Pembroke Community Media Celebrates it's One Year Anniversary


English writer Charles C. Colton's notable 19th Century phrase, “Imitation is the sincerest of flattery” applies most heartily to the feeling here at pembrokecommunitymedia.com, since other media entities are copying us, and copying us now more than ever.

It's been one year since a group of volunteer Pembroke moms, dads, children, and other residents banded together to keep local access and programming alive in our community by forming Pembroke Community Media.

Over
120 new shows have been filmed, edited, released, and viewed over 13,000 times.

Live-to-tape sports events and competitions including: coverage of girls' and boys' hockey, girls' field hockey, swimming, football, and basketball; religious presentations, historic genre, analysis, discussion, political forums, public service announcements, scouting events, original works of non-fiction, documentaries, art shows, award presentations, and more are completed and ready for viewing at pembrokecommunitymedia.com.

Halifax Cable Advisory Committee member Elaine W., referred to Pembroke Community Media's prolific offerings as “a magic act,” and we agree.  The magic lies in the vast number of Pembroke volunteers working together to make it all happen.

So, to those who continue monitoring our workings and copy what we do, we say, “Thanks for the compliment.”

We are not pactv.
