Volunteer Opportunities

It's summertime and we are open! If you are interested in producing your own show or you're already a volunteer and ready to get back in the studio, please contact mtorchia@moontwp.us. Be sure to stop in too if you have yet to see the new studio!

Don't Forget

Do you have an idea for a show, or has it been a while since you have used one of our cameras and you would like some practice? You can contact MCA-TV Assistant Director Morgan at mtorchia@moontwp.us or call 412.269.1191 and schedule a time to come in and we will go over things with you again!

Don't forget, you can also reserve the equipment to practice at home so you can get familiar with using it outside of the studio. If you are interested, contact Morgan today to find out more!

Produce a New Show Today

Do you have an idea for a new show? MCA-TV is always looking for new content!

Producing a show is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. Pitch your show idea to Allison Ford

2. Schedule a production date

3. Watch your show on MCA-TV

The rules are pretty simple, any Moon resident can produce a show, or non-residents can work with a community producer to sign off on their production and help gather volunteers!

What is a community producer, you ask?

A community producer is a Moon Township resident that has gone through our production course.

If you are not a community producer, we can help pair you up with one! We currently have about 15 active community producers ready to help you get your show on the road! The process is easy! Just contact Allison Ford at aeastham@moontwp.us with information about your idea and you are on your way!

As we continue to navigate through these uncertain times, we are open to film at MCA-TV. We welcome all producers to schedule shows and new producers to start programs. Please call or email to set up a time to come so we can ensure we do not have too many people in the studio at once.

All measures are being taken to practice social distancing between employees and volunteers in the studio. Specifically, it is recommended that you stay at least 6 feet away from others and avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. There will be alcohol-based sanitizers available so everyone can wash their hands frequently. If you are sick, we ask that you stay home for the safety of everyone until you are better.

As always, you are welcome to reserve equipment from the studio to film as well. Just email us to reserve the equipment so we can ensure it is ready for you.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we all worked through this reopening process. Our highest priority is the health and well-being of everyone in the MCA-TV family and our community. We will continue to monitor the evolving situation and keep you updated as changes occur.
