When are you going to post streaming video of the latest City Council meeting to the Web site?On-demand streaming video of City Council meetings is typically posted to the City 7 Web site by Noon the day following the LIVE broadcast. This is due to preparing the multimedia file for posting and transferring it across the Internet to our streaming service provider. Sometimes technical issues may delay posting the video until later.
How can I get a copy of a program that was shown on City 7?We are not able to distribute copies of most programs due to copyright restrictions. If you have a video recorder, you can record these programs off the channel for your private use. Copies of most programs produced by the City of Independence may be requested by calling City 7 at 325-7019 during business hours. Copies of tapes cost about $7.
How can my not-for-profit organization put a notice/video on City 7? Can I make a suggestion for programming?The City 7 bulletin board is reserved for notices regarding activities and information sponsored by local, state, or federal governments and their affiliates. City 7 plays educational videos related to government services and the arts. The programs may not take a side on any controversial issue; endorse any political party, issue, or candidate; or promote products or services for a for-profit company. Comcast cable operates other community access channels specifically for area school districts and not-for-profit organizations. You may contact Comcast at (816) 795-2203 for more information. If you have a program that you believe fits City 7's criteria, please contact our Communications Director, Irene Baltrusaitis, at (816) 325-7020.
What music do you use for your bulletin board? Can I get it in my car?Our music is provided by the "Music Choice" service on Comcast Digital Cable. The specific channel is channel 436. We are unaware of any way to receive this music in an automobile, but satellite radio providers may provide an option for something similar.
Can I get City 7 on my Digital Satellite Service (DSS)?City 7 is only available on Comcast cable in Independence. Because of complicated agreements and expensive fees that would be necessary to put City 7 on satellites, there currently are no plans to carry City 7 on these services.
