Future MNN Facility in Harlem
Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN) is notorious for offering cutting edge programming that is both entertaining and often educational. Last year, we wrote about MNN’s plan to expand their facilities to a firehouse in East Harlem. MNN has since posted renderings of the satellite facility that will offer the following services:
- Live Broadcast & production Studios
- Multi-Purpose Meeting, Exhibition & Performance Space
- New Media Training and Mentoring for Adults and Youth
- Editing, Camera and Studio Facilities
- Broadband Access and Training
In addition, “A key component of the new Firehouse will be a stand-alone Youth Media Center, offering New Economy skills and job training to young people between the ages of 12-25. The Youth Media Center will also produce 20-hours a week of programming made by youth, for youth, that will air on MNN’s four cablecast channels to more than 600,000 subscribers in Manhattan.”
You can read the history of the firehouse and learn more about the project at MNN.org.
