About BATV
Billerica Access Television, Inc.’s community volunteers, along with a governing body and professional staff are dedicated to preserving and advancing provisions that encourage and promote the expression of free flowing ideas and speech. To that end, we believe more communication is better than less and encourage users to express themselves utilizing BATV’s resources and training programs thru the medium of television and the world wide web. Referred to as Billerica’s First Amendment Forum, electronic soapbox and clearing house of information, BATV was incorporated in 1987. The membership based non-profit, non-commercial Public, Educational and Government (PEG) access television corporation and educational / technical / media center is located at 430 Boston Road in Billerica.
BATV’s membership is comprised of volunteers of all ages and includes Billerica residents, businesses and community organizations. Studios, field and post production equipment and training for BATV’s resources ranging from the basics of video production to advanced concepts that include technological interfaces of cable, TV, and web platforms are available to users. Fun and efficient classes for equipment use and production concepts are regularly offered to meet the needs and demanding schedules of pending and / or current members.
As a forum for free expression, residents and / or individuals with BATV membership status present and / or produce all programming cablecast on the access channels. Programming includes topics that are of interest and importance to the community and may be viewed on Comcast channels 8 (Public), 22 (Educational) and 99 (Government) and on Verizon channels 31 (Public), 24 (Educational) and 26 (Government) in Billerica or on the world wide web utilizing BATV’s Video on Demand service.
