 | | Pew Center funds supported the use of videoconferencing technology that allowed KTCA to originate broadcasts from new and unconventional locations and to connect citizens from far-flung parts of the large, rural state. |
 | | The first broadcast to use the new technology, in January 1999, linked newly elected Gov. Jesse Ventura, in the KTCA studios in St. Paul, with citizens in Bemidji, Mankato, Duluth, Windom and Minneapolis for a discussion of his new tax policies. |
 | | The technology was also used to link citizens from a Minneapolis soul food restaurant, Lucille's Kitchen, with white residents of a depressed farming community for a series of riveting discussions about their similarities and differences. |
