Live! From Vienna...It's the Vienna Town Council

Watch town council meetings live on TV or via the Web beginning Dec. 16.

Beginning Dec. 16, you'll be able to watch Vienna Town Council meetings from the comfort of your home. 

You'll be able to watch live broadcasts of the meetings on the Town of Vienna Community Network (TVCN) on Cox channel 27, Verizon FIOS channel 38 and streamed on the Town’s Web site at www.viennava.gov, the Town of Vienna announced Thursday.

The Town launched TVCN in February 2012 with a bulletin board system and has been working with community volunteers to develop original programming for the channel.  In June, the Town contracted with Human Circuit to develop a plan to outfit the Council Chambers with an integrated HD audiovisual and broadcast system allowing council meetings to be transmitted live on the Town’s cable channel and streamed onto the Web site.

“This opportunity with the Town of Vienna falls into our long line of successful projects with neighboring municipalities," said Bruce Kaufmann, president and CEO of Human Circuit. "We love that we can help our local community governments enhance the commitment to keep their citizens well informed. Being able to work at a grass roots level like this is a special source of pride for Human Circuit”.

The upgraded Council Chambers provides the opportunity to broadcast meetings live as well as use state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment for live council meetings and non-broadcasted town and community meetings, trainings and other activities that occur in the Council Chambers.
