A new morning show. Wareham High School students filming their own programs. State-of-the-art production equipment. 

There’s been a lot going on at WCTV in the past year – even as lingering legal issues delay the public access station’s purchase of its Old Town Hall headquarters.

WCTV members got a rundown of accomplishments, challenges and plans during the organization’s annual meeting Wednesday, Sept. 25, at Salerno’s Function Hall in Onset.

Executive Director Steve Ruiz assured the group that the WCTV was still going to purchase its Main Street headquarters from the town and expand the building. The holdup, he said, was “some deed issues” going back beyond 1929 that require more legal work to get a clear title.

In the meantime, WCTV continues to lease the building from the town as a home base for the production of educational, government and public access programming.

WCTV is funded through fees collected by the town from cable TV providers Verizon and Comcast. Membership in the station is designed more as a way to encourage public involvement than as a source of revenue.

On Wednesday, members heard from WCTV employees about their projects in the past year.

Queen Banda, creator and host of the Monday-Wednesday-Friday “Good Morning Wareham” show, played clips of her interviews with subjects ranging from wildlife rehabilitators to a local businesswoman.

Christian Fernandes talked about his work with school-related programming. That included reinvigorating the Audio-Visual Club. Proof of that reinvigoration: He played some AV Club videos.

Fernandes also noted that the state-of-the-art studio equipment purchased by the station allows a crew to broadcast football, basketball and other games with equipment that can fit in the trunk of a car rather than needing to be transported in WCTV’s big truck.

Michaela Bottino continued the youth theme by introducing a group of station interns. Although presented at the tail end of the meeting, the interns’ enthusiasm and work product drew a long round of applause.
