Public access TV
LOCAL GOVERNANCE
Limerick Public Access Operations is under the governance of the Selectboard. The Board oversees the budget, staffing, infrastructure and policies required.
Limerick's Public Access TV is 100% funded through franchise fees. Limerick citizens voted to use 30% of this revenue stream for technology capital needs, with the remaining funds for Public Access operations.
In 2024 Limerick's equipment was upgraded to a new state of the art system. The backup system at the Brick Town Hall was decommissioned and the new system installed in the Municipal Building. A public address system remains at the Brick Town Hall.
The Spectrum Cable broadcast, Spectrum TV and YouTube.com livestream signals are managed by SRC-TV in Hollis, Maine. This ensures widespread accessibility for local municipal meetings and important announcements.
Archived recordings since April 2, 2024 are available at YOUtube.com (Town of Limerick ME) under LIVE or VIDEOS for anyone who may have missed the live broadcast or wishes to review past events. Spectrum Channel 5 also replays recent meetings on a set schedule.
Selectmen, Budget, Planning, and Zoning Board of Appeals, Public Informational, and Special Town meetings are all broadcasted. R.S.U. 57 School Board meetings in Waterboro are broadcasted.

Speedtests
Latency is the length of time it takes for data to travel to its destination and return to its source. Speed test applications display the results in milliseconds. The lower this number is, the better. Pings under 75 milliseconds are considered very good. Speeds over 200 milliseconds are considered poor.

Download speed refers to how quickly your connection can retrieve data from a website or server online. Almost all activities require a certain amount of download speed, so this is the main number you’ll want to pay attention to when deciding how much internet speed you need. Streaming multiple TV shows or movies at the same time (especially 4K media) and downloading large files are both examples of activities that require higher download speeds than average.
