The City of Boulder has launched a weekly news program called Inside Boulder on Municipal Channel 8, airing Fridays at 7 p.m. Inside Boulder features city news and events and covers city-related topics in a format reminiscent of morning news/talk shows.

The half-hour show includes local news as well as interviews with city officials and community leaders. In addition, Inside Boulder highlights recreational activities such as a two-minute workout with city parks and recreation staff.

City spokesman Patrick von Keyserling said the new show is designed to provide timely news for residents and showcase city services available to them. He added that the city is also launching a social media component with Channel 8’s 2010 line-up.

The “City of Boulder Channel 8” Facebook page will introduce social media fans to the city’s Channel 8 hosts, invite comments on current shows and interview topics, as well as involve residents in providing news tips of interest to the community.
