1. What does RCTV mean?
RCTV stands for Rye Community Television. That name covers the operation of three channels: 75 the government access channel, 76 the community access channel, and 77 the educational access channel.
2. How is RCTV funded?
The operations for channels 75 and 76 are funded by franchise fees paid by Cablevision: Rye’s only cable TV franchise. The bulk of Channel 77’s operations are funded by the Rye City School district.
3. Does RCTV "cover" events?
RCTV is not a production company. City of Rye cable TV staff produces programs free of charge for the City Government and its departments. RCTV will also provide production service for not-for-profit organizations who wish to make public service announcements. Longer productions may be produced by RCTV for a fee. RCTV encourages volunteers to produce all programs for cablecast on the community access channel.
4. How did that awful show get on RCTV?
Anyone in the community is allowed to use the community access channel and RCTV facilities. Anyone who submits a program for channel 76 must sign a "producer’s agreement" taking responsibility for the program’s content.
5. Programs play on RCTV channels over the weekend; does RCTV have weekend hours?
RCTV’s playback system for all three channels is automated. There are no RCTV members on duty over the weekend. If playback malfunctions, chances are it will malfunction all weekend.
6. Is RCTV part of the Cable Company?
RCTV is not part of Cablevision. Cablevision transmits RCTV’s signal to all their subscribers’ homes, but their responsibility stops at providing a clear transmission into the home. Conversely, RCTV is not involved in cable installation, repairs or service. If you have questions about these areas you should call Cablevision’s Customer Service Line at 777-9000.
