BCATv is making selected videos available for free viewing on the internet via Google Video.  This is a great way to catch up on Masco Sports and other BCATv shows when you are away from home. 

Be sure to pass his link off to you out of town friends and relatives! 

Click on the read more link below to see a list of available shows. Masco Winter Sports have been added 1/14/08.

If you own a camcorder, then you have the minimum amount of equipment needed to produce your own videos!

What else is needed?

An idea, or a hobby, or a passion, or interesting friends, or almost anything else you can imagine would be great subjects for an interesting video that you would be proud to share with your Boxford friends and neighbors.

All of our BCATv producers started with a camcorder, an idea, and a little patience. 

Most importantly, your neighbors and friends at BCATv are here to help you produce a video you will be proud to show on Boxford Channel 10!

If you already have a video you would like us to broadcast, please register as a volunteer and use the Community Feedback form under the Forms link to let us know what you have.  We will contact you with specific information on where to drop off the DVD, or tape and pick it up after broadcast.

If you have an idea, or would just like to talk with one of our members on how to proceed, then please feel free to register and use the Community Feedback form under the Forms link.  One of us will call you back and offer whatever assistance we can.

Thanks!

Brad Sweet, BCATv

BCATv is pleased to welcome VERIZON FIOS TV subscribers to Boxford Public Access and Government programming!

Effective 1/17/07, BCATv Public Access programming, currently broadcast on COMCAST Channel 10, will also be broadcast on VERIZON Channel 45. 

Government programming, currently broadcast on COMCAST Channell 22, will also be broadcast on VERIZON Channel 39.

The Boxford Cable Committee worked long and hard to bring a second video provider to Boxford.  After nearly 30 meetings and negotiating sessions a franchise agreement was signed with Verizon on September 19, 2006. 

Unfortunately, reserving Channels 10 and 22 for BCATv was not a negotiable line item for Verizon. 

In order to minimize confusion, BCATv will use the "Ch 10/45" and "Ch 22/39" designations for Boxford Public Access (Ch 10/45) and Boxford Government (Ch 22/39) channels respectively.

Starting December 19, 2005 postings to the Boxford Community Bulletin Board can be done via this website for your convenience!  (Postings will no longer be accepted by COMCAST.)

You will need to register, using the Register link under the Search box in the upper right, in order to access the CBB Non-Profit Posting Form.  As a registered user, you will have access to the Forms menu, plus additional content.

There is no cost for non-profit postings.

Boxford Cable Access Television (BCATv) and COMCAST are pleased to announce the addition of a second Public, Educational and Government (PEG) channel in Boxford.  Channel 22 will debut on September 1, 2006 and will be used primarily for live and taped broadcasts of Boxford government meetings and community bulletin board announcements. 

The addition of Channel 22 will allow more frequent replays of government meetings during the day throughout the week.  Currently, these meeting replays on Channel 10 are limited to the hours before 10 am and after midnight. The timing is very beneficial as well, because the frequency of meetings always increases dramatically in September as our town boards prepare for the Special Town Meeting in October and begin the fiscal 2007 budget process starting in November.

Copies of most broadcasts on BCATv are available for a nominal copying fee between $7 and $10, depending on volume.

Most recently, there has been a lot of requests for copies of the "Boxford Flooding" program, which are available for for $7 per copy due to overwhelming demand. 

Please email BradS@BoxfordCableTv.com for info on obtaining copies of any programs you saw on BCATv.

You don't have to be watching TV in order to view the Channel 10 Community Bulletin Board - you can view it over the internet! 

You can even view the TV Schedule pages over the internet.

Try it out now by clicking on the Ch 10 Bulletin Board link in the Links area on the left side of this page.

Starting 12/19/2005, the drop-off point for submitting all BCATv broadcast material will be Boxford Town Hall, which is located at 7A Spofford Rd in Boxford.  Hours are 8:30 am - 4:30 pm, Monday to Thursday. 

For added convenience, we will continue to use the "white plastic box" on the ledge of the left bay window inside Wayne's Community Store on Elm Street, across from the East Village Library.

The preferred media is now DVD.  Hi-8 and Super-VHS tapes will continue to be accepted, but broadcast may be delayed, because tape resources are very limited.
