Thank you, CCTV Supporters!

February 4, 2010 - 5:29pm — Susan

Thank you to the dozens of supporters who attended the February 3 public hearing and to the 18 people who spoke in support of CCTV in the coming re-licensing negotiations! Thanks also to the almost 400 who signed the on-line petition, the over 50 who signed at CCTV and at the hearing, and the many who have written letters! The public record is open until 5pm, February 10, so there is still time to send comments to the City Manager, Cambridge City Hall, 795 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139. Negotiations between the City of Cambridge and Comcast will now commence, and a new license should be signed by the end of the year. We will keep you posted!

CCTV goes to the MFA for the Human Rights Watch Film Festival

Submitted by Elisa on January 25, 2010 - 6:36pm

CCTV went to the Museum of Fine Arts for the Human Rights Watch Film Festival and facilitated a youth camera training with the students from Beacon Academy. The goal was to use the Museum's collection as a starting point for thinking about human rights. Human rights refer to the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled. The videos represent the student's perspective on rights evoked (or abused) in a specific piece. There was no wrong answer as art has many complex and varied interpretations, but most importantly, the students were able to use the Flip cameras and the skills from the workshop to post their videos directly to the web.

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 - 6:00pm - 9:00pm

The City of Cambridge has scheduled a public hearing on the cable license renewal with Comcast on Wednesday, February 3, 2010 in the Sullivan Chambers at City Hall. This is the LAST opportunity the public (YOU) will have to provide input and advocate for new equipment and continued operating support for CCTV, Cambridge Educational Access and City TV-8. You may come prepared to speak about the importance of public access in Cambridge, or just come to show your support, but please come!
