Get a Contract, Make a Program
What Cambridge Community Television does best is help people make their own stuff. We do this by providing members with access to our equipment and facilities at little or no cost to them.
The key piece of community production at CCTV is this Production Contract. This is an agreement between you and us that clearly states you get to use our cameras, lights, mics, editors, and live studio facilities, but only with the understanding that anything you produce must be cablecast on CCTV's channels.
Members are allowed to use equipment and facilities free of charge for a limited period of time, as long as certain expectations are met. If any of these expectations are not met or if the program is never completed, CCTV will bill you for your equipment use to date.
- Contracts are only issued to members in good standing who have been trained in the the equipment they are requesting for use.
- Copies of productions made with CCTV gear must be broadcast on our channels.
- There can be no form of payment, funding, for the producer of the program from any source.
- Sole ownership of the program must be held by the producer.
If for any reason you believe you may run out of free uses before your program is completed, or if you need to extend your deadline, please call CCTV and we can make special arrangements.
