Want To Be a TV Star?

Grafton Community Television and Charter Communications will host an open house and tour of the town’s public access cable TV facilities from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday, Aug. 29 at the Grafton Community Television studios at 296 Providence Road, South Grafton.

The open house also serves as an introduction to the fall video production class which begins Monday, Sept. 12.

"We’re really excited about gaining some new producers within the community to capture some of the great events in Grafton,'' said Kris McMullin, Grafton community television public access coordinator, in a prepared statement. "The GCTV staff are always happy to welcome the public to our studio to give them a better understanding of how cable access TV works in Grafton."

The fall video production class runs for eight weeks. The class lets participants get comfortable with using a video camera, editing their own video programs and learning the basics of behind the scenes directing.

The class is free to Grafton residents, town employees and local business owners who are 18 or older, regardless of whether or not they are cable television subscribers.

Completion of the class certifies participants as Grafton Community Television producers and allows them to produce their own television shows on Grafton Community Television.
