Health Show (which is also viewed worldwide on the internet), and many, many other local
Boxford events, such as parades, elementary school concerts, talent shows, Tri-Town
Council lectures, BAT/BOLT events, etc.

We provide our interns with a web site where they can sign up for video events that are of
interest to them. We also provide dedicated equipment to individuals and teams who want
to

cover multiple events during a season. It is always their choice to sign-up for the video
specific events that they want to cover.

A majority of the videos that BCATv produces are archived and can be watched on our
website as well.

We also aired over 150 religious services donated by local Boxford and Topsfield houses
of worship, plus another 180 videos produced at no charge to BCATv by other cable
stations on various subject matters of interest to our cable subscribers.

One accomplishment we are very proud of is our involvement in the Masco Senior
Internship program, which runs for the 5 weeks following April school vacation. This
Masco program is intended to give Seniors a real world working experience of their
choosing. We were especially honored to have 3 Seniors, Jack O’Brien, Jake Spataro and
Sam Pickell choose BCATv for their Senior Internship in 2015.

Intern Jack O’Brien spent his time researching the Boston music scene and interviewing
various artists in Boston, Cambridge and Somerville for their take on how Boston
influences their artistry. His final project was a video compilation of these interviews and
concerts that he both videoed and edited himself.

Intern Jake Spataro focused on two no-kill animal shelters, Nevin’s Farm in Methuen and
North East Animal Shelter in Salem. He produced several segments of the Mr Dog and Cat
Show, which featured animals available for adoption at these shelters.

Intern Sam Pickell focused on all aspects of video production. He quickly became our
expert in live concert audio recording using our computer based 16 track portable mixer for
recording live concerts. He has also operated a video camera at various sporting and
concert events. In short Sam continues to be our multi-camera video editing expert and go
to person while he attends UMass Lowell as a commuting student.

Early this year BCATv extended our contract with the Town of Topsfield to manage the
Topsfield Cable Access Media (TCAM) station for an additional year. BCATv has been
providing 24/7 programming as well as live coverage of select government meetings. All
additional costs related to this contract were paid for by Topsfield and this year’s contract
was increased to cover additional cost sharing for BCATv produced Masco and concert
events that are broadcast in both towns.
