SUBJECT: New CityVision on MBTV 77
As part of Miami Beach's ongoing efforts to provide enhanced information about the City to
the community, we are now airing the latest edition of "CityVision" on MBTV 77, our
government access cable TV station. "CityVision" is a 30-minute magazine show produced
monthly by our Communications Department specifically to illustrate the City's progress in
meeting the goals of our Strategic Plan, and to provide information to our residents on
current events, programs and services that affect them. Attached, please find a DVD copy
of this latest program.
The July, 2007 "CityVision" was filmed inside the Jewish Museum of Florida. The program
includes a video tour of the museum and an interview with museum Founding Executive
Director Marcia Zerivitz. The June program features a report on the additional Miami Beach
Homestead Exemption for senior citizens, an inside look at the City's Answer Center, a CIP
update on new sewer pump stations, a view of Lincoln Road Mall expansion plans, a ride on
the Art Express Bus, and abehind-the-scenes peek as Fire Inspectors keep nightclubs safe
for patrons.
Future "CityVision" editions will, among other topics, update residents on our intensive
program to clean up Miami Beach alleyways, look at plans to rebuild South Pointe Park, visit
the beautifully renovated Colony Theatre, help launch our "25/7" branding program with a
new music video, sail along on the Miami Beach Architecture Cruise, and drop in on the
Parks & Recreation Department's Youth Tackle Football program.
"CityVision" is promoted on MBTV 77, in MB magazine, and in our weekly CityPage
published in the Miami Herald Neighbors section.
