I hope.

I unmuted it.

All right.

All right.

Mr.

Painter.

All right.

Excuse me.

Our current balance of the operating account 2505.

And I apologize, I made a mistake in the in what I sent you, or or what I sent out uh uh on the desk today.

Um our operating account 2505 is 288,844, not 288,000 dollars.

And our expenses for May 2026, including salaries and facility operations, totaled $34,475, not $400.

Um we had fifth $5,903 cable casts total March from March 2026 to May 2026.

Uh of this, 150 were live events, and of this it broke down to the public.

Uh excuse me, was 28.

Education 22 was 47, and government was uh 52, and our HD channel was 23.

And we had 5753 playbacks, and of this public six was 2682, education 22 was 852, and government 16 was 957, and our HD channel uh was 1262.

We had some equipment problems both in the chamber and auditorium.

In the chamber we replaced the PoE switch at as well as testing of the entire system here.

Um all is working properly now.

In the auditorium, we had a down camera and the monitor controller for the room was not responding.

Uh Key Code, our vendor was able to repair the camera and through their troubleshooting determine that the controller is at the end of its life.

Uh so they will be sending us a quote for a replacement controller.

Uh the question we have is uh the that we've got to answer is who is responsible for payment uh of that controller of getting that system going up there again, uh, because that wouldn't be us.

That w that we we've got everything else in there, uh cameras and and everything in the switcher.

Um as I explained in my email, we apologize for not having this June meeting take place at at our studio.

We didn't realize in March that this week would be major bu uh budget public hearing, wrap-up and multiple meetings each night, as well as a north and south high graduations, which went off really really well.

Um we we cover the that we cover live each year on Tuesday and Wednesday night.

Uh we'd like to have the September meeting take place in the studio if that's possible.

Uh we presented in front of the finance committee on May 20th for the second year contract extension for B ERB TV to run our public access channels.

And they unanimously approved the extension.

So we would like to congratulate BRB TV to continue putting up with us.

Um we have we have been having issues with several lighting fixers at the CTV offices.

That prompted us to start considering a change from the standard fluorescent tube lighting to more efficient LED lighting.

Retrofitted with the LED tube lights in the common area as well as task lighting in the studio and replacing fixtures in the drop-down ceilings in the three offices.

Cost estimates about three months ago were 1,800.

So we would request authorization to spend an amount not to exceed $2,200 from equipment repairs and maintenance budget to upgrade our current lighting to cost saving LED technology.

Our equipment needs.

Okay.

All right.

Yeah, Pete Johnson Education Channel Administrator.

So yes, uh on uh Wednesday evening we did lose uh one camera um one of the ones that was uh intended to be replaced during the um hopefully during the summer here with that Comcast money so um we can discuss that later on especially if there does become a quorum so uh as far as programming on uh our side we've been uh extremely busy obviously for the last uh couple of weeks and uh months so in March uh going back to our last meeting we had uh a lot of uh basketball ending the uh the month so we did uh Nashua South Girls Basketball versus Pinkerton on the second fourth we did live coverage of Wyndham at South Boys Basketball, the fifth live coverage of Exeter at South Girls Basketball.

On the 9th, we did live coverage of the fiscal year 2027 school budget public hearing.

On the 11th we recorded Bishop Gerton hockey at uh the UNH arena, I think is what it says.

I'm reading it correctly.

Okay.

Um S N U H up in Manchester, it wasn't over and at the Seacoast.

So uh we recorded uh Bishop Gerton hockey at Concord uh final at I think that's twice three 22 recorded and oh Nashville Public Library.

It's a little difficult to read, sorry about that.

Um beyond the book uh author interview with Laura Canoy.

So moving into April um a little bit slower for uh school sports as we were between seasons, but we uh continued we had a public health weekly uh kickoff that we have um recorded uh we also recorded a new children's program that's coming from the Gloria Timmins Community Center uh what's the name of that one Dan sorry excuse me Dan Young National Community Media Um the name of the show is Once Upon a Craft Time and it is uh show where and my uh I'm so bad with names uh two women read uh uh children's book and then they do a craft time uh craft activity based on that book whether it's it's coloring and painting or um the the first episode is the hungry caterpillar and they make a little caterpillar so or a butterfly sorry a beautiful butterfly so at this point they're coming in and doing a monthly show and uh in the fall we're looking at um bringing them in two times a month so that they can uh um have a little more frequency on their programming uh we did uh started baseball later in the month uh we did BG versus South at Holman uh we also did Alvern uh versus South at Hallman on the 21st, 24th

So at this point they're coming in and doing a monthly show, and uh in the fall we're looking at um bringing them in two times a month so that they can uh um have a little more frequency on their programming.

Uh we did uh started baseball later in the month.

Uh we did BG versus South at Holman.

Uh we also did Alvern uh versus South at Hallman on the 21st, 24th.

We did BG versus North Baseball, 25th, we did the sustainability fair that was held uh at the Nashua Library, uh live uh coverage of our Salem versus South of Boys Lacrosse.

Um we did actually go through last night and look at the data from our graduation exercises, and Dan couldn't he's adding things up right here, but uh maybe in a couple of minutes we can do a quickie report on uh if you can give me just another couple of years.

Yeah, it's maybe that's maybe during the second public comment.

Okay, sure.

Yeah, we can do it then.

All right, Mr.

Painter, financial statements?

Or did you already cover those?

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I did I did cover those.

All right, uh let's cover them again since we're officially started.

All right, our um excuse me, I've got the wrong one here.

Okay, our our uh current balance of operating account 2505 is 288,844 dollars.

Our expenses for May 2026, including salaries and facility operations, uh totaled 34,475 dollars.

All right, thank you.

We were asking for the um the lighting yeah, we'll get to that in the new business.

Okay, yeah.

So all right.

Uh I don't see any old business listed, so new business.

Okay.

Oh, okay.

That would that was uh one of them was the uh the lighting in the in the studio that we want to and what we'd be asking excuse me.

Um I put it.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

So please be.

Oh, I'm sorry, I that's okay.

Uh uh to author is we request an authorization to spend an amount not to exceed $2,200 uh for and this would be coming from the equipment repairs maintenance budget to upgrade our uh current lighting to cost-saving LED technology.

All right, is there any discussion?

Oh, actually, we need a motion first.

Director McCormick.

From the equipment repairs and maintenance budget to repair the lighting in the studio.

All right, the motion is to proceed forward.

Uh any discussion.

Seeing none, all those in favor?

Aye, aye.

Oppose motion passes.

Mr.

Paynard.

Okay.

The next one would be uh excuse me, the uh $25,000 that we will be receiving from from Comcast uh this month, and we would be we'll be requesting authorization to spend on those items uh especially the can the camera that just broke.

Um in the amount not to exceed the $25,000 we will be receiving from Comcast later this month for equipment purchases.

And that is what it's expressly uh there for the equipment.

Okay.

All right, is there a motion?

Director McCormick?

Director McCormick, I move to approve an expenditure not to exceed $25,000 for the purchase of equipment allowable under the funding received from Comcast.

All right.

Motion is to proceed with the purchase.

Any discussion?

Mr.

Villasis.

What's uh what's the name brown of the camera that you guys do you guys have some of the equipment in mind that you guys are about to purchase or there aren't too many people that make those.

Um we're looking at continuing with Sony cameras.

This is Pete Johnson with uh National Educational TV.

Um for a couple of reasons it makes sense to go with them since our operators are all familiar with them and the menu systems that are on the cameras.

Uh we have also looked at um some canon cameras that would fit the bill as well.

And I guess there was one panasonic correct.

Yeah, yes.

Sorry.

Um we have never had a Panasonic camera in our our past, but uh and the other manufacturer has since gone out of business, which was uh JVC.

So we do have a uh JVC sports camera that allows us to broadcast uh from the camera directly uh from anywhere.

So any of the new cameras will be able to do that.

Um any of those three that we looked at, so they tend to run about uh five grand a piece.

So yeah, thank you.

And and the other camera literally broke in half.

So I guess we had tried to uh put a bag over it, and uh it looked like it might rain.

So we had the bag over it, and I guess a whi a gust of wind came, and one of the teachers came running in and said, uh, your camera just blew over, and we found it down about 10 steps uh from where it was at and uh literally in pieces.

So not too much we can do about that at the moment.

So and Dan Young National Community Media.

Um, to my knowledge, that's the first time we've yeah, we've uh that a piece of equipment over the years has drastically failed.

Yeah, thank you.

Any further discussion?

All right, all those in favor, aye, oppose motion passes.

All right, uh we'll move on to public comment.

Uh Dan Young, National Community Media.

Um as everyone knows this week we had the Nashville High North and Nashville High South graduations, um, which were really well attended uh through the help of the school department and other online um other social media channels.

Um the word was really the word was spread out that we were covering these events live.

And um the the South graduation um showed 838 views over 409 viewers, while the north graduation uh they they did a better job pushing it out, and that was 1212 views over 587 viewers.

Um between those two days we saw viewership from all across the country, um Puerto Rico, Colombia, um all through Central and South America, Taiwan, India, Guinea, France, Germany, Sylvania, Netherlands, and Brazil, just to name a few.

Um, with Columbia and Puerto Rico, it looks like that they're the largest viewership that had come in, and um it's very exciting to see that that people are people are watching, and I thank everyone for that.

I'd also like to thank our amazing crew that helped us get through both days.

Right, and then uh Pete Johnson again.

I'd just like to let folks know that those are only numbers for streaming through our streaming provider, so it does not count anything in Comcast where we don't get any data from them.

So thank you very much.

Okay, all right, remarks by the members.

Seeing none, is there a motion?

Motion to adjourn.

Motion is to adjourn.

Any discussion?

All those in favor?

Aye.

Nick, Tim Cummings.

I'm sorry, Mr.

Cummings.

Thank you.

I just want to make sure it's noted for the record that we're going into the FY27 budget.

Everything look like we are on plan, but FY28 is going to be uh difficult and problematic.

Make sure this body is aware of it.

And I would recommend that this body start to take some proactive measures should you want to change how you want to handle the FY28 budget.

And that noted for the record.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right.

Meetings adjourned at 8.56.

Thank you, everybody.
