WCCTV OFFICIAL LAUNCH
Wagmatcook Culture & Heritage Centre
November 2nd, 2006

Story by:  Jim Morrow, Victoria Standard (Local Newspaper)

Wagmatcook has its own Television Station. WCCTV (Wagmatcook Community Cable Television) hit the cablewaves at approximately 11:30am on November 2nd, 2006.

The Chief of the community, Lester Peck did the official "Plug In" of the channel while the rest of Council looked on.  Eric Christmas, Wagmatcook's Director of Public Affairs, welcomed the advent of the new communications system, which connected the channel to 1000+ homes in the community and surrounding areas.

CBC was on site and did a news story on the launch. The Victoria Standard also did a story in it's own local paper detailing the events of the launch.

Chief of Wagmatcook, Lester Peck sees himself on TV seconds after the official "Plug In" as the rest of the Wagmatcook Council looks on - on TV.


The four main objectives for the station are as follows:

1.  Marketing & Information Services to the Community
2.  A new medium for Youth and potential video projects
3.  A digital library (audio/video) recording elder stories & community history
4.  Revenue generation through Ads and TV Bingo's

Mr. Christmas noted that "we are now sharing with our new audience and happy to have them witness what will be an amazing time for us".
