In 2011, PPMtv moved into the old South End Meeting House, creatively renovating the historic community space into a studio, control room, editing facilities, and office space. On December 5, 2011, PPMtv broadcast its first test programming, a series of 3 films from local directors.
In February 2012, PPMtv began working with Portsmouth High School students to produce the Clipper News Report and in March of that same year, PPMtv began broadcasting original member-produced programming.
In 2013, PPMtv expanded its facilities and its programming, added a live stream to its website, and held its first live audience production – Holiday LIVE.
Today, PPMtv is governed by a nine member board of directors and managed by Executive Director, Chad Cordner, with two part-time staff. It airs on Comcast Channel 6 and is streaming live. You can also find us on YouTube.
Recently, our studios moved over to the Fox Run Mall in Newington, which has updated our ability to share content with new stages, editing rooms, and podcast bays. Our mission is to make the sharing of local news, views, information, arts and entertainment readily accessible to residents, nonprofits, and business organizations of the greater Portsmouth area.
