The first ever House cable channel is on the air!
A variety of programming is now offered on Channel 25 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Monday through Friday. The daily schedule is listed throughout the day, and to help
our viewers know if they would like to record something they cannot watch "live," the
next day's programs are also given at the end of each broadcast day.
Designed as a training tool for our customers, programming is offered in three
categories:
1) Instruction on the office systems used by Member offices. Programs are
offered at the intro-ductory and intermediate to advanced levels in Windows 95,
Excel, Lotus 123, Word,
Word Perfect and other software programs.
2) Informational programming. Programming includes a variety of programs on
topics such as using The Congressional Record, Congressional Casework, Ethics,
computer data security, and CAO Services. For example, since information on
obtaining official photos for Members is in high demand, a program is offered on how
to use the CAO Office of Photography.
Soon, Channel 25 will offer information on all of the resources offered by the CAO,
as well as information of general interest from the Clerk's office, Sergeant At Arms,
Architect of The Capitol and Attending Physician.
3) Employee Development. Current broadcasting in this area includes the
prestigious Baldrige Awards and a special presentation by Quality Management
Pioneer, Philip A. Crosby. These pro-grams are designed to illustrate successful
management principles for first-rate organizations in the private sector that can be
used in any organization. A "World Class Speakers" series is planned featuring other
internationally renowned business leaders.
