Franklin TV: "we (and our volunteers) created $1,766,464 of 'stuff' !!!

It’s where the magic happens.

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 05/24/2026

Srsly? Yep. The success (or failure) of any business relies on accurate information that comes from the back office – accounting data. How much ‘stuff’ did you sell? How much did it (really) cost you? Where’s your profit? Truth in numbers.

we (and our volunteers) created $1,766,464

The above summary sheet is one of a few Excel worksheets that, together, divine the actual value of our work – our social worth – as a community organization.

If there’s anything that we could consider our ‘report card’, this spreadsheet is it. 

Although we are a nonprofit 501(c)3 charitable organization, we strive to measure what we produce in terms of its value – it’s actual market (street) value. Each year we attach commercial market rates to all that we do, item by item. If we didn’t exist, this is what folks would have to pay a business for our programming efforts.

What does it mean? In cell R2 we (and our volunteers) created $1,766,464 of ‘stuff’.

Our annual cable carrier funding is only $560,000. (and falling) – yet we persist.

Persisting. Producing. Prevailing. It’s what we do. It’s there – in the numbers.

And – as always –

Thank you for watching.

Landry, Mason schedule TV show about the building at the Depot Plaza on May 20 at 1 PM

Via Joe Landry:

"Hi there! 

Scott Mason and I will be doing a presentation at the studios of Franklin TV at 23 Hutchinson Street when we will examine the three buildings that make up today's Depot Plaza on Main Street. 

This is the block where J. J. Newberry and W. T. Grant did business for many years. And there have been others too that we will discuss. We'll also look at the buildings that stood there before the plaza was developed. It is sure to bring back many memories for long-time Franklin residents.

This program will have a live studio audience and will not be broadcast live. Instead, it will be taped for future viewing on Franklin TV.

I hope you can make it! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!!!!!

Wednesday,  May 20 at 1 PM

We hope you can make it!!!"

Franklin TV: Impact!

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 05/10/2026 

It has begun. The erosion of community media is happening – and accelerating – in zip codes here and there – in cities and towns great and small (especially small.) It’s pernicious march is on the move across Massachusetts and many other states. Community Media Centers are working harder than ever to improve and expand their local services while facing shrinking budgets due to cable cord-cutting.

Some services are mandated by state law. Some by federal law. We are obligated by the state to cover local government meetings. Next year we’ll also be required by the FCC to add closed caption services to our programming. These and all the other programs we offer are services for which there are no public funds. We’re supported by cable company access fees. As our working budget shrinks we will eventually be forced to do less work – to reduce our level of service – somehow.

Some community media facilities are already downsizing their studios and staff – or merging with other media centers, or worse – closing. Some are seeking additional financial support from towns whose tax bases are already stretched and struggling to maintain municipal infrastructure and services.

Hadley, MA, an idyllic town with around 5,300 residents, just held its annal town meeting where citizens had to consider and vote on a range of tax override options from painful to very painful. Yet, they approved $40 thousand dollars as a one-year stipend to support Hadley Media. That’s about $8 dollars per capita for annual community media support – voted by a wide majority with little dissent. That’s one for the win column – for now.

Belmont Media is moving – distributing their facility footprint to a smaller space in the town’s new library – and to the middle school and high school – and selling off much of their studio equipment. It’s a smart reconfiguration that will help them maintain services where most relevant.

Here in Franklin we’ve long prepared for this difficult time of deficit spending. We’re working every dollar we have, continuing to actually expand our services while carefully managing our operational spend and cash reserves. Our positive impact on Franklin remains as strong as ever – while we also brace for impact.

And – as always –

Thank you for watching.

Upcoming "in-studio" taping of "Once Upon A Town" on May 20th at noon

Via Joe Landry:

"Just a quick note to tell you that Scott mason and I will be highlighting the three buildings that make up "Depot Plaza" on Main Street for our upcoming taping session on May 20th at noon. 

Many long-time residents of Franklin have memories of the stores that were there, including J. J. Newberry, W. T. Grant, etc. and I think this will be a good one for people to attend. I'll post something on Facebook that will announce this presentation so that people will know about it. 

Moving forward, Scott and I are hoping that we can tape future programs in the early evening instead of the middle of the day. Hopefully, this will attract a larger audience as most people work and can't come to the noon presentations. "

Thanks,

Joe
