Livingston, TX, November 14, 2019 —Livingston Communications (“LivCom”), a USConnect Company, announced today that it has launched a new local channel, LivCom Local Channel 71, which is available on LivCom’s Cable TV offering, Skitter TV. LivCom Local provides a variety of community programming to Livingston residents and allows the Livingston High School AV students to broadcast their own productions. Providing local content that is relevant to the community furthers LivCom’s initiative to invest in the future of Livingston.
“We are excited to bring the Livingston community its own local channel and give the Livingston High School AV students real-world experience and delight in turning their hard work into programming that can be viewed by their peers, family and the Livingston community,” commented Deborah Rand, CEO of USConnect.
