Press Release
WayCAM adds Verizon Channel 37
Effective July 14, 2008, Verizon cable subscribers can now watch all WayCAM programming. The new programming is being carried on Verizon Channel 37. We continue to carry our programming on Channel 9, for Comcast cable subscribers.
The new channel is the result of the cable licensing agreement negotiated by the town with Verizon and signed last January. Early subscribers to Verizon who had switched from Comcast, until now have been unable to view any of the public, educational or government programming produced and aired by WayCAM. On July 14, the new channel was connected at the WayCAM studio and Wayland now has two cable providers broadcasting through WayCAM.
"We are very excited to be finally able to broadcast to all Wayland cable subscribers. We've been waiting seven months for this day, and now all who want to keep up with the events in town via cable, can do that," said Jim Mullane the Station Manager. "It's a great day for Wayland."
"We hope this new channel is just the beginning of WayCAM's growth," said Ken Isaacson, president of the WayCAM Board of Directors. "We are looking forward to a second Verizon channel going live around January of this coming year. And hopefully a new contract with Comcast could result in a second Comcast channel, as well, starting in 2010. WayCAM is already producing more than 30 original programs per month, and we have 100 high school students enrolled in TV production classes next school year, starting in September. There will be a real need for the new channels."
WayCAM's TV schedule is listed on the WayCAM Web site (www.wayland.ma.us/WayCAM), and is published weekly in the Town Crier, both in print and online.
