“Oshkosh Today” celebrates 300th show
Oshkosh, Wis. – This February Oshkosh Community Media Services (OCMS) will be celebrating the taping of their 300th “Oshkosh Today” public-affairs program. “Reaching the 300th episode is traditionally a very special milestone in any television program series,” said Jon Urben, director of general services for the City of Oshkosh. “We attribute our successful run to strong support and
participation from guests, viewers and volunteers—it’s truly been a combined team effort between our staff and the Oshkosh community for the last 13 years.”
In recognition of the program’s 300th episode OCMS staff have compiled 14 encore editions of “Oshkosh Today” programs produced during 1995-2008. These encore editions will air at various times on CATV 2 and CitiCable 10 during the month of February.
Urben notes that while much has changed with the program over the years, helping non-profits has always been the primary goal. “Area non-profits have so much to share about their programs, services and special events,” said Urben. “We feel ‘Oshkosh Today’ allows OCMS to help non-profits while also
promoting a wide range of projects and issues that help to build community pride here in Oshkosh.”
To help celebrate the 300th milestone the Friends of OCM are giving away 300 commemorative “Oshkosh Today” latte mugs. These coffee mugs are available beginning February 2, 2009, until supplies last at the OCMS offices on the first floor of City Hall. Before stopping by visitors are encouraged to call 236-5179 to check on availability.
The “Oshkosh Today” program has received numerous national and state programming awards since 1996. To see replay times of “Oshkosh Today” on CATV 2 or CitiCable 10, or to videostream the program, please visit the OCMS website at www.OshkoshCommunityMedia.org.
