NORTHFIELD — Bernardston-Northfield Community Television (BNCTV) is seeking volunteers for its board of directors.
The local community broadcast network has a board of directors that usually consists of nine members — three from Bernardston, three from Northfield and three who represent towns in the Pioneer Valley Regional School District. Employee Otis Wheeler came before the Northfield Selectboard on Aug. 10 to announce BNCTV needs two board members from Northfield and two from the school district towns.
Those who are interested in volunteering can inquire with Wheeler at owheeler@bnctv.net, or call BNCTV at 413-648-6300.
Wheeler said the board, which oversees BNCTV as a nonprofit, meets on a quarterly basis, “so it’s not a huge commitment.”
While BNCTV records and livestreams as many home sports games at Pioneer as possible, Wheeler said BNCTV needs the support of a full board to ensure this continues. He said sports coverage could be the first thing to “fall away” without a full board’s support, as the non-profit is committed to towns’ municipal coverage.
