Field Days 2010 Goes 'Above and Beyond'!
GMATV gathered over 26 hours of footage on July 23, 24, and 25 at the Lamoille County Field Days! We're going to spend a few days recovering from all the excitement of field days, and once that's done we'll begin editing all the amazing video. The footage this year goes 'above and beyond' any that we've collected before- we even got an aerial view of the event via a hellicopter! If there is a segment that you think we taped and you would like to order it, please get in touch with us through our contact us page. We'd like to thank everybody who took the time to stop and talk with us at our booth and read off our teleprompter. Also, thanks to the staff at field days for making the wonderful weekend go off without a hitch. You can expect to start seeing the events and highlights of Lamoille County Field Days 2010 very soon on GMATV and our website. Stay tuned!
What is Public Access Televison?
"Public-access television came about with the rise of cable television in the late '70s and early '80s. In exchange for the rights to lay cable wires on public land, cable companies were required to donate a portion of their revenue to provide facilities and airtime to allow public comment. The idea was to give voice to ordinary citizens who otherwise wouldn't have access to any media outlets. In 1984, the Cable Franchise Policy and Communications Act prohibited cable operators from exercising any editorial control over public-access channels." - PBS.org
Public Access broadcasts non-commercial cable programming created and produced by local individuals, organizations, causes and groups, and by you.
