RevereTV Spotlight

  Although the Revere High School basketball season has come to an end, you can still watch the teams in all their glory on RevereTV – each made it to tournament play this year. All games were covered by RTV, and the studio would like to thank the volunteer hosts that showed up so often: Patrick Keefe and Donny Boudreau. To anyone else who volunteered or stood in for the usual hosts every now and then, thank you. The studio’s community sports coverage is amplified by the announcers that spend their time to provide play-by-play as the athletes play on screen. Congratulations to both basketball teams for making it as far as they did this season!

  Chef Kelly Armetta was back in the studio this week to record another episode of “Cooking Made Simple.” This will be Armetta’s tenth episode! Any new cooking program episodes premiere at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays after they are recorded and edited. All RevereTV–produced shows like this one are also posted to the RTV YouTube page to be watched at any time. All cooking programs at RevereTV were created in partnership with the Rossetti-Cowan Senior Center to provide more television shows on local cable for seniors; however, since then the studio has learned that many enjoy the cooking programs. In that spirit, coinciding with the month of March and St. Patrick’s Day, you can watch a rerun of last year’s “Cooking with the Keefe’s” special episode where Patrick and Jennifer Keefe make a traditional Irish dinner.

  This week’s city public service announcement is about the child tax credit available to families with children who file their 2021 taxes. The link provided in the Public Service Announcement (PSA) video, findyourfunds.org, also has resources to help those who might not have received COVID-19 stimulus funds last year. For more thorough information, this PSA was recorded in three languages this week and can be found playing in between all programming on RevereTV. The videos are usually available on YouTube in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic. Check out the RevereTV YouTube page for this announcement and all past PSAs over the last year.
