Our volunteers are
      essential to the station. Indeed,
      what good would a public access
      station be if the public doesn't access it?!

      
As MCTV has grown, we have worked
      hard to make the station more
      accessible to anyone who wants to become involved. The programs
      noted on this page are all intended to help you become a part
      of the station.

      
MCTV volunteers come from all
      walks of life. They are your friends and neighbors. They have
      a wide variety of interests and talents.

      
     Some
      of the things that they do for the station are:


      

        
assist
        with special event coverage
        
camera work at Avalon
        concerts
        
voice-over announcements
        
offer technical assistance
        
videotape lecture series
        
appear on-camera

      both Camera and Editing training are eligible to learn the finer
      points of studio production. You will act as Assistant Producer

New Volunteer Opportunity at MCTV


      
We’re looking for people willing to form small
      volunteer teams to take MCTV to local events.

      Although each team would require at least one trained camera
      operator, there is ample opportunity for non-technical help as
      well.

      Each team will man an MCTV booth, set up as a field studio where
      people can participate by going on-camera to give their answer
      to the “Question of the Day”-which will relate to the
      event. These taped segments will be used as short programs called
      “MCTV Was There” to air the week following the event.


      
Each team of 2 or 3 volunteers will include:

      1. a lead techie

      2. a floor manager

      3. an assistant techie

      
All 2/3 must be willing & able to talk enthusiastically
      about MCTV with the aid of visuals and handouts provided by the
      station.


      
If you are interested, let us know so we can begin
      training and booking teams for upcoming events!
