ON THE SHOW THIS MONTH:

Local Chicago groups have criticized and protested the Chicago bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics, saying the Olympics would draw away funding from many badly needed local public services. Here are two segments documenting Chicagoans opposition to the bid -- one involving the Chicago Critical Mass bike ride, another involving a Federal Plaza visit timed to a visit by the International Olympic Commmittee.

WHO WE ARE:
We are the Chicago Indymedia Video Collective. We operate along the same lines as Indymedia, fostering the same ideals and processes. We are a collective of media producers, activists, videographers and concerned citizens offering your alternative to mainstream corporate coverage of local and international events, movements and expression. In the summer of 2003 the idea of an independent television show, free from corporate bias and serving the needs of the community, was conceived. Chicago Independent Television is the result of that movement.

Our mission is to provide YOUR CORPORATE NEWS ALTERNATIVE.

PLEASE JOIN US!
Our Video Collective meets at 7PM every 1st and 3rd Monday. We often change meeting venues - please contact us if you're planning to attend a meeting.
