Off Season's New Shows

The fall shoulder season is upon us.  At GrassRoots TV that doesn't necessarily mean we are just re-airing some of the summers best programs.  We still have a collection of great new productions from around the RFV.

Some highlights so far this fall:

Healthy Mountain Communities did a series titled, "The State of the Valley Symposium".  If you missed the live event, don't worry our cameras captured the whole thing.  You can watch what you missed here: http://grtv.me/VVcHsR

The fall means it's voting season.  This year the Pitkin County Republicans have been busy, you can watch any of their programs here:  http://grtv.me/V6owwQ

Good Luck Brad!

As you may or may not know,  our longtime employee Brad Manosevitz is leaving GrassRoots Television.  With a decade of service under his belt at GrassRoots, he is taking some time off from Aspen to travel.  Brad has intentions of returning to Aspen in the spring, so it's just a temporary good bye from the Valley.

Brad has made quite an impact on GrassRoots.  In 2005 he started CGTV Channel 11, he continued to manage the station for 6 years.  Dealing with government programming is not always the most exciting job, but he worked hard and created the best government channel around.

He is also our resident AV fix it guy.  If any of our equipment broken, Brad would be the guy to trouble shoot and repair it, or find the right resource to get it fixed and back working.  I'll tell you right now, television equipment and technology breaks down relatively often.  We'll really notice his empty chair soon.

Brad is also our field production manager.  He is the guy who hires our contract shooters, organizes and packs the equipment, and makes sure everything runs smoothly.  Brad has been our field guy since 2007.  He has stepped up our quality level in the field department tremendously.

Brad also wears the hat as our resident musician and MC.  For 10 years GrassRoots TV has had the privilege of having great talent at arms length.  He would be the first to jump up to a mic in any crowd and chat away about the wonders of GrassRoots TV.  Or be a quick volunteer to add a guitar and vocals to any event or production we needed.  We will surely miss those skills.

He is also an Aikido Master, so we all felt safe when he was around.  Look out bears... if you decide to attack, you might end up with a round house kick to the face.  Gone are the days when we can just rely upon Brad to protect us, we might have to start actually locking our doors.

Brad, if you're reading this.  We will all miss you and your many talents.  Thank you for being an integral part of our staff for the last 10 years.  Cheers to you and your new adventure!
