CAPS Medias’ ever-expanding community wide services include ongoing collaborations with Community Councils throughout Ventura. CAPS records, broadcasts and streams the local meetings, and provides the councils with the recorded event for their use. CAPS recorded the East Ventura Community Council meetings in April and May and will cover the EVCC meeting in June. CAPS also recorded the Westside Community Council meeting in June and will cover the Midtown Community Council meeting in July. Every meeting is broadcast on CAPS Channel 6 and streamed on capsmedia.org the week following the meeting and the councils post the events on their websites and social media. Other community councils interested in having CAPS Media record their meeting should contact CAPS at [email protected] or call 805-658-0500.
