Get Involved!

 
     If you are a member of some community organization, you have
     probably often heard, "Let's get this on cable." It often comes
     up when a group is planning an event or special activity. You may
     have seen other community events shown on channels 191 or 194 and
     wondered why some events are taped and others are not. Well,
     you're not alone. Some confusion still exists about WHAT, WHY and
     HOW programs are produced and WHO produces them. Programs are
     produced by certified volunteers. All Holden residents have the
     opportunity to be a volunteer and to participate in free training
     workshops. Those individuals may choose to organize the
     production of a specific program or series of programs, or they
     may offer their help to someone who does. Programs can be
     produced on any subject. Volunteers can bring to the residents of
     Holden information on any subject, government meetings,
     entertainment, local history "how-to" programs, school
     activities, local talent, and any other creative project.
     Programs are produced for a variety of reasons. Primarily, it is
     because the producer has a particular interest in the subject and
     wishes to share that interest with the community. Sometimes
     subjects or events are brought to a producer's attention by a
     community group or individual. All certified volunteers may use,
     free of charge, the equipment and facilities provided by and
     Holden Community Television, The Town of Holden, and Charter
     Communications. Programs can be taped simply with a camcorder,
     produced with a multi-camera mobile facility, or recorded in
     HCTV's television studio. Equipment for post-production editing
     is also available.
