Let's chat, Kenosha!

How can MPTV better serve you both now and going forward? That is question we hope you can answer at the next MPTV Town Hall meeting, Wednesday, March 3, at 7:00 p.m. in the community room of St. Catherine Commons, 3524 7th Avenue, Kenosha.

We know public television fans in Kenosha have had concerns this past year. After the transition to digital television last June, some over-the-air viewers found it more difficult to receive Channels 10 and 36. Also, last August, Time Warner Cable dropped WTTW/Chicago from its lineup, leaving MPTV as the only public TV service in Kenosha and Racine Counties. Our management staff will be on hand at the meeting to address any questions you have about both subjects and others you have about public TV.

The evening will include a preview of upcoming programs, events, and station initiatives. There will also be a chance for people to tape a TV spot that we may use as part of a new on-air campaign. Refreshments will be provided.

The Commons is easily accessible. Take I-94 to either Highway 142 or Highway 158 and drive east to Sheridan Road (Highway 32). Turn left on Sheridan and drive north to 35th Street. Then turn right (east) until you reach the driveway to the right. The Commons community room is in the large sand-colored brick and stone structure on the right hand side of the road, and is impossible to miss.

MPTV has viewers in 21 counties throughout southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. We are proud to provide quality television to folks from Fond du Lac to Waukegan, and west to Jefferson. We see the entire viewing area as our community, and we value and encourage feedback from anyone who uses our services.

We've found Town Hall meetings a great way for us to get direct feedback from the community as well as a chance for our viewers to speak one on one with members of our staff. Please join us!
