TRANSACTIONS NEWSLETTER ONLINE

Move over, Oprah. The world of daytime media got a little richer in May when MTC began audiocasting all of its Commission and standing committee meetings live on the MTC Web site, www.mtc.ca.gov. Anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can tune in simply by clicking on the microphone icon on the home page (RealPlayer software, available free on the Web, is required).

"Now residents will be able to follow Commission discussions from their offices or homes," said MTC Manager of Legislation and Public Affairs Randy Rentschler. Listeners also can access meeting agendas on the MTC Web site, and view them while listening to the meeting.

Past meetings will be archived on the Web site for several weeks so that visitors can listen at their convenience. To view a list of up-coming meetings that will be audiocast, visit www.mtc.ca.gov/meetings/schedule/.
