It's an experimental show which this past Thurs featured 119 Gallery on Chelmsford St. It was produced over a 24 hour period. I plan to send it to various stations as I have in the past, including Chelmsford, Westford, Dracut, etc. "Accent Lowell LIVE" replays tonight at 6pm on Ch 8 (and each Sat. through May). It also airs on Thurs nights through May at 7pm until our next show in June. The 119 Gallery feature also covers the release of their new Anthology CD which includes several local bands, musicians and artists. I hope people in Lowell and surrounding communities find it interesting. “Accent Lowell LIVE” airs the first Thurs of each month on LTC Ch. 8.

It was discontinued when Comcast acquired AT&T's cable operation and at the time Comcast vowed to replace it with a "regional" equivalent. Their "regional" equivalent was CN8 which was not local in any way shape or form. CN8 is now also long gone. While something like was discussed is admirable a regional news magazine program would be expensive (if done so that it would actually attract viewers think Chronicle or for those of you old enough Evening Magazine). It will be interesting to see what comes of this, hopefully it is not just a throwing together of people from various communiites sitting on chairs talking into the camera as is so often the case on Local Access TV.
