Part-Time Cable Television Public Access Studio Coordinator Service

The City of Albany, New York, is seeking a vendor to provide part-time cable television public access studio coordinator services. The agency needs to ensure that its public access studio operates according to a regular, publicly available, and advertised schedule to maximize community access. This initiative aims to solve the challenge of managing studio scheduling, equipment tracking, and public programming transmission. The scope of work covers coordinating with Open Stage Media to ensure the receipt of transmissions for production via fiber link. The selected coordinator must consult on the best methods of transmission of programming from the hall and public studio to Open Stage Media. Additional duties include maintaining a database for facility and equipment scheduling, assisting producers in pre-production, and developing guidelines for collecting tapes from the public. The coordinator must also monitor equipment, maintain programming records, and conduct community outreach. The agency requires the performance of all work to be onsite in Albany, New York. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. Bidders may submit their proposals either digitally via email or online, or physically via courier or post. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget for this project. The contract period will run for a duration of two years. The source document does not specify further evaluation criteria or key dates.
