We’ve added many new shows to our Public Access Channels this week. Last week Legal Ease producer Ernie Hyde interviewed two local police officers, both of whom are the leaders for their individual departments on domestic violence. Detective Matthew Furlong from the Westford Police Department and Officer Pablo Fernandez from the Littleton Police Department discuss the elements, outcomes and specific Massachusetts law regarding domestic violence. Both officers have years of experience with domestic violence in their towns and make recommendations to anyone listening to the show, what they should do if they are victims of domestic violence. The program plays on public access channels Comcast 8 and Verizon 35 on Friday at 1:30 p.m., Saturday at 4:30 p.m., and Sunday and Monday at 7 p.m.

Also, in a new episode of From the Hill, State Representative Jim Arciero talks with Peter Lucas, political columnist, on his career as a reporter and author. You can watch this program on public access channels Comcast 8 and Verizon 35 on Friday at 2 p.m., Saturday at 5 p.m., and Sunday and Monday at 7:30 p.m.
