RevereTV Spotlight

  Happy 4th of July! The RevereTV staff hopes everyone had a safe and healthy weekend as your celebrations took place. The studio was closed on Monday in observance of the holiday, but has been busy getting some new community programming together. This week, the RTV summer interns have started. Each intern will be taken through the official community member production classes. These classes include learning all the skills pertaining to field shoots, studio shows, and post-production editing. By the end of the summer season, all RTV interns will be well equipped to be able to create their own community program or contribute independently on a broad production set. Stay tuned for more about RevereTV’s four interns!

Chef Kelly Armetta finally made his way back to the kitchen studio for the second official episode of “Cooking Made Simple.” On par with his past programs, Armetta demonstrated how to create a multi-course meal. This week’s episode is on theme with the summer season. All recipes were for a backyard barbecue. The dishes include Jerk Chicken, Smoked Potato Salad, Steak with Green Chimichurri, Barramundi Skewers with Bloody Mary Gazpacho, Broccoli Feta Salad, Baked Bean Salad, and Mexican Corn. Armetta shows you how to make all these dishes in an hour and a half episode! You can find “Cooking Made Simple” episode two airing on the RTV Community Channel throughout the week. It can also be viewed at your convenience on YouTube where the recipes are included in the video description.

A few community members submitted new episodes of their programs. Sal Khan of “SAL’S SHOW,” is airing his July episode at its usual timeslot which is Thursday at 7pm and Saturday at 5pm. Judie VanKooiman’s program, “Life Issues,” has its July episode airing on Thursday at 6pm and Sunday at 1pm.
