Watch, Listen to 2009 Legislature
During the 2009 legislative session, Montanans will be able for the first time to use the legislative website to watch their elected representatives debate policy issues in the House and Senate.
Gavel-to-gavel coverage of floor sessions will be broadcast online live beginning Jan. 5, the first day of the 61st session. Floor sessions generally will begin at 1 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 8 a.m. most Saturdays. The broadcasts will also be archived for later viewing.
To access the video broadcasts, visit http://www.leg.mt.gov/broadcast. Viewers will need RealPlayer software. A free version is available by following the link on the Legislative Internet Broadcasts web page.
The Legislative Council recently authorized expanding the state government broadcast service called TVMT, beyond Helena, so that more Montanans can watch the Legislature in action, both in committees and on the floor.
To find out if TVMT programming is available in your area:
