Hey, Burlington Telecom subscribers! This is your big chance to be on Al Jazeera!

The Arab news network has hired a local film crew to record the public meeting tonight at City Hall, where two advisory boards discuss BT’s recent announcement that it will drop the channel from its cable lineup. Show up at Burlington City Hall at 4 p.m. tonight to add your two cents to the debate and you might get 15 seconds of fame.

Whether you’ll be able to tune in to see the broadcast is still up in the air…

UPDATE: If you can’t make it tonight, you can watch the live video stream on the CCTV website.

UPDATE II: Oops. What I meant was, BT subscribers can watch the meeting live on Channel 317. The program will air at a later date on the website, and on Channel 17. Sorry for the confusion.
