HAVE YOU SEEN THE

FIRST CitiCABLE LIVE NEWS PROGRAM?

NEWSBREAK LIVE starts off with a recap of agendized business just covered by the City Council. It features news trends in Torrance, and brings viewers everything they need to know that's happening in their community, from Torrance schools to businesses to people to safety and health concerns and even events happening in town.

In addition to the live television (Time Warner Cable 3/Verizon FiOS 31) and simulcast on-line version, The NEWSBREAK LIVE Blog will include all stories presented on TV as well as some that might not make it to air depending on time limitations of the City Council recess.
