The New World of Government Programming in 2025

Chris Williams, Video Production Administrator
James City County Video Services Division

A look into the daily functions and top issues on the minds of government programmers, with examples from James City County, Virginia, as well as other localities within the Commonwealth and nationally. Despite changing times and technology, many aspects of government video have remained the same over the last decade. We will discuss these holdovers from a bygone era and how they continue to come up in roundtables and “therapy sessions” among videographers.

Chris oversees the Video Services Division of James City County, where he serves as Video Production Administrator. His four-person crew handles A/V broadcast, production and maintenance for the entire County, plus some work for the neighboring City of Williamsburg and local school district. He is a member of VATOA and is the current President-Elect of NATOA.
