Q: What can I watch on C-VIEW TV besides Council and Municipal Board Meetings?

A: C-VIEW TV cablecasts "more than meetings." Below are descriptions of some of the shows listed we produce.

BlueLine CPD
Is hosted by Clearwater Police Chief Sid Klein, and deals with current law enforcement issues. Blueline CPD also includes "On the Beat," "Lock and Load," and "Ride Along" segments. First Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. Reruns throughout the month.

City Bulletin Board
A video "bulletin board" which runs in both scheduled time slots and at times when no other programming is scheduled. Watch the bulletin board for city job notices, recreation event information, legal notices, and other city related news.

City Talk
A 30-minute show which gives you - the viewer - an opportunity to pose questions to members of the Clearwater City Council. One councilmember will be featured on each show, on a monthly rotating basis, to answer questions affecting Clearwater residents. If you have a question or concern you would like addressed, you can submit to citytalk@myclearwater.com, or call the C-View studio line at 562-4646. Catch the latest show the second Monday of each month from 7 - 7:30 p.m.

Q: What do C-VIEW TV's "call letters" stand for?

A: Think of it as a "view" of Clearwater. The "C" of course, represents Clearwater - our sparkling City.

A: The C-VIEW TV schedule is available here on the City of Clearwater Web site.

Q: How can I get a DVD copy of a meeting or a show on C-VIEW TV?

Q: Is there any way to learn what is on the Council's agenda for a particular meeting?

A: C-VIEW TV will "scroll" the agenda just prior to the meeting's official proceedings. Agendas for upcoming City Council meetings are also available on the City of Clearwater web site from the Official Records and Legislative Services Department. The Official Records and Legislative Services Department publishes the agendas on Tuesday afternoons prior to Thursday evening Council meetings and will be happy to answer any questions you may have pertaining to items which appear on the agenda (727-562-4090).

Q: Is the channel close-captioned for the hearing impaired?

A: C-VIEW TV is pleased to report that all evening Council meetings are close-captioned. This is one more step that the City is taking to make services and facilities accessible to all residents and visitors of Clearwater.
