Presentation: C-SPAN 2014 Cities Tour - Madison WI - October 20-21, 2014 by Debbie Lamb, C-SPAN Cities Tour Coordinating Producer
Body
C-SPAN's 2014 Cities Tour takes our Book TV and American History TV (AHTV) programming on the road. We travel to selected cities to feature the history and literary life of these communities. We've chosen cities that are rich with history and have interesting local literary communities, but not often featured on the national scene. With our visit to each, we hope to bring a little of their heritage to our nationwide audience. Working with our cable partners, Charter, our producers will take our specially outfitted Local Content Vehicles (LCVs) into these selected cities, visiting various literary and historic sites, as we interview local historians, authors and civic leaders. Equipped to shoot and edit on location, we'll also meet with students, teachers, and local leaders to talk about the work we do for C-SPAN and our efforts in the community. The programming we record in Madison will air throughout the weekend of November 15-16. The history segments will air on American History TV (AHTV) on C-SPAN3 and the literary events/non-fiction author segments will air on BookTV on C-SPAN2. In addition, we will air special Madison programming blocks: C-SPAN2 BookTV BLOCK: SATURDAY, November 15th at 11am CT/ 12pm ET and C-SPAN3 American History TV (AHTV) BLOCK: SUNDAY, November 16th at 1pm CT/ 2pm ET.
