George Anthes Live

A "hat tip" to Richard Howie, whose Blog "RichardHowie.Com" mentioned today that George Anthes, working with producer John McDonough, will be going live on Lowell Cable Channel 8 starting Monday. The time slot is supposed to be 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM. Channel 8.

I went to the LTC website to confirm this good news, but alas, I couldn't find anything. I did note that John McDonough does have the 5 to 6 PM period blocked under his name. Perhaps program announcement adjustments are under way.

I did confirm with George Anthes late this afternoon that this is happening. He will be joined by Tom Byrne, who has been doing duty at WCAP recently. And, John McDonough is the producer. It will be interesting to see how they are going to do this show. It will be live. Will there be guests? Will there be call-ins? Will there be questions thrown out by Tom Byrne?

John McDonough, the Producer, has been involved in LTC for some time as well as having been a co-host with George Anthes on WCAP's former "Morning Information Team." John McDonough's website is a good place to find the City Council Agenda each week.

I am both thrilled and disappointed by this development. Thrilled for George Anthes, who has a lot of good things to say, and has been missed of late, and disappointed, in that I was trying, by this Blog Site, to lure him into Blogging his views. For sure, a number of people have told me that they have missed George at WCAP. They will be glad to see him back on the air, although some will still be missing George, as LTC does not have the same audience coverage that WCAP has--it is limited to Lowell Cable customers. Maybe there will be streaming video.

(UPDATE) Again borrowing from Richard Howe's Blog, Marie Sweeny noted that "LTC has live streams of channels 8 and 10 on their website," available HERE.
