The concept for this channel is to draw upon and feature the many diverse ethnic and cultural groups in Albuquerque and from around the state. Some of the community organizations involved with Encantada TV are:
- Students and teachers involved in arts programs;
- The performing arts community such as dance and theatre;
- The Albuquerque and New Mexico music scene;
- Programs by non-profits that involve youth with art;
- Cultural and community centers such as the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, the South Broadway Cultural Center, the National Hispanic Cultural Center;
- The Institute of American Indian Arts;
- NM Athletic Association;
- Albuqerque Thunderbirds;
- Local Filmmakers;
- And many more!
-
Current Programming Blocks: Indigenous, ProView Sports Network (local sports including High School sports from around the state);
-
Documentaries and magazine format programs on trends, history and how each ethnic group fits into and contributes to the mix of New Mexico society;
-
Features on art and cultural expression;.
-
Art education projects with the participation of students from elementary school through university level as well as working artists from around the state. This would include all arts, including the performing arts. This would also involve distance learning, instruction, and seminars conducted by educators and artists alike;
-
Productions of cultural events from around Albuquerque (live using the I-Net, or taped) such as Juneteenth, and Cinco de Mayo;
-
New Mexico films and film festivals;
-
Forums, conferences and symposiums on culture, the arts, history, diversity and education pertaining to all of these issues;
-
Bi-lingual education programs of instruction and language instruction. Programs include English, Spanish and Navajo;
-
The teaching of media literacy as it relates to ethnic and cultural diversity as well as its impact and influence upon adolescents and other age groups.
The Benefits to the Community of this channel would be first and foremost to create a greater awareness of cultural diversity. It serves as a wonderful venue for the development and exposure of the arts in Albuquerque and from around the state. Art education programs would find a home and means of promotion through such a channel. The channel generates opportunities for students to gain internships or employment through their participation, given the exposure they could receive. The promotion of the tremendous cultural diversity that is represented in Albuquerque is also a means of promoting its economic development. The tourism industry in New Mexico relies heavily on this very characteristic of our local society.
Showcasing Local Filmmakers & Films: This channel also fits in perfectly with the plan of the State Film Office and the Governor to promote the film industry in the state. A central concept of the state’s plan is to emphasize the cultural distinctness of New Mexico as the niche that the state can gain in the film industry. This channel features the work of New Mexico filmmakers and films produced here.
