PROGRAMMING

HCAT volunteers produce educational and community related programs. Our automated playback system allows us to schedule the programs at various times during the day. While we receive many requests to cover events in town, we are limited by the availability of the volunteer staff. If you have a desire to see a local event covered by HCAT TV we encourage you to sign up for FREE training and turn your area of interest into an HCAT production. Please watch Comcast channel 8 or Verizon channel 32 to see the programming schedule for the current week.

HCAT TV uses three channels:

Comcast Channel 8 Verizon Channel 32	The primary channel for Holliston Cable Access Programming.
Comcast Channel 10 Verizon Channel 33	Morning weather from the Miller Elementary School and School Committee Meetings telecast LIVE
Comcast Channel 11 Verizon Channel 34	Live telecast of the Selectmen's meetings, Live telecast of the Finance Committee meetings when possible, Town Meetings, Other Town Government programs.

Copies of programs are available for a nominal fee of $5.00. Tapes/DVDs are made on a first come, first served basis as time allows. Please be specific on the program needed, especially for sporting events. To keep the cost down, we will not be able to mail the copies to you so a contact number or email address is required so we can let you know when you can pick up the media at the studio.
