BRATTLEBORO — The annual meeting of Brattleboro Community Television (BCTV) is Thursday, Oct. 8, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the BCTV studio on the third floor of the Brattleboro Municipal Center.
The annual meeting recognizes top producers and programs and features a short video montage of clips of the year's local programming.
In August, BCTV took home two national Hometown Media Awards from the Alliance for Community Media. This is the third time that the annual video montage has won in the category About Access and Empowerment.
The other winning video was in the Government Profile category and chronicled the Brattleboro Department of Public Works' valiant effort to replace the Whetstone Sewer Interceptor after it was destroyed during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011.
BCTV executive director Cor Trowbridge will report on the State of the Station, including highlights of the extensive outreach campaign conducted this spring in preparation for contract renewal with Comcast.
The awards to be presented will be: Sponsor of the Year, Community Partner of the Year, Municipal Partner of the Year, Nonprofit Member of the Year, New Producer of the Year, Series of the Year, Producer of the Year, and Lifetime Achievement Award.
Photos and interviews of awardees will be conducted on the “red carpet.” Attendees are encouraged to dress up if they are so inclined. Hazel restaurant will provide dinner.
Directors Martin Langeveld and Chris Lenois are up for re-election to the board.
