50 Years of BCTV: Advancing Local Civic Engagement

50 Years of BCTV: Advancing Local Civic Engagement

BCTV connects citizens of Reading & Berks County to their local elected officials and information through discussions, forums, and live televised public meetings. With our longstanding partnership, The League of Women Voters of Berks County and BCTV have informed the public on voting issues, candidates running for public office, and other topics of interest to our community. Take a look back at the core of our civic engagement programming.

From the program: 50 Years of BCTV (1976 – 2026)

Thank you and your staff for all you do to accommodate so many different shows, personalities, etc.!  Can’t be easy, but we really do appreciate it.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
