Plymouth Area Community Television
Our Mission and Vision Statements
Our Mission
Connecting community through local and unbiased media that informs, empowers, and entertains.
Our Vision
Our vision is to become the essential and trusted resource for local stories, news, and information for the communities we serve.
How We're Funded
All that we do is primarily funded through franchise agreements between the current cable providers, Comcast and Verizon, and our four towns of Duxbury, Kingston, Pembroke, and Plymouth. These funds go directly into our operating expenses and serving our community.
As technology changes, and people choose to "cut the cord", our funding goes down - yet our not-for-profit mission remains the same. Connecting community through unbiased media is more important than ever.
If you can, and believe in the importance of local and unbiased news and community resources, we hope you will consider supporting PACTV. Click the link below, or contact our Chief Communications Officer at Julie@pactv.org. Thank you!
