To add aDanvers Community Access Television encourages all residents of Danvers to create programming on their own. We understand individuals have busy schedules and lives, so even though DCAT will not send staff to tape your event, we will help you find volunteers who will. If you want to tape the event yourself, DCAT will be happy to have you as a member and provide you with training.

No, DCAT is a non-profit organization that maintains the Public, Education and Government channels for the town. On Comcast these channels are 99, 8 and 22. On Verizon the channels are 36, 37 and 41. We do not make any decisions about the other channels.

To get an already made program on DCAT's public access channel you must live or work in Danvers or have a sponsor from Danvers. The request must be approved by the Executive Director. Once the show is accepted, the sponsor must sign a Cable Access Usage Agreement.   If you would like to create a program, you will need to live or work in Danvers and sign up as a DCAT member. After you sign up, you will have to attend an orientation class. This orientation is free. It is designed to introduce the new member to DCAT's policies and procedures, as well as get a tour of the studio and discuss their future goals.   How can I get a message on your Electronic Bulletin Board? DCAT will only post messages of non-profit, community organizations or businesses supporting a non-profit event. Messages will air two weeks prior to the event or up until the event and then will be taken down. Include all the information about the event as well as a contact number. The DCAT website has a form that can be filled out and sent directly. You can email your message to Ginny at Ginny@danverstv.org.

DCAT makes professional equipment available to our members under the condition they are creating programming for the purpose of airing on our channels and not for profit making under any circumstance.

DCAT provides members with tools to be able to create their own programming. We are confident that given the right training, equipment and opportunities, our members can make quality programming. So, no, we cannot do it for you, but we will help you along the way.
