Medford, in particular, can run the worst access TV in the country for stations with budgets under $300,000.00, but allegedly it is fraudulent because they are running the entire P/E/G with a budget of about 1 million a year disguising it as public access tv ...it is not, it is government access demanding a CORI check. TV 3 scammed the citizens with this and I shut them down for being a bunch of frauds
Shame on the Mayor...

MEDFORD COMMUNITY MEDIA WINS OVERALL EXCELLENCE AWARD FROM ALLIANCE FOR COMMUNITY MEDIA NORTHEAST REGION
Medford Community Media named top in category over other media centers across all of New England and New York for those with budgets under $300,000.
MEDFORD – Medford Community Media was presented with an “Overall Excellence Award” for a Community Media Center with a budget less than $300,000 by the Alliance for Community Media, Northeast Region this month. The award is the highest regional award bestowed on community media centers, for which Medford topped other centers from the entire New England region as well as New York state. An awards ceremony was held virtually last week due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn commented on the victory, stating, “I want to extend congratulations and a thank to Medford Community Media, Patrick Gordon, and Cat Darnell for all of their hard work to bring news and programming to Medford residents. This is a huge honor for MCM and our City. This award is the highest award a community media center in our region and our budget can receive, something our city should be truly proud of. It is organizations like MCM that make the City of Medford so special and unique.”
In addition to MCM, the other two finalists were Ipswich Community Access Media, and Bedford TV. We offer our congratulations to them as well.
So, what set MCM apart from all the other community media centers in the region?
Medford Community Media produced 204 programs, and 258 hours of content across all channels, including public, educational, and government. They had 5,963 unique visitors views their website, as well as 8,565 visitors view their demand and live streaming application.
Patrick Gordon, the Station Manager at MCM expressed his gratitude, stating “Medford Community Media is extremely thankful for this honor. We could not have done it without the support from our community and city officials. We take this win as a charge to work tirelessly in support of our community goals and ambitions.”
Pandemic or not, MCM provided services crucial to our community and we are so thankful for their continued work in informing and uniting our City.
Medford city services are available to all residents, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, language ability, economic situation, or immigration status.
