Bulletin Board

The digital bulletin board runs on NCTV's channels in between shows and is much cooler than commercials. Notices can be a static image or a video. Send info or existing flyer to Andrew!

Flyer

Stop by with a physical flyer and we’ll gladly hang it up in our community window. 


NCTV has great visibility at 158 Main St to anyone who is walking by, waiting for the train, or otherwise visiting our awesome neighbors. In fact, we see people stop and read the flyers every day!  


If we aren't here to accept your flyer, feel free to drop it in our mail slot to the right of our doors (one perk of this space's previous life as a video store!).

Public Service Announcement (PSA)

Schedule a time to come in and record a short 30 second - 2 minute PSA to get the word out about your club/organization/event! The video will be played between shows on the channels and be uploaded to YouTube for easy sharing wherever you’d like!  


To see some examples of what other nonprofits have created for PSAs, check out our YouTube playlist!

One-Time or Series Show

As an organization that relies on our community for video content, we have a number of proud local producers who might be interested in interviewing a member of your nonprofit about the organization or upcoming event.  


If you'd rather create your own show, we're happy to facilitate that as well! Shows usually fall into the under 30 min or under 60 min category and can be a one-time show or a series (bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly - your choice).

An Internship for Every Season

NCTV offers internships for the Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer semesters.


Internships are usually 10-20 hours per week, but our staff is flexible to accommodate your needs. As of now, all internships are unpaid.

Internship Programs

Production Internship: Interns will assist with the production needs of NCTV, with an opportunity to create their own original productions as well. Interns will learn skills to produce content in the field, and in the studio - including public service announcements, local event coverage, talk shows, and more. You'll have access to the full Adobe Suite of programs and we are happy to train you on Adobe Premiere and Adobe Photoshop at minimum. Beyond video production skills, interns will have the opportunity to learn about editing and the post production process.


Marketing Internship: As a marketing intern at NCTV, you will be planning and promoting events for the organization, creating social media posts, and finding ways to connect with the public. Learning about fundraising and seeking alternate sources of revenue as a nonprofit community media station will be the main focus.


Video Archive Internship: Interns will assist with the transfer of various media including VHS, DVD, Hi-8, Mini-DV, and more. The purpose of transferring this media is to create a digital version of the NCTV archival materials. Along with watching the transfer to ensure it has digitized accurately, an intern is expected to take notes, describe the video, title it, add tags, and organize it for uploading to our YouTube channel. Some interest in research is beneficial, as certain archival media may not have labels or dates, and being savvy enough to find this information is helpful.
