City of Nashua Announces New Channel 16 NASHUA, Nov. 11, 2013/Division of Public Works/- In an effort to better connect with residents, the City of Nashua is going to be utilizing local broadcast channel 16 to disseminate messages and announcements of varying importance. Channel 16 will be used as a means of daily communication with the residents of Nashua. Messages and announcements will be updated twice daily by the Division of Public Works' Citizen Services Coordinator, who will also act as an authenticator, ensuring message accuracy. The Citizen Services Coordinator will also help citizens to make sense of the information and how it may affect them. The City of Nashua is not the first municipality to pursue such a venture. Neighboring communities Merrimack, Milford and Manchester have been communicating to local residents through a local broadcast channel for several years with great success. Many of the residents in these communities have applauded the speed in which information is updated and the level of accuracy that accompanies it. What they have also come to appreciate is that the information is available on the town/city website, as well, not simply restricted to just the local channel.
