So you want someone to videotape your community event and put it on TV? As we already explained, CCTV is a 'do it yourself' kind of place and we provide you with training and free equipment for that purpose. Under very specific circumstances, we can make trained crew members available to work with community organizations to provide production support for special events. The following rules apply to organizations requesting these services:

• The organization holding the event must be or become a member of CCTV before the event takes place.
• Members must submit an Event of the Week request form, with a $35 fee, at least two weeks in advance of the event.
• CCTV expects that the requesting organization will make every effort possible to publicize the rebroadcast of the finished program. If there is no publicity done, then there was no point in spending the hours to get the program on the air!
• We ask that the requesting organization announce at the event that Cambridge Community Television is recording the day's event. This helps drive viewers to out channels to watch your program again and is a way to recognize CCTV for providing this low cost service to the community.
• Production crew are recruited from our internal training program. While our intent is to produce professional programming of community events, and we do our best to arrange for the most skilled individuals to do the production work, we cannot guarantee 100% results.
• CCTV will send a single camera and operator for a maximum of 4 hours of production time, including setup/breakdown. Additional time will will incur extra costs.
• CCTV will do simple postproduction to clean up footage and add head/tail credits, not to exceed 5 hours. Additional time will incur extra costs.
• One copy of the finished program will be available for pickup within reasonable time. Additional copies can be made at extra cost.
• CCTV with retain co-ownership of all materials and will reserve the right to run programming on our channels at any time. Your organization also has the right to use the finished program for any purpose (except commercial sale.)
• If you would like your event recorded, but specifically NOT cablecast, please refer to the Rental section for professional rates.
