Plymouth Community Channels Change Their Names

Over the past year and a half our local community channels have experienced tremendous growth.  Now they’re shaping their new identity to reflect this.

As of Monday, April 17, 2006, the Plymouth Selectboard approved the name change of Plymouth Community Channels 3 and 20 to Pemi-Baker Community Access Media (pbCAM).

According to Executive Director Jamie Cadorette, “The reason for the name change is two-fold.  First we wanted to identify the regional nature of our community media and to put out the welcome mat to surrounding towns in the viewing area to become involved in what we feel is a shared resource.

Secondly, we named each individual channel to clear up confusion about where to find certain programming.”

Pemi-Baker Government Access Television (pbGOV-3) is the government access channel for the ten-town viewing area.  It provides live and taped cablecast of local government meetings, as well as live Plymouth parades and a bulletin board for government notices and announcements.

Pemi-Baker Public and Educational Access Television (pbACT-20) is the public and educational access channel for the ten-town viewing area.  Channel 20 resources are available for local residents and schools to produce their own programming with some assistance from pbCAM staff and volunteers.
