Media Bridges Cincinnati

I am not giving one star to Media Bridges. I am writing this because sadly I just discovered this place from the reviews and wanted to look into the free classes. How amazing it would be to have access to this type of equipment and the certification to do it all for FREE. I clicked on the web page and discovered that they had closed because of Time Warner Cable discontinuing the funding they had originally provided. Then the City of Cincinnati came in to help, only to pull the funding after the first year. I am incredibly disappointed by this, and it seems that anything geared towards the creatives of this town is never free any more. It appears that reasons like this are exactly why. So incredibly frustrating and disappointed that I never ever got to try something like this. I hate to see something like this taken away.

How can you give Media Bridges anything less than five stars? It’s a fully functional TV studio /​Radio Station /​Editing Bay /​Equipment House /​Digital Media Lab that you can use … for FREE! What? Yes.
Media Bridges is a non-​profit that wants to educate anyone on how to stay connected with the modern world. You have to go in to be certified on whatever you’d like to do and take classes./ Once you pass those, the world is your oyster. You can take out equipment like cameras and projectors and whatever you need to make your mark.
There is nothing else like this in Cincinnati. Hell, I haven’t heard of anything else like this anywhere around here.
They have their own radio station (95.7 WVQC) which has scheduled programming from local DJs. Not sure how they give out those spots and they may be all filled but I’m sure there is a waiting list and it’s worth getting on it if you’ve ever wanted your own radio show. They also provide content for public access channels, so you can see yourself on TV as well.
It’s a great space, is open to all and is free. How can you hate anything like that. Broadcast on, my friends.

Ever wanted to make your own TV show… for FREE?! You can do it here.
Media Bridges is a non-​profit cable station located at Race and Central Parkway. If you are a Cincinnati resident, you can come here to learn how to create your own television show and have it broadcast. How so?
1.) Call up Media Bridges. Ask to signup for their television classes. They also have radio classes if music is more your thing.
2.) Attend the required classes and learn how to use the equipment. Ask questions!
3.) Once you are proficient, you can borrow video cameras, use the station’s television studio or radio pod to create your own show. Media Bridges also has several editing suites so that you can put together your show and add graphics and effects.
4.) When you have a completed show, you can burn it to DVD and schedule it for broadcast.
Pretty cool, eh?
Media Bridges is community centric and promotes freedom of speech. As long as your message is tastefully produced, you can make a show about anything: hobbies, cartoons, talk show, politics, music, religion… your imagination is the limit.

I love Media Bridges. Why? Because I do a radio show there on Monday nights from 8pm-​9pm. Salina Underground. We serve up tasty music both local indie bands and other international finds.
There are classes you can take and different programs offered. It’s a great organization bringing radio and television to the people, by the people.

Love this organization — you can take classes to get certified. Once «certified» you can check out equipment for free. My hope is that Media Bridges can serve to house many of the programs now homeless that were once apart of WAIF.
Bridges also has some children programs (not on air but physical programs for educational purposes) that are listed on their website — Cincinati literally has no other org doing what Media Bridges does. Very few cities do actually so this org really deserves to be supported. They have just gotten their new transmitter and I hope to see this org grow and blossom.

Media Bridges is a local non-​profit that provides access and education to the community on technology and technology resources.
They just recently moved downtown on Race and Central Parkway. The center offers free classes to the community on things such as video production, graphic design, web design, Once someone has taken classes there, they can have access to use the electronics and equipment that Media Bridges owns. They also produce programming on their four local access channels for many local organizations.
They pride themselves on being one of the many organizations that have moved into Over the Rhine to help it’s revitalization and growth as a booming cultural and arts neighborhood. I am actually looking into taking some classes there soon. I hear that they are somewhat hard to get into as they are free!
