Description
BATV is Billerica's non-profit public access center. We encourage Billerica residents and employees to utilize BATV's equipment and facilities to produce programming to promote government transparency and hyperlocal community coverage. Billerica Access Television, Inc.’s community volunteers, along with a governing body and professional staff are dedicated to preserving and advancing provisions that encourage and promote the expression of free flowing ideas and speech. To that end, we believe more communication is better than less and encourage users to express themselves utilizing BATV’s resources and training programs thru the medium of television and the world wide web. Referred to as Billerica’s First Amendment Forum, electronic soapbox and clearing house of information, BATV was incorporated in 1987. The membership based non-profit, non-commercial Public, Educational and Government (PEG) access television corporation and educational/technical/media center is located at 390 Boston Road in Billerica.
