City of Glendale Debuts on YouTube

The award-winning shows from Glendale 11 have gone viral. Viewers can now find and share their favorite Glendale 11 shows and videos on the cable channel’s new official YouTube channel – www.youtube.com/myglendale11.

The channel, which joins the city’s growing network of social media outlets, serves as an online hub for Glendale 11’s programming to the YouTube audience. An ever-updating library of videos will be available on a regular basis, and fan favorites will continue to show up in the rotation. The channel allows worldwide users of this widely popular Internet tool to connect with the city of Glendale as well as see firsthand all it has to offer.

The launch of this channel also gives the city the opportunity to capitalize on viral video marketing, allowing users to share great Glendale 11 videos they see and pass them along, thus exposing more viewers.  

“YouTube is a great medium to use to showcase our award-winning programming,” said Julie Frisoni, assistant deputy city manager. “Sharing Glendale 11 videos online also exposes a potential worldwide audience to the benefits of visiting, investing and living in the City of Glendale.”  

Glendale has also joined Facebook and Twitter as ways to market and communicate important information.  Glendale is one of a few Valley cities using these free, online social networking tools to reach out to residents and one of the first in the West Valley to have a presence on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.   

Social Media Outreach Includes Facebook

The city’s Twitter page is Glendale’s latest addition to its social media outreach efforts. In January, the city launched its official Facebook page.

Facebook allows users to learn and connect with Glendale in an interactive environment. The popular social media tool has also allowed the city to reach out to millions of Facebook users and post informative content, as well as photos of the city, popular events and links to the main city Web sites. Facebook users can also watch a variety of highly produced videos from the city’s award-winning TV station, Glendale 11.

Users can find the city under the geographic groups section of Facebook and join the city’s group. You must have a Facebook account to join the group, but do not need to be a member to view the content or watch the online videos. 

Glendale is one of a small handful of Valley cities using these free, online social networking tools to reach out to residents and one of the first in the West Valley to have a presence on both Twitter and Facebook. Click here to go to our Facebook page.
