Poll; Local Politics on the Small Screen
The poll for this week is about your TV viewing habits. Specifically, if you watch the St. Louis Board of Aldermen on the city’s channel 10 on cable, STL TV.
STL TV provides government related informational television programs to the residents of the City of St. Louis. The channel, which is available to basic cable subscribers, serves as a vital link in making local government more accessible to the community via cable television.
STL TV is operated 24-hours daily and has logged thousands of production hours in pursuit of its mission to inform, educate and promote City government operations.
For the past several years, STL TV has produced original programs tailored to inform and promote the City of St. Louis. Weekly coverage of the Board of Aldermen meetings (beginning in 1993), Mayoral Press Conferences, public events and other government-related programming has been a major function of STL TV since 1991.
Do you watch the weekly live broadcast of the Board of Aldermen? Do you get TV10? The poll is located in the upper right corner of the main page.

The same channel is used by many of the surrounding municipalities. Typically the screen is full of pictures of the elected officials (posing and at community functions) with very little info about the community or important matters.
StL TV has much, much more than the dribble from the surrounding municipalities with their “small town” mindsets.
The combination of arcane procedures and poor audio quality makes it hard to watch.
