The award winning Communications Department is dedicated to informing the public of what is going on within the City of Sarasota, whether it is a much anticipated park opening, an exciting redevelopment in north Sarasota or a change in the solid waste collection schedule. All City Commission meetings are produced by the Communications Department, shown live and also replayed on Access Sarasota 19 throughout Sarasota County. Planning Board meetings are also shown live and replayed on Channel 19. The City of Sarasota is proud to be the only municipality in Sarasota County currently providing closed captioning for its government meetings. The Communications staff also produces three award winning television programs: “City Life”, “City Focus” and “On Patrol”. For more information on these popular half-hour shows see the below descriptions.
   
 

 

"City Life" is a news-magazine style show featuring topics of interest in and around the City of Sarasota. Each episode consists of a segment spotlighting a particular city neighborhood, an update from the Police Department, a segment called "Beyond the Desk", where we take a look at one of our employees and their life outside of work, and many other interesting stories. Hosted by Jan Thornburg, the award-winning "City Life" is action-packed, fast-paced, and enjoys tremendous popularity in our community.
 
“Commissioner’s Corner” is an engaging new talk show on Access Sarasota. Each month a different City Commissioner slides into the host seat and discusses a timely topic of their choice with one or two guests, who typically are experts on the subject. The show provides viewers with an opportunity to learn about an issue impacting the City of Sarasota in an unfiltered, uninterrupted format. Most editions of “Commissioner’s Corner” will feature critical issues which are all but ignored by the local media. Watch for “Commissioner’s Corner” on Access Sarasota!
