Easy Access Programs
8 Easy Access and 5 Bandwidth TV shoots were produced in CCTV’s studio in 2006. Easy Access provides an opportunity for Individual and Organizational Access Members to bring their production ideas to fruition in CCTV's Studio. Members may take advantage of Easy Access even if they lack the technical knowledge to produce a television shoot, as CCTV provides crew and editing services to allow for the completion of each production.

2006 Easy Access shoots covered a wide range of topics, from fashion and sports to media’s status in a digital age. For one shoot, a touring troupe of young adults with Prader Willi Syndrome traveled all the way from Cape Cod to perform song and dance numbers. The Latham Players were ecstatic about being able to show off their talent in front of the cameras.

BandwidthTV
Bandwidth is CCTV’s local music project. Local, unsigned bands agree to submit their music to be included in Bandwidth’s library. The music in this library is available for member video producers to use in their productions without having to worry about infringing upon copyrights.

Bandwidth is the umbrella of Bandwidth TV. Select local bands from many genres are invited to perform and be interviewed in CCTV’s Studio. In 2006, the genres ranged from Electropop to Hip Hop to Garage Rock to Roots music of the African Diaspora—a successful year indeed! This year's artists were JT & the Dirty Truth, Tunnel of Love, Cassette, Sarah Brindell, Zili Misik
