Community television channels
are available to most communities in Newfoundland and Labrador.
A Community Television Programming
Kit has been developed through the Newfoundland and Labrador Heart
Health Program to promote a heart healthy lifestyle to people
in Newfoundland and Labrador using the existing community television
network.
The kit is designed for use by
community groups and community cable operators to develop television
programs for Heart Health. It is made up of the following:
A manual which provides guidelines on how to plan community television
programs for Heart Health.
Resource modules which contain printed material and videos focusing on
the lifestyle characteristics that reduce peoples risk for heart disease,
not smoking, being physically active and having healthy eating habits.
Demonstration videos which give examples of how some local communities have
organized community television programs.
