Marin TV Goes Black in Observance of April 16

You may have noticed the Marin TV channels were black this morning. We could make up all sorts of excuses and snarky explanations, but in reality we had a big UPS unit fail which took down most of our equipment for several hours. We have since bypassed power and are up and running again - our apologies for any inconvenience!

April Media Mixer

We are getting ready for an amazing lineup for our April Media Mixer. Presenters will be renowned photographer Sharon Caplan Cohen, whose work will be on display in the CMCM Gallery during April; and "Arizmendi's Secret," a documentary produced by CMCM member Phil Murphy in collaboration with videographer/editor Jeanette Egenlauf. Join the staff from Arizmendi Bakery for a sneak preview of this short subject before it airs on Marin TV.

Join us on Wednesday, April 1, 2015, 7:00 PM.
