Don't forget, BATV will be at the Billerica Recreation Summer Kick-Off from 12-4 today. We'll be offering demos of some of our VR gear, so if you missed out on checking out VR at our Open Tech Night last month, this is a great opportunity to come see what VR is all about and enjoy the other activities that are happening at the event. We will also be covering the Shawsheen River Watershed Association Plenair Art event at the Vale Reservation in Andover today from 10-1. The event is open to artists and artists at heart. Meet at the Ballardvale Commuter Parking Lot (195 Andover Street, Andover, MA) at 10 am if you would like to walk the "gallery of trees" to see artwork by Sharon Lapham and Sue Millman. More info at https://shawsheenriver.net/events/plein-air-art-on-saturday-july-20-2019-1000-100-vale-reservation-andover/. Due to the number of staff that will be covering these events, BATV will be closed today and will re-open on Monday at 10 am.   Typically, BATV closes for a whole week during the summer so we can do routine
maintenance around the building. This year we will not be closing for the entire week. Please note that BATV will be open from 10-5 on Monday and Tuesday next week, but we will be closed to the public the rest of the week. We will resume regular hours on Monday, August 5.  If it's been a while since you've stopped by BATV or if you have never been to BATV and are curious about some of the equipment that we have available, this is the event for you! We've got a lot of really cool new pieces of gear to help you really add that extra something to your production.
Technology that we'll be demoing: - Our podcasting setup - Our Virtual Reality (VR) setup - Our Rhino Gear video slider - Our new Sling Studio which allows users to create simple or very complex field productions on the fly This event is free and open to Billerica residents, however in order to use BATV's gear for your own productions, you will first be required to sign up for a BATV membership and take a certification course on the gear that you wish to use. This tech night is a great opportunity to see some of the new gear BATV has to offer and learn about how it works. Please feel free to bring friends. We hope to see you there!  The Town of Billerica will be hosting an ascertainment hearing on
Tuesday, May 21, 2019 at 7:30 pm in the Conway Room at Town Hall to gather valuable information needed to renew the Town’s cable license with Comcast. Please attend this important hearing and express in a few words why BATV is important to you & the community Without public support at this hearing, BATV will not receive the funding it needs to continue providing the services you’ve come to expect. It’s as simple as stating “the programming on the access channels provides pertinent information for the citizens of Billerica”, “my child learned so much from BATV’s youth programs”, “BATV helps provide awareness for our non-profit organization”, or similar. BATV’s existence is dependent upon this hearing and the cable license The cable license, among other items, defines the cable system design for the Town of Billerica, maintenance & operations, services & programming, subscriber rights, consumer protection, performance tests and much more. But more importantly, it defines Public, Education and Government access facilities and support (for BATV). To be successful in this process, your support is necessary |
