Boxford Cable Access Television Corporation, Inc (BCATv) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-
profit public charity, which currently operates two local cable television stations accessible
by the residents of Boxford.

We are celebrating our 11th year of service to the cable subscribers of Boxford. Our Board
of Directors consists of 3 unpaid volunteers, two of whom have been on the board since the
incorporation of BCATv in 2006. We recently added a new Board member, Melissa
Scheirey, to replace Scott Dahlgren, who stepped down after nine plus years of serving on
the Board.

Our Government Access station broadcasts 16 hours per day, 7 days per week on
COMCAST Channel 22 and Verizon Channel 39 and features live and taped government
meetings of the numerous volunteer committees and boards that serve the residents of
Boxford.

During the past year we videoed over 260 public meetings that occurred at Boxford Town
Hall and other meeting venues. Often times there can be 5 simultaneous meetings going on
at the same time, but Lance Cluster, our Government Access Coordinator, always manages
to get as many meetings as can be recorded for playback during the week and uploaded to
the web so they can be viewed online 24 hours per day at our website:
www.BoxfordCableTv.com.

Our Public Access station broadcasts 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on COMCAST
Channel 8 and Verizon Channel 45. This past year we broadcast approximately 540 unique
videos varying in length from 30 minutes to 2 hours. including Masco Freshman, JV and
Varsity sporting events, our own multi-camera concerts shot at local venues, lectures, and
other community centric events.

This past year our interns recorded and edited over 325 videos of community interest
programs averaging almost one hour in length. Jonathan Rivers, our Public Access
Coordinator, plays a key role in maintaining event schedules, monitoring and loaning
equipment, videoing in-studio events and keeping our studio at 256 Georgetown Rd
operational.

Our staff of 28 paid interns ranges from students 12 years of age to college age, plus
several residents enjoying retirement. The subject matter they record reflects their personal
interests and varies from multi-camera concerts, to Masco/Youth/Adult sports, to The
