Donations help us continue to provide community television to the towns of Springfield, Chester and Weathersfield, Vermont. We are a non-profit organization, that does extensive event coverage, as well as creating community events to enrich our service area - bringing people together.

Membership

  • Membership is open to all year-round residents of Springfield, Chester and Weathersfield, Vermont. This area will be considered the SAPA TV corporate boundaries. Residents of these three communities will be offered membership at no cost.

  • Membership is open to any non-profit organization located within the SAPA TV corporate boundaries. Membership is also open to any employees of the non-profit organization operating within these boundaries.

  • Membership is open to residents of certain communities outside of SAPA TV corporate boundaries, not served by another PEG Access station, under special circumstances. Due to the fact that SAPA TV receives no funding from these communities, users will be required to pay a twenty-five dollar yearly membership fee or maintain a monthly average of two hours of volunteer time. There is no fee required to place public service announcements on the community bulletin board.

Underwriting

Underwriting credits acknowledge organizations that help fund public access programming. Programs appearing on SAPA TV are permitted to garner underwriting support to assist the production of their program, so long as they adhere to the criteria in this policy to ensure the non­commercial format of this support.  An independent producer is defined as an individual who provides his/her production equipment and does not use SAPA TV’s equipment. In cases where SAPA TV equipment is used for production, the producer cannot solicit underwriting support.  SAPA TV reserves the right to underwrite programming produced with SAPA TV equipment and any revenue will be paid directly to SAPA TV.

Videographers and Volunteers

Paid and Volunteer Videographers are sent out to record meetings and events when we are unable to, on our behalf. If this is something you’re interested in, read this handbook and then reach out to us with the form below.


Event Volunteers help us put together events like “Rollin on the River” which requires set up and take down - something that’s a lot easier with more hands! If you are interested in a specific event, please specify and we’d love to have you. Some events count as community service, so if you are a high school student in need of hours this is a great opportunity to help out and check that off your list.
