The Public Access Center is located on Plains Road in Hollis.  In December of 2020 the production facility was upgraded extensively to address current and future technology needs.  The Public Access Center operates under a fifteen year contract signed in 2014.

Limerick's Public Access TV is 100% funded through franchise fees.  Limerick citizens voted to use 70% of this revenue stream for operations.  The 30% balance is for technology capital needs in Limerick.

In 2024 Limerick's equipment was upgraded to a new state of the art system.  The backup system at the Brick Town Hall was removed.  A public address system remains there.    The Cable and Livestream signal is managed by SRC-TV in Hollis, Maine

Selectmen, Budget, Planning, and Zoning Appeals Meetings are all broadcast on Spectrum Cable TV channel 5.  R.S.U. 57 School Board meetings in Waterboro are cablecasted.  All of Limerick's special town meetings and public hearings are also cablecasted on channel 5.  All meetings are Livestreamed via the Internet and are also accessible at SRC-TV.org, 

ROLE OF A TOWN REPRESENTATIVE

ON BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SRC-Media's online media presence and local cable access channels are designed to help facilitate the exchange of news and information in Limerick. The director representing Limerick will help oversee station operations and assist with the formulation of the annual budget.

Board membership also calls for keeping the selectboard informed of station policies as well as overall mission support.

Ideally, the person chosen for this role will work constructively with station staff to facilitate local event coverage, produce public service

announcements, informative short films, and business profiles of relevance to the citizens of Limerick.  

The Brick Town Hall was upgraded to a dedicated internet line with a speed of 100x100 in late December 2020.  We often receive concerns about viewer reception when we are live streaming meetings.  A dedicated internet line with a speed of 100x100 should be online at the Municipal Building in May or 2024 for live streaming.

Limerick offers two public Computer Access points with wireless access speeds of 100x100 or higher.  They are located on Washington Street at the Library in the Municipal Building and on Main Street at the Brick Town Hall.  The access is free and accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

The Library in the Municipal Building on Washington Street has posted hours where there are computers available for personal use.

CONNECTME collects and publishes information about town's Broadband status in Maine towns.

Service defined as UNDERSERVED is 25x3 Download and Upload speeds.  UNSERVED is no service available.

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.
