OCTT Channel 13

Description

You have to be really old to remember when Spiro Agnew characterized American intellectuals as an effete corps of impudent snobs a mouthful in any age, but pretty accurate despite its prolixity. In those days, the impudent snobs urged, Kill your TV! Today, the snobs' grandchildren have commuted television's death sentence, condemning it instead to life on arcane, esoteric web-enabled channels like OCTT, Channel 13. Think of OCTT, Channel 13, as the official wonk channel, at least as much as the several CSPAN networks. In fact, in the digital age, OCTT may put the belt in beltway, because, if it is on or about or even vaguely related to DC cable television, it is regulated or broadcast by OCTT. Name a Congressional committee, no mater how obscure, and you will find its proceedings on-demand on OCTT. On any random day, you will find everything from the Committee on Human Services to hearings on Government Operations and the Environment. OCTT also manages the District's educational channels, and it offers its own original programming. Tune in every week for programs designed to teach you all about visiting, living in, or working in the nation's capital. OCTT empowers you to be as impudently snobbish as all your hardcore intellectual friends.

You have grown unbearably weary of unreal housewives in all geographies; you are frustrated because great new series run on USA for only eight weeks before they disappear with only vague promises they will return. You have watched every crime drama rerun on TNT twice. And you have abandoned all hope of keeping up with any single Kardashian let alone all of them. You really weren't all that interested in Bruce Jenner anyway. So, instead of watching television ripped from the headlines, why don't you watch television that actually makes headlines? Why not run your fingers over the vital organs in the body politic? Spend a few hours with Michigan's House of Representatives and State Senate, tuning in to House Television, more properly Michigan Government Television, or MGTV for short. Why Michigan? you naturally wonder. In fact, you have two serious reasons for dialling in to MGTV: First, it was one of the first state-owned and operated public-service channels in the nation and still is one of the most inclusive. Second, if you missed Eminem's and Chrysler's messages, MGTV will show you exactly how the beleaguered home of the auto industry aggressively is mounting a comeback. MGTV televises House and Senate committees, and it shows meetings of executive branch commissions, where the gears of government really grind. MGTV also broadcasts meetings of the state's Board of Education, and it often airs programs from its prestigious universities no stuff for lightweights. Best, MGTV is one of the few channels that airs oral arguments before the state's Supreme Court, so that you can see some of the nation's finest legal minds and some of its most prominent litigators doing their best work.
