On Thursday, Sept. 20, many of those questions and more will no doubt be answered. Why? Because that is when Vizicast Multimedia Inc. will be in town to make a special presentation at the FREE Middletown Area Business Association (MABA) Back to School Business Mixer at the Middletown High School's Multi-Use Center, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
There will be food, refreshments and door prizes (provided by MABA members and our special guest, Vizicast Multimedia Inc.). The general public is encouraged to attend.
Vizicast Multimedia Inc. is the parent company of SFTV, San Francisco Television. SFTV creates multimedia content for visitors utilizing various multimedia tools. SFTV is a division of Vizicast Multimedia Inc. and is the official television program created and produced specifically for San Francisco visitors, viewed on the televisions in the comfort and privacy of the visitor’s hotel room.
Through the utilization of a Vizicast Multimedia Solution, San Francisco Television is now completely digital! The new SFTV digital television program highlights the colorful history, charm and allure of the world's most favorite city, San Francisco. The program gives the visitors information and recommendations on some of the best places in the Bay Area. Recommendations on local attractions, dining, entertainment, shopping, nightlife and much, much more.
Each month, SFTV is viewed by more than 100,000 people who stay in the SFTV network of more than 9,200 Class "A" hotel rooms located in 19 major San Francisco hotels. SFTV is free to viewers and is available 24 hours a day. Local, regional and national advertisers promote their products and services using San Francisco as a backdrop for their messages.
SFTV also can be seen in the San Francisco Visitor Information Center. Brian Baker, vice president of advertising for the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau says, "The inclusion of SFTV into our visitor center offers our guests the opportunity to view the city as only television can present it ... while they are still in the decision-making process about where they want to go."
Kevin Comora, executive producer of SFTV, says, "The addition of the Visitor Information Center to the SFTV network benefits both San Francisco visitors and SFTV advertisers. SFTV is a wonderful introduction to San Francisco and the Bay Area."

With Oct. 18 being the date set for MABA's annual dinner, Lake County businesses could not pick a better time to not only attend a MABA Mixer, but join the organization.
MABA's Annual Business Directory has not yet been published, so there is still time to get included. Applications for membership in MABA will be available at the mixer.

In announcing the acquisition, said, “The Keys Landing office in Clearlake Oaks becomes our seventh sales office and gives us branch offices in every major area in Lake County,” said Philip Smoley, broker/owner of CPS Country Air. “Jim O’Dell and his eight agents have established a strong base in the Clearlake Oaks area and will add strength to our overall sales team.”
O’Dell, broker/owner of Keys Landing said he was extremely pleased to be joining the Country Air team. “They have the best marketing program in the county and will help us accelerate our growth in the greater Clearlake Oaks area,” he said. “If you can’t beat them, join them!”
The Keys Landing Lakeport office will remain open until later in the year, and will likely be folded into the Country Air Lakeport branch at 901 S. Main St., Smoley said.
“The Clearlake Oaks office will become the Keys Landing branch of CPS Country Air Properties,” said Smoley. “The conversion to our systems will start right away and take about four months to fully implement.”
CPS Country Air Properties, established in 1981, has 68 agents working from seven branches in Lakeport, Kelseyville, Cobb, Middletown, Lucerne, Clearlake and now Clearlake Oaks. This year, nearly one out of every five real estate transactions reported to the Lake County Multiple Listing Service involves CPS Country Air Properties.
