When Princeton Community Television holds its annual meeting on April 26, executive director George McCollough will have some encouraging programming news to report. The network’s roster of shows has grown in recent months, with local personalities and business owners taking on topics ranging from running a non-profit, to dating, to vegetarian cooking.

“We’ve had quite a spurt of new shows since the beginning of the year,” says Mr. McCollough. “I’m not sure why. But it keeps continuing. We have people waiting in the wings, with different subjects to offer.”

Operating since the early 1990’s and under non-profit status since 2008, Princeton Community Television works out of spartan studios in the Valley Road School building. The station was originally supposed to move out next month, but the Princeton Board of Education, which owns the building, has determined that no further action will be taken on agencies in the building [Princeton Community TV and Corner House] until January, when consolidation goes into effect.

As he considers the network’s future, Mr. McCollough has plenty in the present to keep him busy. Most of the people who approach him with an idea for a show are novices, so he and his staff have to take them through the steps of producing a program. “None of these people have ever done television before,” he says. “It’s exciting, actually. They come at it with a fresh perspective. Our purpose is to teach them how to make their own media. The goal is for people to learn how to do these shows on their own.”

Creating a show costs only a $20 annual membership fee. Recent additions to the schedule include “Asian Times TV,” “Easy Vegetarian Cooking,” “Skyrocket Your Business,” “Education Round Table,” “Non-Profit NJ,” “Reed & Ponder,” “Side-B TV,” and “The Kari Adams Show.” The latter, which is focused on dating, relationships, and being single in Princeton, has time slots Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. and Thursdays at 11 a.m. On her first show, Ms. Adams, who is the CEO and founder of Princeton Elite Club, interviewed a woman whose online dating led to marriage.

“Doing this show opens up a whole new avenue for me,” Ms. Adams says. “I think this is a great way to make people aware of what we’re doing, and George and his staff have been so helpful. It’s a lot of fun.”

David Gray hosts “Non-Profit NJ,” currently airing Thursdays at 7 p.m., Fridays at 10:30 a.m., and Sundays at 9 p.m. Mr. Gray is a former non-profit executive, a writer, and financial advisor. The program is a co-production of Princeton Community TV; ArtPride NJ, and Finance Arts, LLC, which is Mr. Gray’s company.

“It was shocking to find this fantastic resource right here in Princeton,” he says. “It basically costs me nothing to have a TV show and hopefully create something that is going to be of value and of service to lots of people.”

Mr. Gray’s first show featured an interview with Nancy Kieling, president of the Princeton Area Community Foundation. Future shows will include discussions with Ofelia Garcia, the new director of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, and Christopher J. Paladino, president of the New Brunswick Development Corporation. “The real value of this to me is that on line, it will create a library of these interviews,” Mr. Gray says. “Princeton TV is helping create this great library of resources of all these great minds. And on my own website, people can interact and send me questions, so we can actually get a dialogue going.”

Mr. McCollough sees Princeton Community TV as “… an open forum for people who can’t afford to get on public TV,” he says, “geared toward residents of the Princeton area and non-profits.” Ideally, the station would produce 24-hour-a-day programming by New Jersey residents.

“You just go down to the studio, and George works it out,” says Mr. Gray. “It’s very simple to get things done. He has a lot of folks starting new shows at the same time, and it’s a great atmosphere.”

Mr. McCollough sums it up: “We’re a teaching facility and also a community center,” he says. “People come here and learn, but they also meet each other and become part of a community. If you do a program at home and post a video online, it’s just not the same. You’re alone.”

Mr. McCollough invites all members of Princeton Community TV and potential members to the annual meeting, which is April 26 at 7 p.m.
