U-verse customers now can view Olathe City Council meetings

Olathe Comcast subscribers aren't the only ones who can watch city programming on their TVs.

City Council meetings are now available to AT&T U-verse subscribers, according to an announcement from the company Tuesday.

The council meetings and other city and Johnson County programming that had been available only on Comcast cable channel 7 now can be seen by selecting Olathe Government Television on U-verse channel 99.

“Olathe is the only city in Johnson County that provides a government-access channel," Mayor Mike Copeland said in a statement. "Olathe Government Television allows residents to view their City Council and Planning Commission meetings from their homes, which is a very important tool to ensure open and accountable government.”

City Council meetings are broadcast at 7 p.m. the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Planning Commission meetings are broadcast at 7 p.m. the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Johnson County Commission meetings can be seen at 9 a.m. every Thursday.

Other programming rounds out the 24-hour coverage the channel provides. For information about programming, visit www.olatheks.org/news/channel7.
