Welcome
to the new Belmont
Media Center (BMC). BMC is a
local non-profit organization whose mission is to develop and promote
access
to electronic communications media. We
provide training, technology and transmission over three local access
TV channels (8, 9, 96 - on COMCAST & 28, 29, 30 on VERIZON) to the residents of Belmont. In the near future,
we expect to provide public access to digital media via the Internet
and by way of a truly interactive web site.
Because
of the modernization of much of the facilities & equipment
available for use by the public, including the installation of a
"digital playback center", we have begun to expand programs across all
channels ---
There is
an exciting future ahead in the continuing convergence of mass media,
computers and
communications that will affect our lives at home, at work, and at
play. We are seeking volunteers to help BMC grow and provide media
services for everyone. Please send an email to access@belmontmedia.org to receive
communications in the near future.
We
look
forward to hearing from you.

HOW TO FIND BMC:
If you are coming from the southeast
(Cambridge/Boston/Watertown)
Proceed from Fresh Pond Circle on Concord Ave towards
Belmont. In about 1/2 mile, you will see a sign welcoming you to
Belmont as you cross Blanchard Ave. In a short 3 blocks, look on the
right side for an old wooden sign marking the entrance to Belmont High
School. Turn right onto Underwood Ave - you can only turn right.
Proceed on Underwood - the pond will be on your left. As you come to a
stop sign turn left toward the high school. The pond will still be on
your left, the high school on your right. Drive past the main entrance
and keep driving almost all the way past the high school
and make a hard right turn
into the last parking lot on the far end of
the building. As you walk towards the doors, you will see the BMC logo
in our window. You are almost here. BMC is immediately inside the front
doors to the right.
If you are coming from the northeast (Arlington/Waltham):
First locate Concord Ave (which intersects Route 60/Pleasant Street)
and proceed south or towards Cambridge. As you pass the football field
on your left, you will soon see Clay Pit Pond on your left and,
depending upon the season, you will also see the high school on the far
side of the pond. Drive past the high school/pond until you reach Underwood Ave and turn left.
Proceed on Underwood - the pond will be on your left. As you come to a
stop sign, turn left toward the high school. The pond will still be on
your left, the high school on your right. Drive past the main entrance
and keep driving almost all the way past the high school
and make a hard right turn
into the last parking lot on the far end of
the building. As you walk towards the doors, you will see the BMC logo
in our window. You are almost here. BMC is immediately inside the front
doors to the right.
