Streaming Video
MCAT is pleased to announce that it has begun testing streaming video of each channel from this website using Mogulus (follow this link to the Mogulus site). Use these links to Channel 7 and Channel 11, or under the Video Streams item on the navigation bar above. The City of Missoula continues to work on its own Video on Demand for city government meetings.
A New Look
The MCAT website has undergone a complete redesign with special emphasis on enhancing program and schedule information. Users are encouraged to use the new search feature (above on the schedule tab of the menubar). The MCAT Program Contract and Media Assistance Grant forms are now online for your convenience.
An informal survey of website visitors last year revealed some dissatisfaction with the old site's never changing quality. MCAT management is committed to keeping the new site updated and making information about the happenings at the station available to the public. Look for more information about MCAT programs and producers on this site in the coming months.
Please feel free to express your opinions about the makeover to the webmaster.
