Production

Eastlink Community TV shows are produced by crews composed of both television professionals and community volunteers. Some programs, such as live sports events or ''Eastlink Magazine'', will generally have more volunteers on crew than Eastlink Community TV employees. Providing training and opportunities for volunteers is both a duty under the terms of Eastlink's cable license, and an opportunity to produce a wider range of programming than would otherwise be possible.
