Stephen Colbert's Only in Monroe - Support local media!
On Friday, May 22, Stephen Colbert took over Monroe Community Media's TV show "Only in Monroe", and then threw our set pieces into a dumpster fire! WOOHOO!
We're a tiny team at MCM, we work locally, we don't do projects like this ever. But the love and support we have received is incredible.
Public access centers are suffering all across the country because folks don't watch cable anymore and funding is extremely hard to come by. It's not common knowledge just how METAL public access is!!!
The fact that we're non-profit and hyper-local means we aren't designed for global domination like other media outlets. We just want our neighbors to make tv shows about their farms, or their cats, or their home renovations, or whatever else they're passionate about. Media in the hands of the people-- that's our bread 'n butter.
We wanna express our love to The Late Show who brought all this attention to lil ole us and our hard-working team. Because of this project, we've raised $7,500 in donations already!
Be apart of the movement, donate to local media:

Long live public access y'all!
