East Bridgewater Community Television (EBCTV) is a non-profit corporation set up to oversee Public, educational, and government access (PEG) cable tv channels in the town of East Bridgewater, Massachusetts. EBCTV operates three public access channels on Comcast -- government access on channel 6, general public access on channel 9, and educational access on channel 98.

Services

EBCTV provides community members and groups with:

  • Training and technical assistance in the uses of cable TV production and equipment
  • Access to production resources
  • Time on the appropriate EBCTV channel
  • Anyone may request airtime for the presentation of a pre-recorded non-commercial television program.

    EBCTV also televises an electronic community bulletin board (CBB) when no television programming is presented, and public service announcements between programs.

    Financing and organization

    East Bridgewater Community Television is governed by a board of directors. EBCTV receives funding generated by a small percentage of Comcast subscriber revenue, but must rely on donations from local residents and businesses to fund its operation.
