Saugus candidates and cable TV Voters really can’t get enough information on the candidates running in the Saugus town elections on Nov. 5. So, as a public service, we will share a letter from Bryan Nadeau, the executive director of Saugus Community Television, Inc., as he attempts to reach out to all candidates who are running for offi ce: It is election time once again in the Town of Saugus, and Saugus TV off ers a number of diff erent ways for candidates to get information out to Saugram: Saugus TV invites candidates for Saugus Board of Selectmen and Saugus School Committee to schedule a time to come to the studio, located at 1 Pearce Memorial Dr., to record their candidate statements. Each candidate is allowed three minutes of airtime to let viewers know who they are and why they are running for offi ce. This statement is intended to be shot in one take. We allow for on-site review of your take, and will reshoot if necessary. There will be no reshoots available thereafter. There is no cost to the candidate for participating in this taping. Starting October 4th, candidates running for Saugus Board of Selectmen or Saugus School Committee that are interested in recording a statement should contact Saugus TV Executive Director Bryan Nadeau to schedule a date and time. The Deadline to record your statement is October 18th at 5 PM. All candidate statements recorded will then be compiled into a single program that will air on Comcast Channel 8 starting October 25th. This program will air three times a day, at random times in the morning, afternoon, and evening until the election is over on November 5th. Air date and times TBD. Saugus TV program schedules are available at www.saugustv.org. The program will also be available to view on our Vimeo page at www.vimeo.com/saugustelevision. Candidate forums: Saugus TV may tape and cablecast other organization’s forums and/or debates, with notice at least 5 days prior to the event, subject to crew availability. Additional Political Programming: SCTV encourages all Saugus residents, persons associated with a businesses or organizations (whether for profi t or non-profi t), including candidates for any political offi ce, to use the public access channel to communicate their political views. Candidates and other providers of political programs, as well as the programs themselves, are subject to the same policies and procedures as any other user of SCTV, including with respect to the use of a bulletin board. Saugus TV is non-partisan; therefore we do not produce programs endorsing specifi c candidates or ballot questions. We encourage residents, organizations, and businesses to become members of Saugus TV. If a candidate is a member, or becomes a member of Saugus TV, they are entitled to take our courses and learn how to use our video production equipment, and the ability to use it for the purposes of creating a program that will air on Saugus TV. These programs will be shown on Comcast Channel 8 and will air 4 times a week (like any other member production), at random times, and will run up until 24 hours before the start of the November 5th election day. Viewers will be able to fi nd these airings on the Saugus TV Program Schedule as “Candidate Spot(s)” We look forward to working with all of the candidates, and hope that you take advantage of everything Saugus TV has to off er.
