The Local's Show: Get to Know GrassRoots

Описание: Ever wonder what GrassRoots is, how it's lasted longer than any other media in Aspen besides The Aspen Times and KSNO radio? Host Erik Skarvin, after 20 years producing The Local's show, allows GrassRoots Community Network Executive Director John Masters to describe the GrassRoots Idea by briefly taking us through the 53 year history of America's first Community Access Media Center.

Know Aspen. Watch GrassRoots.

GrassRoots TV programming is entirely funded by direct contributions from members of the Roaring Fork Valley community, and through grants from Pitkin County Healthy Community Fund, The Town of Snowmass Village, the City of Aspen Community Non-Profit Grant Program, and The Aspen Thrift Shop.

Founded by citizens of Aspen, Colorado in 1972, GrassRoots TV is the first and oldest community operated and programmed open-source media center and television station in the United States. Virtually all of the programming is created by local residents, occasionally with world renown guests.

In partnership with the American Archive of Public Media and the Library of Congress, GrassRoots is currently cataloguing, restoring and digitally archiving 700 of the most at-risk original video programs out of its 45,000 title Community Video Archive.
