The Valemount Entertainment Society recently intervened in a
CRTC hearing on the future of
Community Television in Canada.
You can find a very light hearted treatment of that subject in our extensive Youtube archives.
Who we are and what we do
VCTV: community television in Valemount
Valemount is one of seven communities in English speaking Canada with a license
to broadcast over the air community television, and we aim to use it! The Jewel in the Crown of VCTV is a weekly magazine called Valemount Live! It's a lot of fun.
VCTV is broadcast on VHF Channel 7, 24 hours a day. It's our mission to involve the community in meaningful quality television production, but VCTV keeps the community up to date with upcoming announcements, community information, weather forecasts and road conditions.
VCTV is run by the Valemount Entertainment society.
Valemount Entertainment Society
The Valemount Entertainment Society provides over the air television to Valemount and area. We are kind of like a small cable system, save that we broadcast our signals over the air and payment for those services are made through property taxes. The Valemount Entertainment Society is a non-profit society administered by a volunteer Board of Directors. In all we provide seven television channels and three radio stations and we provide an emergency radio service.
The purpose of The Valemount Entertainment Society is
· to rebroadcast radio and television signals and
to broadcast community tv
· to carry on activities providing television and
radio, or any other service related to entertainment that the
directors find appropriate
· to cooperate with other groups and organizations
concerned with providing social activities and entertainment for
the community and surrounding areas
Emergency Radio 104.1 FM
In the event of a prolonged power outage or similar catastrophe where traditional communications are impossible or impractical, our society has the ability to use fm radio to provide critical messages to the people of Valemount. Keep a small battery powerered radio for this purpose (with good batteries), however a working car stereo will do the trick too. During the emergency, CISN Country will be preempted on 104.1 FM.
