Welcome to CTAM's Website   
The mission of CTAM is to advance democratic ideals by ensuring that people in Maine have access to electronic media. In order for democracy to flourish, people must be active participants in their government, educated to think critically, and free to express themselves.

 

CTAM is a state-wide non-profit organization created to support the efforts of community media in Maine. The membership represents a variety of existing community television organizations throughout the state that have developed, and manage, local cable "access" channels.

CTAM was founded in 1982 as a networking organization for community television stations in Maine and has been incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit since 1992. As an affiliate member of Maine Municipal Association, we assist more than 150 towns in Maine with their Public, Educational and Governmental television channels.

     

    
     

News and Announcements   
CTAM's E-Mail Address
As of July 24, 2007, CTAM's e-mail address has (finally) changed to info@ctamaine.org.  The old address (ctam@usa.net) is no longer active. Please change your contact lists accordingly!
 

New Resources Added
On the Resources page of this website you will find two new sections: Access Center Policy Manuals and Franchise Agreements. If you would like to share either your center's policy manual or your community's franchise agreement, please e-mail them to webmaster@ctamaine.org for posting in the appropriate section.  Other materials for the CTAM Resources library would also be appreciated.  
Video Programs Available/Wanted

Until your webmaster is able to create an interactive database of programs produced by Maine access centers and independant producers, please post a listing of programs that you would like to offer to other access centers and suggestions/requests for programming you would like to receive in a newly created section of our CTAM Forums.

Interactive Database of Maine Access Centers   

Your webmaster has finally posted an interactive database of information on each known Access Center in the State of Maine.  In addition to being able to search the database by City or Center and by the type of access provided (educational, governmental, PEG, leased access, etc), you can click on the make PDF button to prepare a printable report.

Authorized access center contact persons will be able to add and update information to this database and even upload both a logo and photo image to be displayed with their center's information.  We encourage any access center contact persons to register as a user of this site so that they will be able to make changes and additions as necessary.  There are also several new fields of data that we had not included in the old Excel and PDF access center listings - center's website URL, cities or towns served (in addition to a center's place of physical location), contact person's title, and a brief description providing more information about the center.  At this time, most centers have not filled in these new fields - we encourage them to do so as soon as possible.

To access the searchable database of centers, please click on the "Centers" tab in the top menu of each page of this website.  There are also two other views of a subset of this data found on other pages of the site: a list of access center e-mail addresses found under the "Contact" tab and a list of access center website addresses found under the "Links" tab.

Please advise your webmaster using the below e-mail link if you are having any problems with accessing or using this new information or if you have suggestions for other reports or fields of information to be added.
