July 24 Open Signal Live Interweb

Open Signal is Portland's public open source video stream.

The strength of Open Signal is their maker community, professional facilities, and their early embrace of diverse voices and engaging youth. For instance, they have a black filmmaker program and have built great content through that.

It was birthed in the "cable access" era, pre-low cost/no cost ad-supported and selling private data-supported, open source Internet video outlets like YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitch, and a hundred others.

But it was only available for individuals with cable.

Now they have watch.opensignalpdx.org in beta.
