Luss Television Luss Television was first broadcast on Tuesday 3rd. October, 2006 at 7 p.m. The programme lasted thirty minutes and was repeated, by popular demand, on the following Saturday at 2 p.m. The first showing was watched by around one hundred and twenty-five computers (estimated at about three hundred people) in Canada, USA, Finland, Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, Cyprus, Australia, New Zealand and, of course, the United Kingdom. Now Luss Television transmits a weekly half-hour programme of news and current events – ‘Taking the Higher Road’ – each Tuesday from 7 to 7.30 p.m. This is a live broadcast, not a download, and is available through the Church web-site at www.lussonline.net The quality of picture and sound is exceptionally high – about the same as the BBC video pictures on its web-site. The major purpose of Luss Television is to keep in touch with those who have visited Luss, those who have been married here, or who plan to be married here. Because it is web-based we know that those who tune in to watch are those who really want to know what is going on here and to feel part of it. Our web-site enables people to give us feed-back and to contribute to the process of programme-making. Once the programme has been shown it is repeated on the screen at the cinema within our Heritage Centre (as the B movie before the big feature). Interesting items then find their way onto the display screens around the walls. New technology is constantly providing us with different opportunities of being a Church to the hundreds of thousands of people who visit us each year and we are fortunate to have within our number people with the talents to exploit and use this technology to the full – none more so than Andy who is in charge of this project.
