At this meeting, the Board will report on upcoming activities and events of KCM and solicit your input to help KCM continue to provide our community with the ability to share information via cable television and through other communication resources.

Like many media centers across the United States, KCM is facing economic challenges.  However, KCM is also embracing opportunities to build relationships with other non-profit organizations in the Kenosha area to not only strengthen KCM and these other organizations but to build awareness and provide services to Kenosha. 

No RSVP is necessary to attend this June 23rd meeting.   Both Kenosha TV producers and anyone interested in local media are welcome to attend.   If you have questions, please contact the Kenosha Media Center at (262) 656-8497.   Hours are 9:30 AM-10:00 PM, Monday-Thursday, and 9:30 AM-5:00 PM, Friday and Saturday.   The Center is closed on holidays, including on Friday, July 3rd and on Saturday, July 4th.  Please call ahead before visiting the Center.

Please note that the Center will also be closed on Thursday, June 25 until 5:00 PM.  It will be closed all day on Friday, June 26th.   The Center will also be closed on Monday, June 29th until 5:00 PM.  

                           While driving around the bottom edge of Lake Michigan a few years ago, headed for Michigan, my radio drifted from station signal to station signal until it settled on the voice a preacher (of unknown denomination) who had a simple message to his sermon: "To make friends, you need to be friendly."    His edict was simple, but too often unheeded.  How often do we wait for someone else to share a good word or perform a good deed, before we're compelled to react and do the same?  

Kenosha Community Media has its hand extended to the Kenosha area, welcoming everyone to become a part of the community conversation.  KCM exists to provide a public service.   This service includes the training and tools that allow citizens to express themselves through the magic and medium of community television.   Our staff and many citizen/producers have also worked to create video programming for local organizations, including programming to raise awareness of our area animal shelters and children's programs at the Kenosha Public Library.  Several local talk shows--Kenosha Today with Scott Barter; Shakin' Up Kenosha with Dennis Shook; and Just Talkin' with Jason Rimkus--welcome local guests from our business, organizational, and political communities.  KCM has worked to become good friends with the community it serves and will continue to develop new ways to broaden and enrich community conversation on issues that are important to Kenosha and to showcase our community's talent, activities, and events.

As a part of this effort, in 2009, KCM will launch its KCM Friends campaign, inviting citizens to become Friends of KCM not only as producers of video/TV programming, but as PBS-style sponsors of local programming, and also as volunteers to help KCM provide better outreach to local organizations (and to the general population) and to assist KCM in its day-to-day operations.   More details on this effort will be available in November/December and at KCM's upcoming annual meeting on November 14th.
