LCTV News April 23, 2024

Hello Claire,


Well folks, Spring is finally Springing, and we've got a busy schedule to match all the growing happening around us.


Yesterday we had the privilege of filming the newest Community Conversations show at the Alna Fire House to help celebrate its 75th Anniversary of helping keep people in our community safe.


Host Marva Nesbit interviewed Captain Stuart Riner (left), Chief Mike Trask (middle), and Captain and Training Officer Jeff Whittmore (right). This show will air Friday at 7:00pm.


Wednesday night, we hope you'll tune in for an all-new Chamber Chat at 7:00pm with Dr. Cassy Rose from the Wiscasset Earth Day Celebration that's happening this Saturday from 9:00am to 1:00pm at the Wiscasset Community Center. It's going to be a great event with 25 vendors and local organizations, plus a full program of speakers.


On Friday, we have a new Talkin' Town Talk show with important information about how to qualify and apply for FEMA and Small Business Association grants and loans, before the May 20 application deadline. . 


The show airs Saturday, April 27 at 7:00pm on local channel 7 and LCTV.org with guests Monica Myles, public affairs specialist at the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and Deanna Frazier, media relations specialist at FEMA. 


After its Saturday premiere, the show will be available for On Demand viewing at LCTV.org, on LCTV’s YouTube channel (please Subscribe), and LCTV’s Facebook page (please Follow).


And of course, we're live streaming baseball and softball! The weather held for yesterday's Lincoln Academy baseball game vs. Brunswick. See below for Wednesday's Medomak Valley baseball game versus Lincoln Academy and Friday's Lincoln Academy softball game versus Cony.

All games start at 4:00pm, live streamed on LCTV's YouTube channel with color commentary.
