Our
Mission
Our mission is to provide television production equipment, training, and descriptive programming to encourage civic engagement of residents, non-profits, schools, business, and cultural entities to produce locally relevant content, lending to the community-wide exploration of health, social, educational issues and to expand local interests in art, music, theater, dance, culinary science, and exercise locally. Our Vision To provide and be the communication resource hub of our communities, complete with ongoing educationally current and instructional staff/ production personnel, student producers, volunteer programming, alternate daily program content, and a dependable supplemental revenue stream in order to output a wealth of cultural, entertainment, historical, healthy, and experimentally diverse programming to meet all of the multi-media needs of our communities. Television ProductionThe Oxford Area Cable Communications Commissions operates Oxford Community Television. Oxford Community Television – OCTV is a Public, Educational and Governmental or P.E.G. Channel.
Vision StatementAs evolving technologies and changing trends in broadcasting become available, our long range strategic Vision will enable us to anticipate and project their impact and opportunities. Our process design and purchase decisions will be guided and directed by research and development into these evolving technologies. Our Vision includes the enabling of the local residents to create content for broadcast within their own homes. Our vision includes preparing resident producers to use their home computers and video editing computer programs to create and develop content for broadcast on our channels. We envision a virtual Studio concept which includes the entire community as a programming development base. We intend to prepare resident producers and students to deliver computer files from home for scheduling and broadcasting. We envision the growth of the medium as we assist efforts to raise awareness and acceptance through our efforts to deliver training, facilities, production and broadcast services to our community. Inter-local AgreementThrough an agreement with the municipal governments of Addison Township, Oxford Township, the Village of Leonard and the Village of Oxford, program production, training, equipment and facilities together with playback services are provided to three basic groups:
Together, service to these groups is known as Public, Educational and Government (PEG) access. The OACCC, or its operational activity known as Oxford Community Television (OCTV), neither selects nor censors access programming. Rather, it is the local residents, organizations, schools and government bodies that determine what information is important to share with the members of our community. The Operating Rules and Procedures are designed to ensure that resources are used only for intended purposes and that all who wish to participate have an opportunity to do so on a fair and non-discriminatory basis. To maintain a successful community access channel, everyone must take responsibility for their actions and respect the rights of others who use the media access center. Public Access UseA significant portion of the resources available through the OACCC is for public access use. The staff at Oxford Community Television works with interested parties to make the most productive use of these resources on behalf of the OACCC. Membership
