Keizer Channel 23

Keizer’s channel 23 is our PEG, or Public Education Government channel. We started small in 2001 by broadcasting city council meetings. Today, the channel offers more programming and we are also on line at Ten years ago, our programs were produced by Rex Robertson and IKE Media, working out of their mobile media trailer. Now, K23 TV is housed in the Keizer Civic Center. Mr. Robertson, who continues to produce our programming, worked with city staff to design and equip the new facility when it was built. The entire Civic Center is connected to K23 TV and the Council Chambers doubles as our studio. Currently, we record and broadcast council, budget, and urban renewal agency meetings. We also do regularly scheduled public safety shows and city-sponsored events. The Keizer Points of Interest Committee Oral History project has produced several wonderful programs that help us preserve our long and rich heritage. McNary High School’s Celtic School News airs each week to keep our community up to date with McNary happenings. In our media-saturated society, local access television still has a very important role to play in keeping us connected, sharing our ideas and creativity, and preserving our local identity. You are invited to attend our K23 TV advisory committee meetings to share your ideas for our channel. And keep on watching K23 TV and keizertv.com.
