Community Media Medford, a legitimate Medford business,  was the only company that put in a proposal to operate the new public access TV station.   

Our YouTube channel serves as the prototype for the possibilities once our new station is in place.

Mario Martin: 

“Real Estate is the common denominator in Medford”




June 15th, 2015, Medford, MA – City Council Candidate Mario Martin believes economic turn is rapidly approaching South Medford. The Green line extension into Ball Square is nearly complete expanding the reach of public infrastructure into the local community. But when MBTA occupies 97% of its project on Medford and faces Somerville storefronts, Martin seems to think South Medford might be slightly underrepresented. 


Given the projects overwhelming benefits, the GLX not surprisingly has strong support from the majority of South Medford residents and the city administration, “But it’s important for the next administration to oversee the GLX through its completion”. Martin isn’t just talking about reducing congested Harvard street traffic, increased road maintenance, deadly auto emissions, and excessive parking demand; he’s talking about the economic growth potential.


Since the GLX will be within a 10-minute walking radius for 10,000+ locals, many residents understand, with benefits comes change. Martin’s vision is to turn the area into a culturally conscious, frequent shopping & recreational marketplace.
