Did you know that Nyon has its own television station? It's called Nyon Regional TV and is an excellent source of information and local news resource. They have a weekly news bulletin called "Vue sur le Lac" which is then repeated throughout the week.
The station also do "Vox-Pops" around the area in a section called "Texto".
This is where people are interviewed in the street to get their opinion on local or Swiss issues. Last week's interview asked people in Nyon on their opinion of the Swiss/Libyan hostage affair. You can see some of these interviews on line. Here is one from July when they asked where people were going on holiday this year.
There are also more in depth studio interviews discussing anything from local politics to current events happening around the town. There will be an interview this week on the upcoming vote on whether to almagamate the two police forces.
If you are learning French then you might want to look at one of their programmes called "Ma Boîte à Outils" which means "my toolbox".
Here, the TV station interviews individuals in their workplace, this maybe at home or on site in a local business. Not only is this a good way to learn about the people of Nyon and area, but it could help with your French as the interviews are repeated throughout the day, so what you didn't catch or understand the first time you can listen to and watch again. Previous interviewees have ranged from a local graphic artist to an animal osteopath to the owner of a printing shop. You may recognise one of the businesses or individuals that they speak to. Here's an interview with a ceramicist. There's a full lsting on the weeks programmes under Programme de la Semaine here.
At the moment Nyon TV is looking for music clips from local bands and local singers for the channel. If you know of anyone in this category and if they have a music clip of their work, then they can contact Yvan Mulone on nrtv@nyon.ch for more information (he speaks English). You never know, you or they may be on TV! Note: Clips of bands or vocalists singing in English are eligible, the geographical limit of "local" is approximately from Versoix to Morges.
