Social Media Customer Use Guidelines
While it is the duty of the City to provide residents, visitors, and the general public with an avenue to give feedback and voice concerns and opinions, we must also create a space where all members of the public feel safe and comfortable to do so. To assist in this endeavor, the City has developed a series of content guidelines which all users interacting with

City of Midland social media accounts must follow. Prohibited Content Guidelines
The following types of content are prohibited from being posted on, sent to, or utilized on a City of Midland social media platform:

Profane or obscene language or content;
Content that promotes or perpetuates discrimination against protected classes;
Content intended to sexually harass others;
Content that encourages or promotes illegal activity;
Spam, including multiple messages from the same user containing the same content, or content intended to sell a product or service;
Content that violates intellectual property interests of any third party (i.e. copyright or trademark infringement);
Content that includes sensitive personal identifying information about a City staff member, elected ofﬁcial, or another social media user, including, but not limited to social security numbers, ﬁnancial account numbers, home or workplace addresses, personal phone numbers, or driver’s license numbers. A workplace address may be considered acceptable for a City staff member if it is relevant for the purposes of meeting with or communicating with the staff member in the course of his or her employment. Information that may compromise the safety or security of the public, including public systems and infrastructure;
Threats of violence towards a City staff member, an elected ofﬁcial, another social media user, or any other individual or group;
“Trolling” - posting inﬂammatory or inappropriate comments or content for the purpose of upsetting other users and provoking an emotional response or disrupting on-topic discussion. Failure to abide by these guidelines after warning may result in users' comments being removed, hidden, and/or their accounts being blocked from communicating with City social media channels. A link to this document on the City’s website should be provided in the “About” or “Bio” sections of each City social media channel where available. Violations to Social Media Customer User Policy
When a user violates the City’s social media guidelines, it is important not to immediately remove the offending content or ban the user without warning. If possible, “hide” the offending content and follow the notiﬁcation steps below. Notify the user that they have violated the City’s social media policy and describe the violation in detail. If the platform allows content editing:
Provide the user one (1) hour to edit a comment or message and inform them that failure to do so will result in the removal of the comment or message. If the allotted time elapses without an edit, remove the comment and ﬁle a Social Media Action Report. If the platform does not allow content editing, warn the user that future violations will result in their being banned from engaging with the current City channel. If the user escalates the violation, remove any additional violations without a warning message. If a user incurs multiple violations in a single day and/or exhibits an implicit or explicit disregard for the City’s social media guidelines after being warned, ban or block the user from engaging on the platform where the violation occurred. In the instance where a comment must be removed or a user blocked or banned from interacting with a City social media channel, the City social media account manager should complete a Social Media Action Report (located in the appendix) to document the incident. All social media action reports should be completed and forwarded to the Communications Coordinator within 24 hours of action being taken. In general, an instance of 3 or more social media action reports ﬁled against a single user in a 3-month period will result in the individual being banned/blocked from the social media account on which the violation(s) took place; however, more egregious violations may result in an immediate termination of the user’s ability to engage.

🎉👏 *Forty days, countless memories, and a *whole* lot of Midland pride!* Today, as our “40 Years of MCTV in 40 Days” journey comes to a close, we want to give a huge (like, *really huge*) thank you to each and every one of you who tuned in, tagged friends, shared a laugh, reminisced, or maybe just raised an eyebrow at some of those ‘80s fashions we dug up! 😅📺

To our volunteers who’ve given their time, our community producers who’ve poured their hearts (and sometimes their best impersonations of local celebrities) into shows, and to every single viewer who hit “like” or “share”—you’ve been part of making this celebration truly special. 🙌

From the wild public access moments that made us snort-laugh, to the heartfelt historical pieces that reminded us why Midland is such a unique place, *you* made this trip through the MCTV archives feel like one big family reunion—minus the potato salad debates. 🥔😂

So here’s to 40 years of creativity, collaboration, and community spirit—and here’s to *you*, the stars of the show! Let’s keep telling stories, making memories, and of course, never forgetting where we came from. ❤️🎥

A well deserved recognition for one of MCTV's own, Kris Ferguson. Congratulations Kris!

