re: links with The Community Channel

Dear all

I'm getting in touch following on from the session ‘The Future of Local 
and Community Television’ at the CMA Festival in May where a lot of you 
asked about linking up with the Community Channel.  There was a clear 
passion for community and local television and obviously a lot of work 
being done in this area across the UK, which was demonstrated by the 
momentum of questions asked!  A lot of people that were at the session 
have asked how the Community Channel could support this work (apologies 
for sending this to those of you that hadn't asked for the info).  
There are two ways in which we could support your work:-


- by showcasing your content on a UK-wide TV channel
- by working with you on future Community Channel programmes


If you're interested in sending us content please get in touch just to 
let us know you exist and tell us what type of films / programmes / 
projects you've made for TV or plan to make in the future.  We can 
feedback and let you know the potential for getting these to air.

Sometimes small amounts of money are available for filming locally, and 
if you're interested in working with us on some of our future local 
output please send us some info about your organisation.  If you could 
contact me with details of your production facilities / people (i.e. 
“we have a Final Cut Pro, 2 x PD150 cameras and one trainer”), then we 
can keep details on record and try to match you with any future 
Community Channel film opportunities.  We'll also consider you for 
small commissions – such as filming sequences for existing or future 
programmes in your local area.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any queries – looking 
forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Faye
