Each week the one hour cable TV
video show produced by the Modesto PLC media-club will be broadcast over the UHF
TV airwaves of local community TV station KAZV TV 14, Thursdays, 5:30 p.m. to
6:30.p.m.
Tune in with any TV set with rabbit-ears or loop antenna tuned to UHF antenna
channel 14.
KAZV TV14 is also on the Charter-cable system serving each city county-wide
except for Modesto on cable channel TV14.
On the Modesto Comcast-cable system, KAZV TV is on a upper channel 195 that
requires a set top box to receive, (but you can tune in our shows via Public
access channel 26 on Wednesday nights, 9 p.m.-10.p.m.).
So now PLC media reaches every TV in the city and county that isn’t on a
Satellite-dish. Even if you have a DISH , you can still hook up any small rabbit
ear ANTENNA and tune to UHF TV 14 and receive the show for FREE.
This is a pilot program between the PLC media-club and TV14 to check response
for our PLC media show over the real TV broadcast airwaves.
We have a great time slot along side of the local Sacramento TV newscasts.
Please do your part and attempt to receive and enjoy our broadcasts!
Tune-in and report back to us on the shows! We are always looking for new ideas
for PLC shows and members to help with our show.
