headphones2007 DOM Success Stories
Accomplishments and Aspirations

We now have Online Video Archiving so anyone can see your show on our website from anywhere in the world! We also just started Live Streaming of Channel 58 (with Quicktime 7) so folks can watch your show live via the internet.


Additionally, thanks to your commitment and hard work we now have 27 weekly, bi-weekly and monthly live and pre-recorded series. We have also started streaming KGNU radio during the programming breaks on both 57 and 58.  


We have many plans for the upcoming year, one of which includes improving the Ingest and Dominizing process to make it easier and more user-friendly.  For more information on how you can get involved with our station, and really utilize the equipment and classes that are available to you, please visit us online at www.denveropenmedia.org.

GivingFirst a Success


Thank you very much to everyone who contributed last month through Community First's GivingFirst Program.  Donations made on the morning of Oct 3rd were matched, 50-cents on the dollar until all allotted matched funds were exhausted (which happened fast!).
Deproduction/Denver Open Media received nearly $12,000 in donations that day.   A big thanks to those who set their alarm clocks and got their donations in early, especially: H. Ansbacher, S. Pensack Rinehart, S. Shearer, J. Stoval and S. Webber.

For the remainder of 2007, Community First Foundation will cover all processing fees, ensuring that 100% of your donation goes to our organization. To donate via Giving First, please click on the link below:
