     Several Town Tech students and other Portland High students, along with government officials, have created the new public access program Portland On the Move. Each show highlights a different aspect of the Town of Portland, with shows already airing showcasing the police and fire departments, the Portland Library, the Water Department's Conservation Outreach Program, Y2k, the Holocaust, Portland Quarries & Main street Program, and Portland's firework display. Guests on the show have included Senator Eileen Daily, Rep. Jim O'Rourke, Sgt. Dapkus, Officer Paranzino, Laurel Goodgion, Dave Powers, Robert Petzold, James Hill, Joseph Korzenik, Emil Brand, Mayor Dominique S. Thorton  and Dr. Henry Lee.

     The show not only intends to reemphasize the relationship between students and the town, but allows students to take an active role in managing, writing, and production of a television show. The show also has allowed the town to develop a relationship with Comcast.
