Northborough Cable Access Television

Window on your community. Your town. Your voice.

The Cable Access Television Department runs the three community television stations for the Town of Northborough. The Public Access Channel (Charter 11/Verizon 31) played over 157 Northborough produced television shows created by Northborough residents during 2011 as well as over 400 shows from communities around the nation. These shows provided informational, educational, and entertaining viewing for residents. The Government Channel (Charter 12/Verizon 30) played over 28 different shows including Selectmen, Town Meeting, and other Municipal meetings and shows. The Educational Channel (Charter 13/Verizon 29) played over 110 locally produced shows related to Northborough K-12 schools, including School Committee meetings, sports and student productions.

Overall, nearly 3,800 hours of community related shows were cablecast to Northborough residents. This doesn't include the number of Video on Demand shows that viewers were able to watch on the Internet through the Town of Northborough's website.

Complete training for any Northborough resident who would like to produce their own television show is offered throughout the year by contacting the Cable Director. Training on the use of equipment in the professional television production studio with HD cameras, green screen and teleprompters, portable equipment and digital editing, are all available free of charge.

Northborough Cable Access Television studio and office is located at Algonquin Regional High School.
