The CTAMessenger is looking for articles, ideas and stories for the Summer edition to be published in mid-July.

Please let us know what is going on at your station – new resources, upgrades, exciting programming and outstanding work.

We’ll write the articles – unless you want to – we just need the information and contacts to get the ball rolling.

Help us keep the Maine access centers connected by sharing you stories with others. Please send all materials directly to me at bknoblock@maine.rr.com.

Thanks,
Brian Knoblock, Editor

 

Abigail Curtis, staff writer for BDN, has written an interesting and informative article about Bob Nichols and his vision behind creating the PegMedia.Com website for sharing locally produced video. You may read the complete article at http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/108259.html

 

 

Welcome to the first edition of the CTAMessenger, the newly revived newsletter for the Community Television Association of Maine. We hope that the MESSENGER will bring you up to date on happenings within the PEG community here in Maine and also to alert you to events and issues from elsewhere that may have an impact on your station’s operation. The MESSENGER will be published quarterly. We will distribute it to the CTAM mailing list and it
will also be available on the website.

The MESSENGER is very much a work in progress and we hope it will grow into a collaborative effort for CTAM members. If you have a suggestion for an article – or would like to write one – all submissions will be gratefully accepted.

Let us know about awards you’ve won or exciting improvements at your station. Access community kudos are generally few and far between so we welcome the chance to publicize your accomplishments to your peers.

I welcome your feedback, suggestions and input. You can reach me at newsletter@ctamaine.org.

On the Resources page of this website you will find two new sections: Access Center Policy Manuals and Franchise Agreements. If you would like to share either your center's policy manual or your community's franchise agreement, please e-mail them to webmaster@ctamaine.org for posting in the appropriate section.  Other materials for the CTAM Resources library would also be appreciated. 

Until your webmaster is able to create an interactive database of programs produced by Maine access centers and independant producers, please post a listing of programs that you would like to offer to other access centers and suggestions/requests for programming you would like to receive in a newly created section of our CTAM Forums.
