We’re busier than we’ve ever been here in DCTV with a glut of programmes in various stages of production. Keep an eye for some upcoming art exhibitions and storytelling evenings, as well as some new shows going for broadcast, over the next month. This week however, we’re looking for anyone interested in getting involved in the production of a new volunteer show focused on commemorating the 25th anniversary of the closure of pirate radio in Dublin. The show will mix segments shot both on location and in our Shopfront Studio in Temple Bar and is led by Eddie Bohan, who has a wealth of knowledge and contacts in the area. He is looking for a production crew who can bring his excellent programme idea to fruition. To get involved go along to a meeting in the studio (located here) at 6.30pm this Thursday the 20th of June or drop an email to piratedays@dctv.ie.

This is one of three lectures to be organised this year, each of which will be broadcast in the autumn and hopefully released as part of a commemorative pack at the end of the year. Below are the historical background, delivered by Niamh Puirseil and then the lecture itself delivered by Len McCluskey. They are free to download, share etc.

Dublin Community Television has been working hard on supporting members to develop their own programme ideas over the last few months which has resulted in more volunteer shows running on the station than on any other TV broadcaster in the country.

As more programmes get in to production we need more people to get involved, learn how to produce television and share their skills with a like minded crew. In order to facilitate this we are offering you to come and meet some of the producers that are recruiting for their
new programmes. These productions are on a variety of subjects, including sports, music, current affairs, art and more.

If you would like to get involved in making community television come along to the Ireland Institute on Friday 24th of May at 3.30pm to get involved.
