Pursuant to the franchise agreement, State Cable established Channel 36 as a community channel for Plymouth government, schools, residents, businesses and organizations to cablecast pre-recorded and live non-commercial programming of local interest over the cable television system.

Plymouth Community Channel was moved from channel 36 to channel 3 in September of 1993. Because of this, the name of the channel operation and committee were changed from PCC36 to PCC3. PCC3 began cablecasting the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce's Annual TV/Radio Auction, their major fundraising event, in 1994. In 1996 the Plymouth State College (now Plymouth State University) Meteorology students began taping and submitting regular weekday evening weather forecasts.

Year 2000 marked the 10th year of the channel's operations and was the last year covered by the cable franchise that brought PCC3 into existence. A committee from Ashland and Plymouth appointed by the two boards of selectmen began drafting a new franchise to be adopted by the respective towns and Adelphia. This new agreement had not been signed by the end of 2001 although the town of Holderness had joined the process. This new agreement was eventually signed in 2002.

The Plymouth Board of Selectmen were able to raise and appropriate $1730 in 2002 for the purpose of purchasing a new video camcorder for PCC3. This camera is still in use for taping of town meetings and loaning to Public Access Users. 2002 also marked the forming of a strategic planning committee that assessed the future goals of PCC3 and drafted an appropriate plan. This plan reviewed the need for funding and a staff director among other needs. 2003 brought about the realization of funding in PCC3's first ever operating budget funded by a 2% franchise fee voted into action by and assessed on the cable bills of the residents of Plymouth.

2003 also brought the long-needed replacement of the antiquated bulletin board system. The bulletin board now runs on a more modern PC with Microsoft PowerPoint instead of the legend Amiga 500 system that made it difficult for volunteers to update notices. PowerPoint has made it easier for volunteers to get involved and create notices for the channel, also allowing for people to volunteer from home or school.

On October 13, 2004, the Plymouth Board of Selectmen appointed Jamie Cadorette to the part-time position of Executive Director of PCC3. The Board of Selectmen also appointed a seven-person Advisory Board chaired by Joanne Koermer to oversee operations. The Executive Director and Advisory Board are now charged with continuing the current operations and developing more plans for the future of PCC3, including new equipment and facilities that will make public access television more accessible to members of all ten communities that view PCC3.

On September 12, 2005, PCC3 became the new home of the government access channel cablecasting from Town Hall in Plymouth. With this new government access channel came the ability to cablecast live from Town Hall (now used by the Selectboard, Planning Board and Zoning Board) and to cablecast Plymouth parades live, as well. Cablecasts from Pease Public Library moved to PCC20, serving as the new home for all public and educational access programming.

PCC3 began cablecasting Plymouth parades live with the Veterans' Day parade on November 11, 2005. PCC3/20 also experienced their first ever simultaneous production of two live programs on November 17, 2005, with the Planning Board meeting on PCC3 and the second night of the 12th Annual TV-Radio-Internet Auction on PCC20.

With all the progress, the Executive Director and Advisory Board recognized the need for a new identity that recognized the growth of and regional participation in the local community access channels. After months of discussion the Advisory Board recommended a set of names and acronyms for use as the new identity for the local community access channels.

On April 17, 2006, the Plymouth Selectboard officially approved the name Pemi-Baker Community Access Media (pbCAM) as the overall organizational identity, Pemi-Baker Government Access Television (pbGOV) as the identity for channel 3 and Pemi-Baker Public and Educational Access Television (pbACT) as the identity for channel 20. The Advisory Board became the pbCAM Advisory Board.

This information has been compiled from various Annual Reports and the pbCAM Manual of Policies and Procedures.
