Community Television in Plymouth Becomes More Accessible

On March 14, 2007, at Town Meeting, the residents of Plymouth voted in favor of an amendment to increase funding for pbCAM. As a result, a lot of changes are happening right now to make community access television more available to the community at large.

The pbCAM office, located in the lower level of Pease Public Library, is now open every day of the week. The new open office hours are Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Tuesdays from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Thursdays from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Fridays during Production Nights.

Regular Producers’ Meetings are held on Tuesday nights from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in Plymouth Town Hall. Producers’ Meetings offer an opportunity for members of the local community to plan their programs with pbCAM staff and volunteers, as well as reserve a time slot for Production Night.

Production Night is every Friday night from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. in the lower level of Pease Public Library. Equipment, facilities and pbCAM staff and volunteers are available to assist local producers with their programs’ technical needs. All interested producers must attend the Producers’ Meetings to plan production and schedule a time slot. Equipment Reservation Forms are not required to produce your program on Production Night.

In the near future pbCAM will be scheduling free workshops open to the public on a variety of topics from basic camcorder use to multi-camera production with the new mobile equipment donated by the New Hampshire Electric Co-op.

Any non-profits, schools or municipal governments in the viewing area are encouraged to contact pbCAM for more information on how they can participate and to arrange training workshops tailored to their specific needs.
