Wheeling to be in National Spotlight<\/h1>\n
C-SPAN to reveal Wheeling history and highlight authors during week-long visit<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n
The Ohio County Public Library Archives and Special Collections, as well as the Wheeling Room, will be part of an upcoming C-SPAN broadcast all about Wheeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The network\u2019s\u00a02014 Cities Tour<\/strong> takes C-SPAN\u2019s Book TV<\/strong> and American History TV (AHTV)<\/strong> programming on the road. They travel to selected cities to feature the history and literary life of these communities. \u201cWe\u2019ve chosen cities that are rich with history and have interesting local literary communities, but not often featured on the national scene,\u201d said Coordinating Producer Debbie Lamb. \u201cWith our visit to each, we hope to bring a little of their heritage to our nationwide audience. Our producers will take our specially outfitted Local Content Vehicles (LCVs) into these selected cities, visiting various literary and historic sites, as we interview local historians, authors and civic leaders. Equipped to shoot and edit on location, we\u2019ll also meet with students, teachers, and local leaders to talk about the work we do for C-SPAN and our efforts in the community. The programming we record in Wheeling will air on Book TV\/C-SPAN2 Comcast channel 186 and American History TV\/C-SPAN3 Comcast channel 105 on January 17-18, 2015, as part of Wheeling Weekend. C-SPAN is available in Wheeling\u00a0on Comcast channel 5.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
