2008 Year in Review

2008 Year in Review

In 2004, the City of Coeur d'Alene renegotiated its franchise agreement with Adelphia (now Time Warner Cable). Part of that agreement was the creation of the City's government/public education channel, CDATV Channel 19.

In January 2005, the City aired the first live City Council meeting. Additionally, the City Bulletin Board began airing at the same time. Since then, the City has added the airing of the Planning Commission meetings, Parks & Recreation Commission meetings, as well as the Lake City Development Corporation meetings. The Bulletin Board has expanded to include Upcoming Events and Community Connections.

"COFFEE WITH THE MAYOR" SHOW

"Coffee with the Mayor" is a half-hour show with host Mayor Sandi Bloem. Councilman Woody McEvers co-hosts the show and brings the Mayor community members to be guests on the show who discuss a variety of community-related topics.

Councilman McEvers' "Man on the Street" questions are obtained from our residents on issues they are interested in or would like clarification on. Topics have included Property Taxes, Downtown Height Regulations, Coeur d'Alene Tribe, newspaper reporters and other topics that have been asked by residents of our area.

If you have a question or topic that you would like discussed on the "Coeur d'Alene Now" show, please contact Susan Weathers, Municipal Services Director, at (208) 769-2231 or by e-mail at susanw@cdaid.org. If your question is selected, arrangements will then be made to have you ask your question, on camera, to Councilman McEvers, our "Man on the Street."

Please check the "Programming Schedule" on this web site for days and times this show is aired on CDATV Channel 19.
