IRS990/Desc0Production and Collaboration: RETN cablecasts Channel 16 on three cable systems that includes Comcast in Williston, Comcast in Shelburne, and Burlington Telecom in Burlington. In 2014, RETN aired 168 hours of programming per week on each of the three channels and produced more than 250 local programs with 5 full-time staff, 1 regular part-time staff, 14 as needed part-time employees, 20 interns and volunteers, 58 community organizational partners, 4 colleges, 1 university, and 36 K-12 schools in 11 school districts. Among these programs, RETN worked with a variety of community members - educational, non-profit and commercial businesses - to produce programs including information sessions in schools and public libraries, concerts by the Vermont Youth Orchestra and local bands on Rocket Shop Live with Big Heavy World, presentations from the Center for Research on Vermont at UVM, author readings and talks at the Burlington Book Festival and at Phoenix Books, and local school board meetings. Continuing collaboration with schools in Chittenden and Addison Counties include commencement ceremonies from all local high schools, events from Shelburne Community School and WIlliston Central School, showcases of student work from a number of middle schools, high schools and colleges, including films from the high school level 50-Hour Film Festival. These programs are provided on Channel 16 and as video-on-demand for the public at the RETN website. During 2014, a production by community producers with support from RETN, including our 3-credit graduate course, was recognized with a first-place national programming award by the Alliance for Community Media.
