No. We are not a media company. We can give you tools to cover your own event.
Since July 2018, we distribute videos only. We do not maintain a community bulletin board. If your organization follows us on social media we will follow you and help get the word out that way. We do not have enough foot traffic for flyers to be posted in the building. We can help you make a 15-seconds, or more video, that can be shared on TV.
Town events are covered by your tax-funded channel, WGTV, if event coverage has been approved by the Mayor. Information about WGTV’s schedule is on the town’s website
We are not a member organization. We do welcome grassroots contributions. Here is a 1-minute video story about getting involved.
