Provincetown’s Award Winning Community Media Center
Dear Friend,
When I turn on my TV and see the great work that Provincetown Community Television is doing, I stop and think, “Wow, I’m fortunate to live in a community that values community media!” My name is Bob, and I’ve been on the Board of Provincetown Community Television (PTV) for ten years and the President of the Board for eight years. Why am I lucky to be a part of this organization? Let me tell you.
PTV is about free and unfettered access to information you need about our local government; to equipment and training to tell and share your own stories; to unbiased knowledge and truth. We provide opportunities for you to have a voice in local media and to engage in the civic life of Provincetown through government transparency. And in these fraught times, your access is more important than ever.
I believe in this mission, that’s why I’m lucky to serve on the PTV Board. But I need your help. Did you know that PTV receives no government funding? It’s true! PTV is not a government agency. We provide unfiltered coverage of Provincetown government on Comcast Channels 18, as well as remote access and archived content, as a public service. PTV is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded by subsidies from local Comcast television subscriptions and from local donations and sponsorships. We are not funded by homeowners’ taxes nor by the Town of Provincetown, but we serve YOU, the people of Provincetown. This is why we need your help today!
Our studio is open to anyone who lives or spends time in Provincetown, who first takes a class on how to use our equipment and technology platforms to create and share videos. Most people who take classes at PTV receive scholarship funding. It’s vital that we never turn anyone away for financial reasons. You can help us to keep that going so that anyone who wants to tell stories through video has access.
Funding from Comcast fees is simply not enough to cover the costs of scholarship funds and the constant need for technology and equipment maintenance and replacement. We need your support to continue providing access to everyone in our unique, wonderful community. We need your help to continue sharing the unbiased information you need. We need you!
You can make a tax-deductible gift today by visiting provincetowntv.org or by mailing a check to:
Provincetown Community Television
330 Commercial Street
Provincetown, MA 02657
I’m lucky to be here because I believe in PTV’s commitment to access for all. Please join me.
With gratitude,
Bob Klytta
President, Board of Directors
Provincetown Community Television
P.S. You can help keep free and unfettered access going for everyone in Provincetown! Please send your generous gift today. Thank you!

Community Media gives people the skills and tools to tell their own story.
“PTV helped me to discover a new talent. I am looking forward to doing more things with them next summer. Vive le PTV.”
- Hussein Wentz, PTV Volunteer Producer
PTV has a story to tell.
It is the story of Provincetown, whether experiencing a sleepy winter chill at an East End beach or a crowded summer stroll at the Breakwater.
It is the story of local artists told by their friends and neighbors. It is the story of the community coming together as one voice to cheer our triumphs and protest threats to values we hold dear.
Throughout the year PTV works with individuals, town government and nonprofits to help them reach out to the community through our two cable television channels, social media, and our web-based on-demand libraries.
“Collaboration is essential among non-profits and PAAM is incredibly grateful for our partnership with PTV. PTV provides essential support for our Fredi Schiff Lecture Series and our annual Gala. It is a true pleasure to work with the PTV team.”
- Christine McCarthy, Executive Director, PAAM
