LRPA TV looks to give public broadcasting biz model a try By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Lakes Region Public Access television will have a new look in the future — based on the Public Broadcasting model, relying on sponsorships, grants and even membership dues, rather than

fees assessed for each member community. Dale Eddy of Gilford, a member of the board of directors of LRPA, last night described the new model as fee for service and said it will greatly reduce the fees paid by member communities, many of whom have

opted to handle their own videotaping of public meetings. Eddy said the board is grappling with a number of changes, including those being negotiated in a new 10-year contract with MetroCast Cablevision, which will include a direct public access channel for each community. The

new contract will go into effect in January of 2014. LRPA is the public, educational and government (PEG) cable station serving central New Hampshire broadcast by MetroCast on channels 24, 25 and 26. It is a nonprofit see TV page 11
