Juke Joint Marathon scheduled
With the North Atlantic Blues Festival bringing blues fans to the area this weekend, BCTV has scheduled two evenings of the blues for Friday July 10 and Saturday July 11. These programs feature some of the many great performers who have appeared at the festival in recent years.On Friday night the marathon begins at 10:30pm and on Saturday the blues begin at 4pm. Around here catching the blues often means fishing for bluefish but this weekend it has a more musical connotation.

Classic Arts Showcase and all other satellite network programs are back

It has taken us quite a while to get our satellite dishes up and running, but finally we are back with our regular programs. We presently air the NASA channel from 8-9am, then at noon we show Democracy Now! on Link TV. At 2 pm we show DV world news and at 2:30 we air "Mosaic" middle east news both on Link TV and Classic Arts showcase airs 4-6 in the afternoon and again from 4-6 am. We are pleased to offer these programs to our community and welcome other programming suggestiions you may have. Of course our focus is on local programming but we also show select programs that may not be available to our community otherwise.

Come visit us in our new home at 93 Main Street Belfast

We are pretty much moved in and although space is tight, we have a great view of Main Street.

To visit us, just drive into the center of town and look for the door to 93 Main street, which is located on the up hill side of Alexias Pizza. We are on the second floor just to the right at the top of the stairs. The Bangor Daily News and Mike Hurleys' Belfastmaine.com are our neighbors, so we are a local media center of sorts. Thanks to Minuteman Signs, we have a large decal on our second floor window, announcing our location. This is an exciting move and there is definitely a vibrant sense of energy here in the middle of Belfast. It is also much more convenient to run out and get a cup of coffee.

BCTV Moving
After three years operating out of the Belfast Boathouse, the city of Belfast has asked us to move out. We have found a new location for our office in the middle of Belfast, above Alexias pizza. Our transmission facilities are being moved to city hall. We are in the process of relocating the equipment and are temporarily not transmitting. We should be up and running within a day or so with local programming. The satellite dishes that provide us with programming such as NASA, Classic Arts Showcase, Democracy Now!, and Link TV will need to be reset, and that may take a bit longer. In the meantime we will be playing local programs 24 hours a day.
