MIAMI VALLEY COMMUNICATIONS COUNCIL
This year, MVCC will be covering the SW District OHSAA High School Golf Tournament, held at Heatherwoode Golf Club in Springboro on October 3-5 and 12&13. Both boys and girls will be shown live on The city of Springboro’s Youtube page.
MVCC will highlight the action at both 1 and 10 tees, and 9 and 18 greens. A jumbotron screen will share the action with spectators while a professional golfer and announcer narrate the action.
Special thanks to Heatherwoode’s staff and volunteers, The City of Springboro and the event sponsors for helping make this possible. Winners of the District matches will advance to the State Tournament.
History
Miami Valley Communications Council is a municipal communications and technology organization representing the eight member cities of Centerville, Germantown, Kettering, Miamisburg, Moraine, Oakwood, Springboro and West Carrollton. The council also has affiliate agreements with other Miami Valley cities. MVCC was formed in 1975 as a council of governments to monitor, regulate, and administer common cable television franchise agreements, manage the operation of the council's cable access television channels, and develop and implement intergovernmental projects designed to strengthen communications between member cities and their citizens. A policy-making body consisting of delegates representing member cities governs the council.
Funding
MVCC is funded through franchise fees paid by the cable service provider. Franchise fees are rent that the cable company pays for placing its wires over or under the public rights-of-way (streets.) MVCC uses these franchise fees to support its community access television activities, cooperative intergovernmental projects, and to explore new and changing technologies that will benefit member communities. The council, in turn, provides many services to our communities at little or no cost.
