Cable Television Advisory Committee Meeting Apr 10, 2026

The Town of Amherst Cable Television Advisory Committee convened on April 10, 2026, to discuss the ascertainment process for their cable television license renewal. Key procurement-related topics included planning a required public hearing to assess the cable operator's compliance and community needs, scheduling the hearing before the summer to maximize participation, and developing a community survey to gather input on cable services and equipment needs. The committee emphasized the importance of public engagement, including outreach through various media channels and consideration of survey design and analysis methods. They also discussed coordinating with Ammeris Media and the town for survey distribution and public hearing logistics. No contract awards or vendor selections were made, but the meeting focused on preparatory steps for upcoming negotiations and community feedback collection.
