Program
Wctv live broadcasts all selectboard, school committee, finance committee, annual and special related meetings throughout the year. These meetings are live broadcast on our verizon and comcast channels, and also streamed online, and also rebroadcast and archived. Wctv must set-up broadcast equipment, microphones, etc., and break them down before and after each meeting. Wctv does not receive payment for any municipal meeting coverage, but it is a stipulation and condition for receiving franchise fees our funding from verizon and comcast through the town of wilmington.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $998k to $1.4M (+38%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
79% of WILMINGTON COMMUNITY TELEVISION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
