The Community Bulletin Board is maintained in a slideshow format on pbACT-20 to announce upcoming programs on pbACT-20 and pbGOV-3, non-commercial messages and other items which may be of interest to cable subscribers in the ten-town viewing area. Any person or entity in any Pemi-Baker area community may request cablecast of a non-commercial message, provided the message and request are submitted in writing, via email or via this website [1] at least two weeks in advance. The Executive Director may allow a shorter lead time for a request if message scheduling and other circumstances permit.
Messages and announcements are scheduled and removed by the pbCAM Executive Director. Although every effort is made to assure that the information cablecast on the Community Bulletin Board is accurate and current, pbCAM assumes no responsibility for errors in message content or in message scheduling.
Notices are created by our crew of volunteers. People submitting notices who have and can use PowerPoint are encouraged to create their own slides for the Community Bulletin Board. Contact us [2] and we would be glad to train you how to make a slide that will look good on the television screen.
Guidelines for Creating Your Own Slides:
- All text should be at least 24-point in size and bold.
- Sans serif fonts (Arial, Helvetica) generally work better than serif fonts (Times New Roman). Most script fonts do not work well.
- Avoid intense colors like pure red, pure blue, pure yellow and bright oranges and pinks.
- Make sure slides include the what, when, where and who to contact for more information.
- Less is more. Try to summarize and condense information so you don't overwhelm your audience.
Audio on the Bulletin Board
Every week starting at 10:00 a.m. on Mondays and ending at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesdays, pbCAM will be showcasing music from local artists on pbACT-20 during times when the bulletin board is cablecasting. Click here [3] to learn more.
As an additional service to our viewers, pbACT-20 runs NH Public Radio [4] (97.3 FM) as background audio for our Community Bulletin Board by kind permission of the NHPR staff.
