Dedham Television Careers in Boston, MA

Dedham Visionary Access Corporation (DVAC) was formed to provide a “PEG” (Public, Educational, and Government) channel for the Town of Dedham. A PEG center is a combination school and equipment library where individuals are trained how to use TV production equipment, how to make TV shows, and then are provided the free use of equipment and cable channel time to produce and air their shows. DVAC’s access center is funded by a small cable license fee of the local cable company’s revenues that pay for facility upkeep, utilities, and full-time staff. The staff manages the public resources, trains people in TV production skills, and facilitates the telecast of programs on the local channels. In its initial years, DVAC operated primarily as more of an arts or cultural council, with donations being made to various artists, schools and organizations. For example, DVAC made grants to Dedham High School for the purchase of items, which provided access to video equipment and distribution
