WCCA TV is a non-profit charitable organization. Some may have read that WCCA is in the middle of facility renovations. WCCA has always been mission intensive.
I have visited other TV stations and found such centers somewhat sterile. Although they may have "looked" impressive" have nothing close in comparison to WCCA in terms of community programming, classes, community activity, partnerships, youth activity, diversity, cable and online presence, and heart.There is a lot more to it all than one might think. It may look easy to be on TV, but there is lot of work behind even the simplest of shows. Out main focus, again has an will remain to be to
provide the tools, channel, facility, training and to help you, members of our community, if you want to use this resource as a creative communication or outreach tool.
Our priority, in terms of budget, has always been centered upon our ability to carry our main mission and that is to provide access to our channels, pre and post studios, training, and maintaining the best staffing possible to facilitate, teach and encourage community members to participate and make and or present community television in Worcester. I guess it is fair to say WCCA is more mission substance over flash. That is not to say we can do better or that we aren't concerned with our current downtown look. It is where our priority stands that matters most. That said, we do need to address what some may consider some shallow cosmetics.
We are down and dirty a living breathing community center, no posturing , just facilitating community media. We are currently completing updating our edit suites, and main studio control room. We are now moving on to new lighting and cameras and accessories. There is more planned as well. We do not relay on government tax money. Outside of cable franchise provisions, which are made possible through an act of congress to be paid by cable providers if required by a city or town, we rely on fund-raising and donations to meet the needs of this large and prolific community to continue to expand the platform for Worcester residence and students to share in a free flow of news and information or share educational, cultural or ethnic perspectives on cable on on our live stream or , in some case, on demand via our website.
So yes, we need to doll up our lobby, clean the windows more often, we also need to expand our computer lab, which offers free on line access to community, we would love to change the facade of our building too.
If you agree, please consider giving WCCA a hand. Donations are always most welcome checks payable to WCCA TV. We also have an ongoing in-kind contribution wish list as well.
You can donate or sponsor the following please do, it may feel good and it certainly can help us make downtown look better. We have a get way to exchange our gratitude. Talk with for details: Click read more for the list and please note it is ongoing:
