Transition Years 2007–2012

Boston Neighborhood Network Dear Friends

“As I approach 3025 Washington Street to go to work, I picture this scene years ago when the Orange Line was running—tracks high above the street, the train rattling out of Egleston Station past a grand old building that looked like a church on the outside, but on the inside housed massive converters to power the trains,” reflects Curtis Henderson, BNN General Manager. This imposing edifice, vital to the community since 1909, was left vacant when the elevated train tracks were torn down and created a stain on the neighborhood.

But today we are part of something different—a beautifully rehabilitated building that has preserved its architectural integrity and brought it into the 21st century with green technology—a building alive with learning, creating and sharing—BNN’s home, the Charles J. Beard II Media Center. Youth and seniors and everyone in between, from every corner of the city, use this state-of-the art media center to learn the latest communications technology and to create TV program- ming they share on our channels and on our website. Our mobile production truck, parked in our backyard, cruises the city covering events in every community Board of Directors and our satellite dish on the roof of the building brings down programming of interest to Bostonians. Boston Neighborhood Network News celebrated its 25th year FY 2007 – 2012 on BNN’s News and Information channel and is going stronger than ever, with web-streamed programs and a dynamic companion website.

Kenan Bigby It took hard work, dedication and perseverance from people who care about the revitalization of a neighborhood, who care about bridging the digital divide and who care about preserving our first amendment rights to complete this project and we thank them all: our Board of Directors, staff, members, partners, supporters, col- Reebee Garofalo laborators and funders. Particular recognition goes to our Board presidents who led us through this time of change. Art Singer began the process of consolidating Scherazade King our operations, discovering this vacant MBTA building and forming a partnership with Urban Edge; DeWayne Lehman picked up the mantle, establishing a fund- raising campaign and getting us into our new building; and Glenn Williams adapting our governance and operational strategies as we settled into our new home. Lance Kyed

We are grateful for the extensive broad-based support we received for our capital campaign from all sectors of the community including generous individuals, city, DeWayne Lehman, Pres. state and federal governments, foundations and corporate donors. We especially appreciate the unwavering support from Mayor Thomas Menino, City of Boston

Justin A. Petty and Michael Lynch, Director of the Office of Cable and Technology.

Lisa Pollack In this report we share some highlights from this chapter of BNN’s history—the rehabilitation of our building, our transition to digital, our efforts to close the digital divide, and our increased programming efforts. But we are not resting on our laurels. Under the direction of Justin Petty, our current Board president, the Sarah-Ann Shaw board and staff have begun work on a five-year strategic plan that will position us to better serve individuals and nonprofit organizations.

Glenn Williams, Pres. Now as we ride down Washington Street we no longer look down from the train at the Power Station, but we look up to the BNN sign with pride, knowing inside this building people are telling their stories, asking questions and getting information—and that’s power!

2 The BNN Charles J. Beard II Media Center

In 2005 BNN and Urban Edge purchased the former MBTA Power Station in Egleston Square. This imposing historic structure built in 1909 to convert power for the elevated transit line sat vacant for 20 years in disrepair. We gathered a team of designers, engineers and construction contractors to rehabili- tate the building for our use, while keeping its historic integrity. We restored the building façade to its original beauty, while the interior design is state-of-the-art modern – with glimpses of its past use.

In 2006 we launched a $2.8 million capital campaign to help cover costs needed for construction and equipment. Our rehabilitation efforts began in earnest in 2007, removing the old machinery and building a new, ‘green’ media center, with a geothermal heating and cooling system.

While this work was happening our staff and community producers were continuing the work of making television and preparing to close our existing centers and consolidate our operations for the move to our new home—a mammoth task!

Since we began operations in our new home in November 2007, we’ve welcomed 44,000 visitors to share their perspectives and strengthen our understanding of each other, our city, and our world. Transition Years 2007–2012

4 Retooling and Training

Technology has changed dramatically and BNN has changed with it. In the past six years we completed our transition from analog to digital—from cameras to editing to playback. Our new facility, mobile production truck and our NNN Since FY’06 studio are now equipped with the latest technology tools and BNN’s Timothy Smith Network Media Lab is equipped we have doubled the number of shows with up-to-date hardware and software. Our production process is streamlined with digital tapeless recording making it easier to edit and programs can be delivered electronically from anywhere. And it’s ‘green’—less plastic and fewer cars produced in the studio for Community TV! driving to BNN to drop off programs!

Both staff and producers are going digital too—updating their skills and using new technology to create high quality programs. Our educational offerings include workshops on the latest software to enhance both video and audio.

Not only have we updated our technology tools to create media but we updated our digital infrastructure with a robust open source content management platform increasing efficiency. And viewership is increasing beyond the local cable audience with web streaming and Video on Demand.

We can now cablecast live from Emerson College, White Stadium, and the Strand Theatre bringing our audience sports events and entertainment as they are happening. A digital satellite system give us more content options and our new and improved Community Message Board system keeps Bostonians informed about what’s happening in the City.

Bridging the Digital Divide BNN invites everyone to join the technology revolution by gathering people at the cutting edge of the field to demystify social networking, hosting a daylong Technology 2.0 Conference and a networking breakfast highlighting best practices for non-profits.

We are a successful teaching site for two innovative programs for families and seniors. Tech Goes Home offers residents the ability to improve their quality of life as new members of the online community. Online Learning Readiness (OLLR) helps residents become independent learners, acquire technology skills and prepare to enter the workforce.

We continue to produce Talk of the Neighborhoods, a weekly roundtable discussion focusing on Boston politics, including election night coverage and analysis of local races. BNN also covers political forums, debates and rallies giving people the information they need to make important election decisions. BNN’s mobile My Neighborhood Boston is an example of a production services collaboration bringing exciting information to production Bostonians. The series takes us into six Boston communities to learn about The Boston Foundation’s strategies on health and fitness, cultural vibrancy, education, workforce development, violence, and transportation. truck shoots have more than doubled In 2011 BNN secured a contract with Comcast to fulfill their local origination obligation to the city and began production of two series. since FY ’06.

Boston Profiles is an intimate and candid conversation with some of Boston’s most effective and influential, yet unsung citizens. Boston Profiles won 2012 Best Informational Talk Show, Hometown Media Award.

Around Town, a weekly magazine-format program, covers events in every neighborhood in the city. You may see the Ducklings Day Parade at the Boston Public Garden, a history of tap dancing at the Kennedy Library, a neighborhood tour led by a Jamaica Plain Historical Society guide, or the Japanese Spring Festival in Copley Square. Around Town reflects the rich diversity of this vibrant city and we share it on BNN’s News and Information channel.

BNN’s production services teams have produced nearly 200 programs in FY ’12. 8 BNN Youth
