The Vision
Redding Community Access Corporation is
a communications vehicle by which community members, through organizations or
as individuals, are given an opportunity to
produce, participate in, and cablecast television programs.
It is the goal of The Redding Community
Access Corporation (RCAC) to interest and serve members of the community in
developing purposeful television productions through
video training offered through the Channel 11 production facility.
The purpose is to promote
awareness, understanding and involvement among
citizens within the community through the
production and cablecasting of access TV programming.
This supports individual freedom of
expression and allows individuals, organizations
and agencies to present a variety of programs on various community issues.
Funding
At its inception in 1987, funds to
operate and maintain the access facility were provided equally by the cable
provider and the City of Redding to sustain Channel 11. Currently the local
cable provider and the City of Redding assist in partial funding.
In July of 1996, RCAC became a private
nonprofit corporation. At that time RCAC developed a 5
year financial plan for funding through sources such as
grants and production fees. The nominal fees
charged for RCAC's services are vital to keeping Channel
11 operational and available to the community.
Who Runs Access
Redding Community Access Corporation is
a nonprofit Corporation with a board of directors made up of representatives from the
Community. These representatives oversee both the developmental and operational aspects
of Channel 11. If you are interested in applying
to be a board member please contact RCAC for a board application.
The Channel 11 facility is administered by a
full-time Executive Director, employed by RCAC, to manage the Access operation. The
Executive Director is accountable to the Redding Community Access Corporation Board
of Directors. Additional staff support is provided by RCAC for necessary administrative
assistance and technical maintenance of the facility
and remote van.
