Locality!

Prince George’s County, Maryland, is known for its rich history, diverse culture, and proximity to Washington, D.C.. It’s the most populous African American-majority county in the U.S. and is recognized as a center for arts, entertainment, and higher education, particularly with the University of Maryland, College Park. The county also boasts significant historical sites like Belair Mansion (Bowie), Riversdale House Museum, and the National Colonial Farm

Bowie has grown from a small railroad stop to the largest municipality in Prince George’s County, and the fifth most populous and third-largest city by area in the state of Maryland. In 2014, CNN Money ranked Bowie 28th on its Best Places to Live in America list.

Please keep in mind that BCMC is here to serve the public, as we want to engage in and empower greater citizen participation in the process of producing quality local television programming and media content. BCMC serves as a one-stop community outreach and information resource utilized and watched by many  throughout Bowie and Prince George’s county. From educational programs to health-related series, candidate debates, or even coverage of local parades, BCMC has clearly demonstrated our support for our local content producers and viewers. We are here to serve the public, and we want to engage and empower greater citizen participation in the process of producing local television programming and media content.

Local content production has nearly all the same technical needs and requirements as our commercial counterparts. Our services are strictly non-profit. Our budgetary challenges are much greater than those of commercial television, as we must train and equip staff all qualified residents who want to produce television and media content programming.

The size and budgetary abilities of Community Access operations across the country vary, and since the late 1990s, BCMC has managed to provide the best possible service with the resources available. A daunting task on severely limited funds. While traditional methods of funding Public Access exist, such as government grants, additional financial support for BCMC is needed.

Investing in Public Access is simply re-investing in your community and helping provide the opportunity for greater achievement for all.

Call (301.814.3057) or e-mail (info@bcmctv.org) to discuss sponsorship options.

Thank you for your interest in BCMC.
