Franklin TV: In the Swim - We’re treading water

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 02/08/2026

We cover many sports events. Included – swim meets. They are long. 3-4 hours. The resulting stats and rankings from the MIAA fill 14 pages.

A lesser known statistic – the emails and phone calls we get. They are many, and sometimes they’re laced with a slight tone of panic until we say, “Yes. we’ll be there.” It’s what we do.

We cover these events on our school channels – almost always live-streamed as well. You can watch for free on YouTube – for now.

However, consider that cord-cutting (dropping your cable service) also cuts our funding – and our future ability to say, “Yes, we’ll be there.”

You can help us stay afloat. Contact your MA legislators and tell them you want them to support legislation for local PEG TV funding by the streaming services.

And – as always –
Thank you for watching.
