WCA-TV is a 501c3 private non-profit organization established to ensure access to cable television channels and facilities for all Watertown, MA residents, groups and institutions, and to provide education and training to such groups on the use of access equipment and facilities. As a PEG access station, WCA-TV provides three channels on cable as well as online, which broadcast live and pre-recorded videos within the categories of public, educational, and governmental programs. Aside from our organization's duties to provide PEG access channels, our core programming includes teaching community members new skills, giving organizations a space to network and collaborate on projects, and providing a platform for residents to express themselves in a multitude of ways and capture the unique voices of our city. Community members can enhance or develop their skills in production in our various workshops, work as production assistants, on-camera talent, or announcers for high school sporting events, and take advantage of our internship opportunities for students. We measure our success based on the reach of our programming and the impact we make in our community through the work that we do. Our goal is to continue to be an open and welcoming space for all, and to serve as a platform for our community to learn and express themselves.
