RFC-TV Volunteers
Getting Started
Produce a program
Call RFC-TV at 425-5400 to set up an orientation meeting with RFC-TV staff and to receive your copy of the RFC-TV Policy and Procedure Handbook. This meeting consists of a tour of the facility and basic overview of RFC-TV procedures, training classes and scheduling requirements. In most cases, you will need training on use of RFC-TV equipment and/or facilities to produce any community programming.
Volunteer Opportunities
RFC-TV volunteers play a vital role in the production of community programming. No experience is necessary, and RFC-TV provides a great environment for learning the basics of video production.
RFC-TV 16 Classes
Orientation to RFC-TV 16
This hour-long class will introduce you to the world of Public Access Television! Learn of the benefits and resources available for making your own television productions. At this meeting you will receive your copy of the RFC-TV 16 Policies and Procedures Handbook, tour the facility, and we'll give you a basic overview of what it takes to produce your own program.

After completing the Orientation to RFC-TV 16, class participants can take Field Production and learn portable video camera operation or "Electronic Field Production" (EFP). This class is designed for those who want to record material outside of the RFC-TV 16 facilities.

Class participants can also look forward to taking Studio Production, which is an introduction to the various equipment items in the Studio and Control Area with a chance to practice on the equipment.
