RevereTV Spotlight I The RHS Lady Patriots Volleyball team September day? n past RevereTV Spotlights, there were many mentions of a grant program the studio was participating in to help inform the public of how to stop the spread of COVID-19. This week videos made as part of this grant program will be seen on RevereTV’s Facebook and Instagram each day. The videos are short recordings made exclusively by members of the community. These community members give their own reasoning for why it’s important to wear a mask. The videos vary in language – in English, Spanish, Portuguese or Arabic. If you haven’t followed RTV on Facebook or Instagram, search for RevereTV on both platforms, and you will see the pages with this content. Do your part – wear a mask! Some RevereTV community members have been creating monthly programs about public health in diff erent languages. One show is in Spanish and is called “Latin X Charlando con la Comunidad.” Some topics the program covers are the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccinations and mental health. Last week another group of community members produced a show in Portuguese in partnership with Cambridge Health Alliance. This program is called “Brasileiros em Ação.” Both shows air on RevereTV channels and are posted to RTV’s YouTube and Facebook pages. Last week there were more city government meetings that were either scheduled at the same time or overlapped one another. It is important to clarify where to fi nd meeting coverage in such cases. RevereTV will always cover city meetings. If the meeting you want to watch live is not playing on the usual government channel and instead there is another live meeting taking place, chances are the meeting will be playing on the RTV community channel that day. If not, all meetings are streamed live to YouTube. If the meetings are not streamed live on YouTube because of technical diffi culties or City of Revere scheduling issues, RevereTV will always upload City of Revere meetings to YouTube soon after they take place and will replay those meetings on television throughout the following week.
