 Video on Demand

We have expanded our online viewing opportunities to include both real-time cable programming via computer as well as on-demand government meetings from our archive. If you would like to view a past non-meeting program on-demand, just email us.

 

You may also download from our Video on Demand player once you call up an archived program. First, type the name of the board or event you want to see online in the search bar on the page. You can download any of the videos if you just right-click on the player while it is playing back on your screen.

This service is available to all, even if you do not have a Charter/Spectrum cable television account! 

Meanwhile, watch our daily schedule to view past or live municipal meetings on Government Access Channel 192 and other informative and entertaining shows on our Public Access Channel 191 for Charter/Spectrum Cable TV customers.

Creating Local Programming

We broadcast meetings of the Selectmen, town meetings, school activities, Senior Center programs, Hitchcock Academy events, and much more. Volunteers are welcome to get involved, learn how to use the equipment, and produce their own programs. Stipends are available for those who qualify.

Charter/Spectrum License Renewal

In the coming months, the town will be negotiating with Charter to extend its license to serve the town. If you, as a Charter TELEVISION customer, wish to assist and bring your perspectives to the table, we are seeking committee members. The process will begin later this year. Charter serves us as the sole licensee only because no other companies have shown an interest in serving our small town. But the terms under which it serves television customers are negotiable according to state and federal law. While these laws do not give us say over channel lineups or pricing beyond the basic tier, there are service and connection standards we can negotiate. Send an email if you would be interested in helping the town in this way.
