The city of Rye and the Village of Mamaroneck held a joint meeting Friday, Sept. 25, to continue discussions on deer management in the two municipalities.
Both held a similar meeting earlier this year, and Friday’s hearing was a follow-up to go over “current and up-to-date issues and strategies,” as deer season approaches on Oct. 1.
Additionally, the two municipalities were calling on Westchester County to step up and assist with a deer management program that officials said the county was prepared to implement, particularly at the Marshlands Conservancy in Rye.
City of Rye Mayor Joe Sack and Village of Mamaroneck Mayor Norman Rosenblum recently sent a joint letter to Deputy County Executive Kevin Plunkett inquiring about the county’s plans in regards to this issue.
Check our Schedules page here to see when it will air again this week.

The election season has officially started and LMCTV will be offering its traditional “Meet the Candidates” show for all political parties in the upcoming election. For this campaign, we have established the following milestones:
Wednesday, July 22 – Campaign Period officially begins. Any candidate who hosts or produces a show may not continue with their show. This includes any and all candidates, even those running unopposed. Candidates are free to appear on other shows as invited.
A party running candidates for a local election, such as for a Board of Trustees, may produce two programs (deadlines below). A bonafide independent candidate running for a local election may also produce two programs.
A party running candidates for a Congress or NYS Assembly, may produce one program, due Tuesday, October 13th. Similarly an independent candidate for NYS Assembly may produce one program due Tuesday, October 13th.
Tuesday, September 15th – First “Meet the Candidates” program for local elections due by 10am at LMCTV Headquarters, 740 W. Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, Suite #311. That means political parties or bona fide independent candidates have until then to make their first show. The first “Meet the Candidates” programs will begin to air that day on our prime-time political programming blocks and will continue to air regularly and often until we begin running the second “Meet the Candidates” program (see below), which will also air on a regular basis.

LMCTV Official Political Programming Policies
LMCTV’s Board of Directors announced Monday a reorganization of its management effective immediately, according to LMCTV Board President Jefferson Meighan.
Under the new structure, former Executive Director Erik Lewis will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) focusing more on policy, strategic planning, “The Local Live” News Show and fundraising; while former Associate Director Matt Sullivan will assume the position of Chief Operating Officer (COO) running the day-to-day operations of the local cable TV network and focusing on community outreach. “We rely on Erik’s broad experience and guidance as we move toward a consolidation of our operations to better fulfill our mission,” said Meighan.
LMCTV, or Larchmont Mamaroneck Community Television, serves the tri-municipality (Villages of Mamaroneck & Larchmont and Town of Mamaroneck) by covering news, governmental meetings, board of education meetings, the arts & culture, community events, educational events and offers unique original programming. The network airs on channels 75, 76, 77 on Cablevision and 34, 35, 36 on Verizon/FiOS.
“For more than 15 years, Erik has been the face of LMCTV in our communities,” Meighan said. “Thankfully, we are not losing Erik, but gaining the expanded public managerial role of COO for Matt,” he explained. “Matt will be making the ‘community connection’ come alive,” he added. “This is a win-win for LMCTV and our viewing public,” he exclaimed.
Matt Sullivan, a native of Mamaroneck, continues his career in television which started under the tutelage of LMCTV Vice President Michael Witsch, while attending Mamaroneck High School. After studying film at Emerson College in Boston, Sullivan took his career to Los Angeles, working on several network television shows including Deal or no Deal, The Office, 24, House and Castle. “I’m happy to bring all of my experience back home and continue the mission of LMCTV,” said Sullivan.
In over 5 years working at LMCTV, Matt has redesigned the website, initiated a campaign for a new logo, allowed for LMCTV channels to be streamed online, transitioned to YouTube hosted videos, initiated indexed government meetings available on the internet and created an e-newsletter.
For more information, please contact COO Matt Sullivan @ msullivan@lmctv.org or call 914-381-2002 ext. 202. Visit us on the web @ www.lmctv.org.

This year’s 2015 New York Scary Film Award for Best Zombie Film goes to…Sobrevivo! The short film produced by LMCTV staff members Dena Schumacher and Matt Sullivan premiered in October of 2014 at the Shriekfest Film Festival in Hollywood. It also appeared in November at the Big Apple Film Festival in New York City. Director Matt Sullivan said, “We are honored to be chosen as Best Zombie Film at this year’s New York Scary Film Awards. Sobrevivo has been an incredible process for both Dena and I. We are so lucky to be surrounded by the amount of talented and generous people in this community who have helped bring our vision to both the big and small screen.” The film will continue its festival run, but is seeking donations from the public. “One of the things a lot of people don’t think about,” said Sullivan, “is what happens to the film after it’s made. The buck doesn’t stop once we yell, ‘That’s a wrap!’ There is still work and money required to bring the film to as many people as possible.” To aid in the promotion and festival run, please consider making a donation HERE. For more information on the film, you can visit the film’s official website HERE. The film also has its own Facebook and Twitter page.
