication, but one that all who are interested in video production, technology, and community activism can enjoy.

I hope you will take the time to read The Viewfinder when it makes its way to your home or business. And I hope you will continue to support your freedom to communicate by supporting DATV.
