 Over the past year, CTV's team has worked hard to build a foundation to create a new model without traditional operating funds. New technology tools, new volunteer equity program, and new contracts for professional paid productions will continue to develop this model further. CTV now offers a high-level, technically focused internship program. Unlike internships at other places, we don't ask our interns to answer phones and files. We actually send them out in the field with a camera. We get them in the studio, we ask them what they want to learn, and we're truly dedicated to making sure they get to come away with those skills. One of the things I enjoy most about community television is seeing people who never thought they could make a video or make a television show have it airing on TV and them getting to see what their work was and to see how good it looks. It's really exciting working with community television because we're involved in so many ways. It gives you a feeling of connectedness and it gives you a feeling of accomplishment and a feeling of contribution and I think those are things that make life much more meaningful. It goes well beyond money, status, anything else you can get is that feeling of being part of the community. But we need your help and the community's help to develop CTV's model on a long-term sustainable basis.
