Television screens in public places are a common sight these days. They share entertainment and information everywhere from hospital waiting rooms and railroad stations to taverns and churches. Around Glengarry, television screens are being used to tell stories of the community’s people and history, and to share information that is important to residents.
Glengarry TV is based in Alexandria and links social media and website platforms together as a means of delivering the stories of Glengarry to audiences. The service is owned by Alain Lauzon who has a deep appreciation for Glengarry’s history and understands how much Glengarry residents appreciate local heritage. Sales Director Leonard Thevenot also shares this appreciation and enthusiasm.
Through a growing network of digital displays placed across the region—in cafés, community hubs, shops, and public buildings—Glengarry TV shares a steady stream of timely, hyperlocal content. Programming ranges from municipal council to historical features, artist profiles, spotlights on local music, and interviews through shows like Over the Fence, Northern Perspective, and Glengarry Roots. Examples of content include interviews with local mayors and presentations given at the Glengarry Historical Society’s Speaker’s Series. Francophone content is featured on programs such as, Il y a déjà. The website also includes an opinion column and complete directory of all current and past programs.
