Let’s Go To The 06880 Video!

For 15 years, “06880” has been where Westport meets the world.

We’ve done it mostly through the written word.

A couple of years ago we added a podcast, thanks to the Westport Library’s great Verso Studios.

Occasionally, we’ve included  student-produced “06880 on the Go” video.

Now we’re upping our Instagram game.

Big-time.

Longtime Westporter Dave Briggs — a nationally known broadcaster (CNN, NBC Sports, Fox News and Turner Sports), with a passion for local merchants, restaurants and organizations — heads up the project.

He’s an Instagram pro.

The goal is to help local businesses tell their stories. Each week he’ll interview a different retail store, restaurant, home builder, fitness establishment, etc.

Dave’s very informative and entertaining Instagram reels, stories and IG Live interviews will live on our “06880” Instagram feed (“06880danwoog”), this blog (via the “Video” tab) and the app, and be posted on Briggs’ feed (“DaveBriggsTV”). He’ll follow up daily with stories about that week’s feature.

As with all things “06880,” this is a community effort. So we want you to choose the name.

Which do you prefer: “Vide06880” or “0688Vide0“? Click “Comments” below — or vote in the Instagram poll.

We kick off our new feature with JL Rocks. Dave chatted with owner Jamie Camche about her Mother’s Day offerings. (It’s this Sunday, in case you forgot!)
