The City County Communications Marketing Association (3CMA) has named our production of the OHSAA District Championships as a top three finalist for a Savvy Award. This is a major accomplishment for our team and a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved.
The Savvy Awards recognize excellence in communications and marketing by local government agencies and organizations. Our production of the OHSAA District Championships was a huge undertaking, involving live coverage, play-by-play, interviews, and taped packages. We also created a short video highlighting the 40+ hours of production that went into the project.
History
Miami Valley Communications Council is a municipal communications and technology organization representing the eight member cities of Centerville, Germantown, Kettering, Miamisburg, Moraine, Oakwood, Springboro and West Carrollton. The council also has affiliate agreements with other Miami Valley cities. MVCC was formed in 1975 as a council of governments to monitor, regulate, and administer common cable television franchise agreements, manage the operation of the council's cable access television channels, and develop and implement intergovernmental projects designed to strengthen communications between member cities and their citizens. A policy-making body consisting of delegates representing member cities governs the council.
Funding
MVCC is funded through franchise fees paid by the cable service provider. Franchise fees are rent that the cable company pays for placing its wires over or under the public rights-of-way (streets.) MVCC uses these franchise fees to support its community access television activities, cooperative intergovernmental projects, and to explore new and changing technologies that will benefit member communities. The council, in turn, provides many services to our communities at little or no cost.
