Public access channel opens up its mics

Ventura's public-access channel will hold "Open Mic Days" where people can sit down in front of a camera and say what's on their minds for three minutes, organizers said.

Participants must live, work or go to school in Ventura. Individuals will be responsible for their remarks and will have to sign a waiver releasing Community Access Partners of San Buenaventura, or CAPS-TV, from liability. The segments will be compiled into shows titled "What's On Your Mind, Ventura?" and "What's On Your Mind, Ventura — After Dark."

The shows will air on cable Channel 6 on both local cable providers, Time Warner and Charter.

"Open Mic Days" will occur two days each month — from 2 to 8 p.m. on the second Thursday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the fourth Friday. The segments will be taped at CAPS media center, 65 Day Road, Ventura.

For more information, call Rich Burlingham at 658-0500.
