PAC 8 Posts Weekly Media Update, Expands Community Access

On December 3 PAC 8 Community Media Center released its weekly update describing the services it will make available and the programming schedule for December 5 to 11, 2025. The post details recording space, media transfer, video production, live streaming and drone services open to members of the public and community groups, and it notes that contact information and instructions on how to access those services are included in the update.

The schedule highlights locally carried and public affairs programming alongside nationally syndicated shows, and it specifically notes replays of County Council meetings and PAC 8 community news segments. For a community the size of Los Alamos the combination of locally produced content and syndicated programming creates a single channel for civic information, from meeting transparency to neighborhood storytelling.

The availability of recording and live streaming services has practical implications for public health and for local officials. During public health campaigns, vaccine clinics, or emergency notifications, accessible local media can reach audiences who may not use social media or other digital platforms. Community groups and health providers can use the center s production tools to create culturally relevant messages, to translate public health guidance into accessible formats, and to host virtual town halls that include remote participation.

Beyond immediate communications needs the center s equipment supports equity in media access. By offering production space and technical services to community members PAC 8 lowers barriers for small nonprofits, advocacy groups and under resourced storytellers who lack the budget for professional crews. That access amplifies voices that are often left out of public conversation, and it strengthens community oversight by making it easier to record and replay public meetings.

The weekly post invites residents to use PAC 8 resources to document local issues, share neighborhood news and participate in civic storytelling. The post also provides the practical contact details and steps needed to reserve services and submit programming for carriage during the December 5 to 11 schedule. For Los Alamos County residents seeking to improve community outreach, increase government transparency, or broadcast public health information the media center s regular updates map a route to greater inclusion and public engagement.
