“:TV 10 is giving back to the communities,” where its viewers live. That’s how the station’s news director, Dwight Dugas, explained the station’s thinking about going into the communities to make live “Hello Acadiana” news broadcasts.
The event will include more than news, including food and a live performance by one of this area’s own Geno Delafose.
It began on Friday, May 2, inside and outside of Ville Platte, to get footage that will be used in feature stories during the Wednesday afternoon news broadcast. Among the locations a film crew visited in the city were the new ball park and new main library, the future home of the Ville Platte Boys and Girls Club, the Community Garden that was planted last week and the MLK Center. The film crew also visited Mamou and Turkey Creek.
The crew setting up in the pavilion expected to be working four or five hours before everything was ready for the live broadcast.
Mayor Vidrine said people had been calling city hall from a number of places away from the city to get directions to the Northside Civic Center.
