The governing boards of the Tri-Town met jointly on Tuesday, July 13 to discuss the renegotiation of the contract between the towns and ORCTV, the local access channel that provides video coverage of town meetings and other events.
The agreement provides funding to ORCTV generated through fees paid by cable companies like Verizon and Comcast to the towns.
The contract expired in 2014 and has not since been renegotiated.
“We all have a vested interest in making sure this moves forward,” said Mattapoisett Select Board member Jordan Collyer.
