HBJ: Muni channel undergoing changes
The Houston Business Journal's Christine Hall reports on several changes coming to the municipal channel currently seen on Houston cable television:
The Municipal Channel, broadcasting on Comcast channel 16, has renamed itself HTV-Houston Television as part of a push to get the station in front of the mainstream audience.
The station's rebranding includes a new logo, graphics, tagline -- "Where Houston Watches and Change Happens" -- and new promotional programming aside from its live coverage of city council and mayoral press conferences.

New programming includes "Eye on Houston -- Where Community Begins," a Frontline-type documentary show; two shows that will follow fire and police cadets: "Firehouse Houston," in partnership with the Houston Fire Department; and "Academy 193," with the Houston Police Department; and a continuation of the station's history show, "Houston As We Know It."

HTV will also bring its programming to the World Wide Web -- streaming on the Internet later this year.
While it's another overdue technological development, web streaming will be nice, especially since the municipal channel isn't available on Dish Network (to which I subscribed after just a few days of bad Comcast cable TV service). We do need to keep up with President Joseph Charles, after all!
