Tomorrow BATV is cablecasting a live streaming event on our Educational channel (Verizon 24, Comcast 99). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries is excited to announce that it is producing OceansLIVE broadcasts as the wooden whaleship Charles W. Morgan sails within Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. Originally built in 1841, Mystic Seaport has restored this National Landmark vessel to sailing condition over the past six years. During the summer of 2014, Mystic Seaport is taking the Morgan on its 38th Voyage, traveling to ports throughout New England. OceansLIVE will broadcast live shows from the water as she makes these historic trips! Check out the Voyage Live on BATV Friday July 11th from 10am through 4pm! 
If you missed the season finale of Jack Morris Live, you can still catch it on VOD below. 3 teams of students battled Billerica Superintendent, Tim Piwowar in a trivia extravaganza! All the participants looked like they had a blast and it was very nice to hear so much laughter flooding out of the studio. Congrats to all for a fun and successful season finale!
