Plan on hiking/standing for approximately two hours. Hiking boots are recommended. Bring binoculars, cameras and more importantly, bring a sense of humor. Ticks may be present in some areas so adequate protection is required. To participate, contact [email protected].

Community media is all about giving local people a voice. From government meeting coverage and local stories to media education and community connection.

That’s why this article really resonated with us at Billerica Access Television. It’s a fun reminder of the creativity and community connection that public access makes possible. Oh, and how cool is that to see Stephen Colbert guest-host a community media TV show!?

At the same time, community media centers are facing very real funding challenges nationwide. Congress is currently considering HR 2289, legislation that could eliminate the franchise fees that help fund local public access stations like BATV. Combined with the continued decline in cable subscribers, the future of local, non-commercial community media is increasingly uncertain. Thankfully, organizations like MassAccess and the Alliance for Community Media are actively advocating to protect these vital community resources.
Check out the article and the special episode of "Only in Monroe" on Monroe Community Media.

A day after the comedian hosted the final episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on CBS, he hosted “Only in Monroe,” a community-access program in Monroe, Mich.

🔥 FINAL EVENT UPDATE @4:50pm: 🔥

There will be a Pizza Party in the WEST CLUB ROOM - see you there!!

Edit: game is still on! We will be doing an update on dinner, but please come, use your tickets and we’ll see you at the game!!!

We have just received word that there has been a fire in the kitchen of the Tsongas arena. We are still waiting for an update on whether or not the game tonight will be canceled, but we do have confirmation that our catering order has been canceled.

In the event that the game goes on as scheduled, we will have pizzas and snacks available for our members/guests. We did want to give a heads up that the “fancy sitdown dinner” we had anticipated will now be shifted into a pizza party. In the event that the game is canceled, we will update on our socials and website as more information becomes available.
