Budget Status Update…Andrew Eliason said there is nothing to report this month.
Mashpee Community TV
Andrew Eliason stated he had the impression the new Director of Mashpee Community TV would also be the new director for the school’s audiovisual group. Joyce Mason said her understanding is that Mashpee Community TV does intend to reach out to the school so that programs would be in sync. Joyce said Mashpee TV would be taking over Town Meeting broadcasts.
IT Updates…Nothing to report this month.
Broadcasting Issues
Andrew Eliason reported that the new Mashpee TV supervisor, Amy Davies, met with Matilda and Maxine and they showed her the Control Room and the functions performed. David DelVecchio said Amy Davies met with him also.
Andrew said several reports that signal coming out of the control room is louder than signals coming from other stations. Andrew said it is not distorted, but just louder.
MCAT Membership
Andrew said maybe it is time to run an ad again recruiting membership. He suggested adding to the Town bulletin board. Joyce Mason said Selectmen Mike Richardson is going to do a weekly comment and will focus on one committee each week. Joyce said perhaps Mike would start with MCAT.
