Alliance for Community Media Northeast Region

The Town of West Newbury (TheToWN.tv) has been starting up in earnest since the spring. I'd like to thank everyone who has lent a hand in providing insight and guidance along the way. As a fully volunteer based startup, we have relied heavily on the support of others to help guide us through the process. With our very limited funding, we have been able to assemble what I think will prove to be a relatively advanced and supportable environment. As of right now, our mix of products are:

- Website
- Joomla for general content management

We are excited to be able to start offering local access (PEG) to our community. There is an upswelling of interest in expanding the coverage of important information in our small community. We are looking forward to the new Cable Facilities to help enhance this process.

We have just purchased our broadcast equipment for delivery in 6-8 weeks, and we have selected a number of other items to help support our goals. We plan on implementing.
