MCTV welcomes student-age groups and other organizations to visit the station. The following outline explains our philosophy and policies.

As a community entity, Methuen Community Television will schedule tours of the facilities to educate people about television media and technology. The tours are free to Methuen-based groups. Due to the nature of the information presented and the amount of expensive equipment on the premises, tours can not be scheduled for groups with children under the age of 9 years.

TOUR SCHEDULING

A tour is scheduled over the telephone with a staff member of MCTV. The tour will be set for a time that does not interfere with any other scheduled activity.

The contact person for the group must leave a name, address and phone number for a copy of this policy will be forwarded. Tours will be confirmed a few days ahead of the scheduled date. Anyone wishing to cancel or reschedule a tour is to call the studio prior to the scheduled date. No shows will only be rescheduled at the convenience of the MCTV staff.

TOUR RULES

1. Groups with children will include adult chaperones. Children can not be dropped off and picked up later.

2. Groups are to arrive on time and not disrupt any work being done in the offices or edit rooms. Early or late admissions may not be able to be accommodated.

3. An MCTV staff member or intern will be conducting the tour. Groups will adhere to any restrictions that are set.

4. Groups will refrain from touching of any equipment unless invited to do so by the tour leader.

5. Only animals assisting the disabled are allowed on the premises. Please notify MCTV if this situation applies to your group.

We hope that a tour at MCTV will be a positive experience.
