RCTV is a Public, Educational,
and Government (P. E. G.) Access television station. As such, its primary
purpose is as a resource for the expression of FREE SPEECH. The fulfillment
of that primary purpose fosters the secondary purposes which are:
1.
A tool for communication;
2.
A means of entertainment and information;
3.
A means of education of the Townspeople of Raymond; and
4.
To foster the spirit of community.
STRUCTURE
RCTV is run by the Cable
Television Committee of the Town of Raymond under the authority of the
Board of Selectmen which is the Franchising Authority. This authority was
given to the Board of Selectmen by a vote of the Town Meeting. The
committee consists of five regular members, an alternate and one representative
from the Board of Selectmen and one representative from the School Board.
Committee members are appointed by the selectmen for a three-year term.
OPERATION
The Raymond Cable
TV Committee does not produce any programming. However, as private
citizens outside of the scope of their appointed status, these same people have
the same rights as everyone else to use the resource of RCTV to exercise their First
Amendment rights. The Cable TV Committee is a volunteer committee, which
relies on other volunteers for many functions.
