October, 2020 Premiere week begins October 5!
WATCH OUR PREVIEW SPECIAL OCTOBER 5 @ 8PM! Channel Pittsburgh is a non-profit, streaming online television station. The station’s goal is to provide creative opportunities for media artists and learning opportunities for media students in an environment similar to that of a local television or basic cable channel. (Think of Channel Pittsburgh as “a college TV station without the college.”) Our first locally-made series, “Pittsburgh Tempo,” begins its second season on October 6. The station will introduce an on-demand component and a web store some time in the future.
WATCH OUR PREVIEW SPECIAL OCTOBER 5 @ 8PM! Because of the COVID crises, Channel Pittsburgh has been a one-person project. Obviously help is needed and here are some of the station’s needs. Pro Bono Attorney Help the channel formally organize. Board Members Engaged, skilled volunteers are needed to make Channel Pittsburgh grow. Fiscal Sponsor Channel Pittsburgh needs a sponsor to receive support from grantmakers and donors. Space An indefinite loan of Downtown Pittsburgh space (at least 700 square feet) for offices and studio. Equipment & Funding We need working computers, cameras and almost anything else you can think of!
