Support CAT-TV & local creativity

CAT-TV is Bennington’s trusted voice—connecting our community for over 35 years.

But today, that work is at risk.

  • Funding has declined 27% since 2021

  • Cable revenue continues to shrink as viewers shift to streaming

  • Without community support, local media like CAT-TV cannot sustain itself

Your support keeps local stories alive, meetings accessible, and media tools available to everyone.

Why It Matters

CAT-TV provides something our community can’t afford to lose:

  • Coverage of local government and community events

  • A platform for residents to share stories and perspectives

  • Free or low-cost access to media training and equipment

  • A trusted, local source of information that brings people together

Why We Need You

For decades, CAT-TV has been primarily funded through cable revenues. As more viewers move to streaming services, that funding model is rapidly disappearing.  Since 2021 alone, we’ve seen a 27% decline—and the trend is expected to continue.

Why become a member?

Becoming a CAT-TV member connects you directly to your community’s stories and allows you to create and share your own. Members gain access to equipment, training, and a platform to have their voice heard. It’s a simple way to stay engaged, support local media, and be part of something that truly belongs to the community.

Why become a sponsor?

Sponsoring CAT-TV is a powerful way to support your community while increasing visibility for your business. Your sponsorship aligns your brand with local storytelling, community engagement, and accessible media, reaching audiences that value businesses that give back. It’s not just advertising—it’s a meaningful investment in the place you live and work.

Why become a donor?

Donating to CAT-TV is a direct way to protect a vital community resource and ensure local stories continue to be told. With funding on the decline, your support helps sustain free access to media training, equipment, and programming for everyone. Your contribution is also fully tax-deductible, making it a meaningful and impactful way to give back.
