What does CAPS Media do?
by Elizabeth Rodeno
“What does CAPS Media do?” It’s a question that we sometimes get asked and the answer is… A lot! CAPS Media is your local, public access television station and, most recently, Low Power FM radio station. We cover stories in the community and make available a professional grade television studio and radio station.
You may have seen our mobile television truck at the 150th Celebrations, St. Patrick’s Day parades of years past, and if you’ve gone to a City Council meeting you’ve most likely seen our Executive Director Patrick Davidson covering the meeting and showing the “Mayor for the Moment” segment which is created at CAPS. The station also works with the local school system to film the Festival of Talent, which is coming up on Saturday. This year, the film crew will be fully staffed by our student interns from El Camino! Staff is available to make presentations on what we do at CAPS to civic and other groups around town.
CAPS Media is calling all budding disc jockeys, radio talk show hosts, and all others interested in helping to create radio by the community, for the community. As promised, staff at CAPS have created a 2-session Radio KPPQ Membership Training that will be offered in the coming months. The first session covers Membership Program Information and Preliminary Training and the second session is a Radio Presentation and Performance Practicum. Call us at 658-0500 or email us at [email protected].
