Once again, Town Meeting members face the difficult task of deciding what priorities are met as funding gets tighter.

For twenty years FCTV has brought the citizens of

Falmouth LIVE gavel-to-gavel coverage of Town Meeting. This

coverage allows you and our neighbors throughout Falmouth to

watch the democratic process LIVE and unedited from the comfort

of your home. As you count on us, we count on you to support our

coverage through underwriting sponsorship.

Your Support: We cannot provide this service without your support!

In exchange, FCTV will produce a promotional underwriting spot for you. All underwriting spots are cablecast multiple times each night of Town Meeting LIVE, and then three times a day, seven days a week for six months on Channel 15.

Let the community know that you support Falmouth Community Television coverage of Town Meeting LIVE.

T he GY-HM150U is JVC’s latest and most advanced compact handheld camcorder. Based on the solid ergonomic design of the highly popular GY-

HM100--currently in use by thousands of photojournalists at major television stations and networks around the world - and now they’re coming to FCTV. These cameras will allow FCTV members to produce excellent standard and high definition recordings. Intuitive manual controls include an iris dial next to the lens for convenience, and several other dials and buttons that mean less dependence on menus and more control where you need it most. Perhaps one of the most important new aspects is that the GY-HM150U records directly to Quicktime format on two SD/HC memory cards! This means no more long hours of capturing your footage, and you can record up to six hours, depending on your record settings. (SD/HC memory cards can be pre-ordered from FCTV. Please allow 7-10 days for delivery. Cost will be based on most current pricing. If purchasing your own SD cards please consult with FCTV production staff for requirements.) These cameras will greatly speed up your workflow because your footage will be instantly ready for Final Cut Pro!
