CEO Ellis Announces Video Streaming
2/26/2010
Twenty-four hour access to DCTV, Channel 23 now offered on-line
Decatur, GA – DeKalb County CEO Burrell Ellis recently announced a new medium DeKalb stakeholders can access to remain connected to county government. The county website now offers 24-hour media streaming of DeKalb County Television (DCTV), Channel 23.
By visiting www.yourdekalb.com or www.dekalbcountyga.gov and clicking the “DCTV” link, visitors to the county’s website will be able to view DCTV’s live media stream or DeKalb County’s video on demand, including regular commission meetings and CEO Ellis’ 2010 State of the County address.
“I am excited about this new media streaming technology and hope it will help many more people connect with DeKalb County government while we continue to improve customer service,” said CEO Ellis. “This is the first of many initiatives planned to utilize technology and broadcasting to further our commitment to all of DeKalb County’s stakeholders.”
Webcasting now provides the ability to connect with a much larger citizen population. Previously, DCTV viewership was limited due to geographic location and cable service provider. Now, anyone with internet access (high-speed or dial-up) can view DCTV’s programming, including emergency announcements and various productions highlighting government policies, services, and activities.
Regarding the new live media stream and video on demand, DeKalb County Chief Information Officer Darrell T. Black said, “CEO Ellis’ dedication to utilizing technology to invest in the lives of DeKalb citizens promises to build a premiere Cyber Center in DeKalb County. We look forward to further informing, educating, and enhancing the lives of those who live, work, and play in DeKalb.”
