Jimmy Carter's Birthday Celebration Live Event - Saturday, October 1st!

Submitted by Omid Indeed on Mon, 09/26/2022 - 7:07pm

It's the Annual Jimmy Carter Jamboree celebration to honor and recognize our 39th President and his work at The Carter Center.

The event will hosted by CMCM member/producer Barbara McVeigh, live at the Community Media Center of Marin on Saturday, October 1st from 1:00 - 4:00 PM, joined by ABC Host Spencer Christian!

The event will include screenings of the great "Crisis of Confidence Speech", forums from The Carter Center, footage of the last six years of musicians and other community leaders of Marin and beyond coming together to celebrate a president who has stood by principles of peace, human rights, health, mental health, housing, respect and so many other values that we value.

We have Carter bumper stickers and flower seeds from Rosalynn Carter to help usher in the butterfly trail of hope across the country!

To date, we have hosted film screenings, earned two city proclamations, one county proclamation and a California State resolution in honor of Carter. Musicians, businesses and teachers have contributed to the efforts to honor this president whose spirit could "Jimmy" us into one of peace and joy! Let it rip! We believe the best is yet to come!

Marin TV Goes Black in Observance of April 16

Submitted by admin on Thu, 04/16/2015 - 11:53am

You may have noticed the Marin TV channels were black this morning. We could make up all sorts of excuses and snarky explanations, but in reality we had a big UPS unit fail which took down most of our equipment for several hours. We have since bypassed power and are up and running again - our apologies for any inconvenience!

Expect Technical Difficulties - Nov. 15-18

Submitted by michael on Mon, 11/14/2016 - 11:06am

Monday, Nov 14th. One of our DISH feeds froze this morning which disrupted our morning cablecasts of Democracy Now and Gay USA. We resumed at 10:15 with a delayed cablecast of DN! and it will repeat normally at other hours today. Things like this happen at the worst time - and we know many of you are following the news more closely this week than ever. We will continue to do our best to avoid future problems.

On that note - we have many equipment changes planned the rest of this week and there may be a few more hiccups as we move our channels over to the new equipment. We will do our best to minimize downtime! Please bear with us during this time.

CMCM CLOSED through May 31

Submitted by jlessard on Wed, 04/29/2020 - 3:34pm

The Bay Area-wide “Shelter in Place” order has been extended through May 31. In accordance with that mandate, CMCM will continue to be closed to members and the general public until at least that date.

CMCM studio reservations, equipment checkouts, workshops, and events are suspended until further notice. But since a large part of the work CMCM performs is Government services -- covering local meetings and operating the related government channels -- this work will continue since it is an essential part of public health and emergency communications between local governments and their constituents.

Programming will continue to be scheduled across all three channels, and you can submit programs to air on Marin TV electronically -- without having to leave home -- then tune into Channel 26 to see the results.

If you post your videos to YouTube, Vimeo or DropBox - just send the link. If you want to upload files to our dropbox, just ask.

To submit programs, please fill out the form found at this URL: https://cmcm.tv/online

To contact staff, please use email only. Thank you!
