For more than nine years, broadcasts of city council meetings have been on channel 3 if you’re a Cable One subscriber.
From now on, they’ll be on channel 56.
This is due to a conversion to all digital channels, the city and cable company reported yesterday.
A grant the cable company received is paying for the installation of new cameras and media equipment at no cost to the city and will be complete before the council’s next meeting on Dec. 2, according to Columbus Director of Information Technology Walter Wickham.
For those who can’t watch the meetings live on the first and third Tuesday’s of each month at 5 p.m., they’ll be rebroadcast multiple times a week, Wickham said, as will Lowndes County Board of Supervisors and Columbus Municipal School District meetings.
Those meetings will also be seen on channel 56. The schedule for all broadcasts will be announced next month.
