NineNorth airs over a thousand hours of local programming per year. Of that number, 127 are directly focused on St. Anthony. NineNorth provides production of all St. Anthony City Meetings. This totaled 63 meetings in 2024 alone. We also cover major St. Anthony events such as the Villagefest Parade, the Civic Orchestra’s 50th Anniversary Concert, and numerous other events. We produce Candidate Forums for St. Anthony Mayor and Council races, along with applicable State House and Senate races. We offer Candidate Speak Outs, where candidates can let their views be known. We also produce “Spotlight” stories on people, places, history, and events in our 9 cities including 18 stories focusing on St. Anthony in the last year. Overall, we have had a 500% increase in our production of “Spotlight” stories in the last year. NineNorth also does facility assessments for St. Anthony facilities, offering suggestions on equipment upgrades and facility efficiency. 2025 and Beyond As part of NineNorth’s Objectives and Goals for 2025, we are anticipating another 50% increase in our our coverage of community and civic events for St. Anthony and the other member cities. In addition to expanding our public digital newsletter, we are adding a “City Staff/Officials” newsletter to better inform City Staff and Officials on what we’re doing and how we can help. We’re also expanding our presence at community events over the spring and summer, by not only covering the events, but participating in the event with a booth or table. We’ve recently updated our studios to 4K with a new production switcher and cameras. This will give us increased capabilities to serve our member cities better. We are actively using and testing AI tools to expand our capabilities, and to speed up our production workflow to produce even more content.
