MVCC was created by and exists at the pleasure of the municipal governments of Centerville, Germantown, Kettering, Miamisburg, Moraine, Oakwood, Springboro, and West Carrollton. It is their support and the resources they contribute that determine and shape what we do. To that end, our primary focus is serving the needs of those governments and their constituents. Recognizing that our actions affect others (for example, our programming extends to a wider area than the geographic boundaries of our members), we will be conscious of that fact and to the extent that we can, will accommodate and serve the needs of that larger community as long as it does not conflict with or reflect unfavorably upon our members or ourselves.
MVCC, in collaboration with its member municipalities, exerts complete and absolute control, within the limits of the law, of the content and all uses of the government access channels. To that end, we reserve to ourselves the right to apply, adapt and interpret all policies in ways that best serve our collective interests.
The education channel is available for the use of educational institutions within the member municipality’s jurisdiction, so long as those uses conform to the policies for such uses that follow. In allocating the use of the education access channel, the priority will go to public school districts, second to public institutions of higher education, third to private elementary and secondary schools, and fourth to other private educational institutions.
Use of the public access channel is subject to controls imposed by law (obscenity, defamation, copyright, etc.) and by the policies that follow. Priority for use of the public access channel goes first to residents of MVCC member municipalities; second to residents within the area served by MVCC programming; and third to any others. The following policies shall be most liberally interpreted on behalf of the first category of users. Use of the public access channel is extended to persons in the second and third categories as a courtesy and may be withdrawn at any time and for any reason. Second category users are encouraged to use the channel to the extent that such use does not conflict with the interests of MVCC or its members or reflect negatively on them. Programs from persons in the third category may be accepted for use to the extent that they may prove useful or informative for viewers.

PLEASE REFER TO THE MIAMI VALLEY COMMUNICATIONS COUNCIL’S CABLECASTING TAPE GUIDELINES FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
SCHEDULING FOR CABLECAST1. The use in a monopolistic manner by one or a few select groups or individuals is not deemed to be in the public interest, nor is the domination of one type of programming over another. Channel use limitations will be applied in cases where the public interest in the diversity of programming is not being maintained.
2. MVCC will attempt to satisfy requests for the cablecast of programs at specific times on specific dates, depending upon the availability of equipment and channel time. MVCC reserves the right, however, to schedule programs at its discretion.
3. In allocating channel time for both individual programs and series time slots, the following priorities will be used:
· Live programs. The producer may be asked to demonstrate the need for the program to be live, such as being interactive with viewers.
· Taped studio or remote programs produced by an MVCC certified producer.
· Locally produced programs taped within our service area.
· Locally produced programs taped in Montgomery, Greene, or Warren Counties.
· non-locally produced programs.
4. Regularly scheduled series time slots may be allocated at the discretion of MVCC staff. The Series will be scheduled for a maximum of 26 weeks and will be reviewed for renewal at that time. If a series producer fails to submit new programs for more than two consecutive scheduling cycles, the remaining portion of the series time may be reassigned at the discretion of the staff
5. Except for live and series productions, no program will be scheduled until it has been completed. Exceptions may be made when the timeliness of a program is essential. A request for waiver of this requirement should be made at least one week in advance.
6. If a submitted tape is technically acceptable for cablecasting, the Miami Valley Communications Council will cablecast the tape at least once.
7. MVCC, at its discretion, will, from time to time, enter into contracts or agreements to procure programming from various programming sources.
8. For non-locally produced (NCP) programming, the requested individual program must be supplied and a “Request for Cablecast” form be completed by a person residing in an area serviced by MVCC. All tapes must be clearly labeled, with the name of the program, the exact length (in hours, minutes, and seconds), the date it was dropped off, and any special instructions. In addition, the person requesting cablecast is responsible for securing all clearances and releases for the program.
Such clearances and releases must be in writing and must be presented at the time the tape is submitted. It is the responsibility of the owner to pick up his/her tape. If the tape is not picked up within six months of the date it is left with MVCC for cablecast, it becomes the property of MVCC.
9. Anyone who requests the scheduling of a local program not produced with MVCC equipment or facilities must follow the same procedures as outlined in Paragraph 7.
The following procedure will be followed with all Program Proposals, Request for Cablecast, and Requests for Series Cablecast Forms:
· The appropriate forms should be completed and submitted to the Volunteer Production Supervisor or his/her designee.
· The form(s) will then be forwarded to the Director of Cable Operations or his/her designee.
· If necessary, the Director of Cable Operations or his/her designee will assign staff to work with the community producer.
· The Director of Cable Operations, or his/her designee will then forward the completed tape and/or form(s) to the Programming Supervisor for scheduling.
· If necessary, the Volunteer Production Supervisor will contact the community producer concerning the reservation form(s).
