ABOUT LCATV

In the fall of 1993, interested citizens incorporated Lake Champlain
Access Television to serve as the organization charged with the
operation and administration of Public/Educational/Governmental
Access television on the Lake Champlain Cable System. LCATV
Channel 2 began broadcasting from a small studio in Colchester High
School on February 18, 1994.

In November, 1996, LCATV moved to its current home on 354 Prim Road
in Colchester and in November, 2000, Channel 2 became Channel 15 as
the result of a cable system upgrade. Early 2001 saw LCATV's
expansion into two separate cable channels: Channel 15 for public
access, and Channel 16 for government and education access.

Today, LCATV serves about 6,500 Comcast Cable subscribers in
Colchester, Milton and Georgia with television programming 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week on both of its channels.

The LCATV staff generates a wide variety of local interest programming,
including gavel to gavel coverage of select board and school board
meetings, weekly live call-in shows featuring town officials, legislators
and community members, election coverage, educational shows and
special events.

LCATV is administrated by a volunteer Board of Directors and daily operations
are overseen by the LCATV Staff. Aiding them are the community volunteers
who donate their time and effort. The corporation's membership consists of
anyone who lives, works or attends school in Colchester, Milton and Georgia
and LCATV is funded with cable television subscriber fees.
