Keep Local Voices

Alive in Bennington

CAT-TV has connected our community for over 35 years, giving people a platform to share stories, access media tools, and stay informed.

But today that work is at risk

Why Support Matters Now

Funding has declined 27% since 2021

Cable revenue continues to shrink as viewers move to streaming

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

Your Support Keeps:

Local stories alive

Public meetings accessible

Media tools available to everyone

Why We Need You

For decades, CAT-TV has been funded through cable revenues. As more viewers shift to streaming, that model is disappearing.

Since 2021 alone, funding has declined 27%—and the trend continues.

Community support is now essential to keep this work going.

Voices from our Community

“By providing recordings of local Selectboard and Town meetings, CAT-TV is a vital part of the efforts made for inclusivity. They help the public keep updated on what’s going on in their town and community, when they cannot attend the meetings.”
— Paula Iken, Town Administrator, Shsftsbury VT
“Public access television helps tell the authentic, true story of our region, our people, and our future. There is no better community storytelling partner than CAT-TV! ”
— Matt Harrington, CEO of the Southwestern Vermont Chamber Enterprise
“We love that CAT-TV makes our Music at the Museum programs available to everyone in our community and beyond”
— Director of Public Programs: Deana Mallory
