Durham, N.C. – Residents who want to know more about what goes on at Durham’s City Hall, but who do not subscribe to Time Warner Cable, can now watch all City-produced television programming directly from their computers.

Effectively immediately, programs such as “CityLife,”  “City Hall This Week,” and “Durham Teen Scene,” can now be viewed on the City’s DTV8 Web page.  In the past, subscribers to Time Warner Cable could only watch the City’s television programming on channel 8. 

According to Beverly B. Thompson, director of the City’s Office of Public Affairs, by offering the television programs online, more Durham residents can stay informed about the latest news and events affecting the community.  “We’ve gotten a significant amount of positive feedback and accolades on our television programming, but until now, our viewership was limited due to subscription requirements to Time Warner Cable to be able to watch us,” Thompson said.  “We’ve heard from our residents that they want better access to our programming and by now providing our shows on our Web site, all you need is Internet access to stay up to date on the latest information about your City government.”

To watch the City’s “on demand” programming, visit www.durhamnc.gov/dtv8/video.cfm.  In addition to the City’s DTV8 Web page, “Durham Teen Scene” can also now be viewed on YouTube at www.YouTube.com.
