Corners counties of Montezuma and Dolores, as well as parts of western La Plata County and eastern San Juan County in southeast Utah, and parts of northwestern New Mexico, according to a news release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is funny how you fall into things at certain points in your life,\u201d said Jekekiah Coy, co-founder and CEO of Mesa TV. \u201cThe co-founder and I went to the same church, and it was just one of those things like, \u2018Hey, you wanna start a TV station?\u2019 So we are doing it for the community and we are doing it for the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mesa TV broadcasts live on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCFRdIFh2Dua4CwWVclDpfzA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> and over-the-air antenna TV on channel 30.6.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are encouraging the community to contact us with local news and upcoming events,\u201d said Coy in a news release. \u201cWe also have a real desire to see our local high school students become involved, possibly in such areas as the production of their own weekly newscast to be aired on Mesa TV.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coy said that Mesa TV is seeking a sponsor for local basketball game streaming.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to the future, Mesa TV hopes to start an internship program, providing the opportunity to learn the profession of broadcast media and TV and video production with hands-on experience.<\/p>\n<p>Successful completion of the program could lead to a future staff position, according to the news release.<\/p>\n<p>Mesa TV partners with Montezuma-Cortez High School to video record games, concerts, dramas or other programs to be broadcast at a later time.<\/p>\n<p>Mesa TV also hopes to start a weekly, 30-minute newscast focused on positive, local news.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Coy will offer a midweek class for the public titled, \u201cIntroduction to Video Editing\u201d for a fee through the Cortez Cultural Center <a href=\"https:\/\/cortezculturalcenter.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will need a version of Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum and a personal laptop.<\/p>\n<p>According to a news release, a separate class may be offered in the future on the \u201cIntroduction to Digital Photography and Art,\u201d and class sizes will be limited for the sake of individualized instruction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis community is awesome, and I just want to say that we do it for the community,\u201d Coy said. \u201cWe want to have people communicate with us and call us with their ideas and stuff and it is what we are here for, to serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Contact Coy at Jedekiah@ mesatv.co or 970-560-0574 with any questions, comments or suggestions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TV\u2019s
