Pictures from the 2008 DCTV Holiday Open House
Scroll down to Program Highlights to preview CHANGE 2009, taped at DCTV's studios during our Holiday Open House.
DCTV’s training program has been revamped to serve our community even better! Members can get certified to produce programming at our facility in less time.
Our revised class structure begins with the all-new DCTV101 class. DCTV101 is required for new members who want to be Active DCTV Members -- eligible to take our certification courses and eligible to submit programs for telecast. This is a FREE one-session class, and it will be offered twice each month on varying weeknights from 7 to 9 PM.
Producing, another new course, is the keystone of our new training approach. We’re excited about this comprehensive class that results in a completed production – with both studio and field elements – for each member who successfully participates! Over five weeknight sessions, in addition to edit sessions and possible additional team production work, participants will learn to articulate a creative vision and drive the production process, weigh creative choices, and they will practice vital skills such as interviewing subjects and managing a crew. Producing class participants will have a built-in crew of participants from our technical courses!
Our more familiar course options, Field Technician, Studio Technician, and Basic Editing, have been upgraded. These courses are no longer locked into one specific night of the week, so check the schedule to see what is available to you. And there’s a new Saturday option for those who want to learn all three: By popular demand, DCTV is unveiling an Intensive Field, Studio and Editing course that meets on Saturdays. Learn all aspects of our studio production, field production and editing curriculum and complete a studio production, that includes edited field segments. The course meets over five Saturdays from 11 AM – 4 PM. The prerequisite for this Saturday intensive is that you have successfully completed the Producing course or that you are taking Producing simultaneously.
We highly encourage all currently certified members to take the condensed version of the new Producing course. This is a FREE one-session opportunity to refresh skills and get newly acquainted with upgrades at DCTV.
The next cycle of DCTV courses kicks off this month. Please see the Training Schedule and Course Descriptions here.

In December, DCTV invited the public into its studios for an Open House. We taped your individual messages about change, and about your hopes for 2009 and the history-making events it will bring.
The result is CHANGE 2009, a powerful program that airs on DCTV Comcast 95/RCN10 throughout January. See the Program Highlights for more. You can still share your perspectives on change via our Question of the Month, also on this page.
All the Best in 2009,
Nantz Rickard