✨ **Celebrating 40 Years of Community Connection** ✨

Today, we’re pausing to reflect on MCTV’s remarkable journey, as recently highlighted in the Midland Daily News (December 9, 2024). For four decades, MCTV has been a place where local voices shine, where our community’s stories can unfold, and where people of all ages learn to create media that matters.

We are deeply grateful for everyone who has contributed to MCTV’s success—past and present. To our volunteers who’ve dedicated thousands of hours, ensuring vital programs and events found their way into Midland’s homes—thank you. To our former and current staff members whose tireless creativity and passion helped MCTV adapt through changing technology and times—you’ve paved the way for us all. And to our viewers, donors, and community partners who continue to tune in, share content, and encourage the next generation of storytellers—your support is at the heart of what we do.

As MCTV Manager Matthew Richardson noted, staying vibrant in 2024 is a testament to the value of local, community-centered media. It’s a promise that our city’s stories, voices, and dreams will always find a platform. This celebration is not just about honoring the past 40 years; it’s about looking forward to the future—toward a community-based hub for communication and media literacy that will serve Midland for decades to come.

Let’s keep building this legacy together! If you’ve ever volunteered, worked behind the scenes, or simply watched a program that made you smile or think, this moment is yours. Please join us in celebrating—tag a friend, share a memory, and let’s continue to uplift local voices. Here’s to the next 40 years of creativity, collaboration, and community pride!

MCTV celebrates 40 years of service in the Midland area and has evolved over the decades to provide community media.

🎶🌟 *Picture it: 1997.* Midland’s streets hum with a quiet anticipation. Across town, where the rival high school stands proud, a different kind of spotlight awaits. This is no ordinary showcase, my friends—this is the **H.H. Dow High Ren Fair 1997**! 🎉🕺

Think West Side Story, but swap the finger-snapping street gangs for starry-eyed students armed with talent and dreams. On one side of town, Midland High had its Rhapsody Rendezvous… but over here, at Dow High, the stage transforms into a veritable renaissance of theatrical brilliance! 🎭✨

As the lights dim, voices soar, and instruments tune up, the performers step into their moment—dancers whirl in perfect harmony, singers belt notes that shimmer with possibility, and jesters (okay, maybe just a few brave souls) bring laughter that echoes through the halls. It’s the kind of night that makes hearts beat faster and rivalries fade to applause. 🌹🎼

Hit play, tag your classmates, friends, or anyone who dared to step into the limelight on that unforgettable evening. Whether you were cheering in the audience, performing under those hot stage lights, or still humming the tunes years later, tonight, everyone’s a star. 🌟✨

Welcome to the MCTV Community Voices YouTube channel. This episode of H.H. Dow High School Renaissance Fair 1997 was produced by community members. 🎶🌟 *Pic...

🎭✨ *Laaaaadies and gentlemeeeen!* Step right up and prepare to be whisked back in time to the grand spectacle that was *Rhapsody Rendezvous 1995!* 🎶🎉

Today’s *40 Years in 40 Days* release transports us to a Midland High School auditorium bursting with teenage artistry, creativity, and at least a few questionable ’90s fashion choices. Imagine it: the spotlight burns bright, the applause thunders, and our intrepid high school virtuosos belt, strum, and shimmy their way into local legend. It’s part talent show, part variety extravaganza—and wholly *unforgettable!* 💃🕺

From angelic voices hitting high notes so pure they could make your grandma sob with joy, to comedic sketches that *might* have been written during math class, and songs that still echo through the halls of memory—this is the kind of show you didn’t know you missed until now! 😱🎼

Hit play, tag your old classmates and drama club buddies, and get ready to bask in the glorious glow of Midland’s mid-’90s talent. Dare we say, it’s a masterpiece worthy of jazz hands and standing ovations! 🌟🙌

Cool gadgets you didn’t even know existed? Double check. 🧪🔬 It’s like stepping into a lab where every experiment could crack a case wide open.

While the video is packed with fascinating facts and science-y stuff, it’s also a thoughtful reminder of the dedication and brilliance of the forensic experts who work tirelessly to bring justice to our communities. 👏🕵️‍♀️
