JAM Exists to Empower the People
We are committed to promote free speech, civic engagement, artistic expression, and public dialog by enabling easy access to the expanding and ever-changing media world. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on filmmaking and audio equipment —there’s video equipment and a community here to support your work. Content you create can go on JAM’s cables and stream at uvjam.org. JAM shares locally created content regionally via NH & VT media exchanges and globally via YouTube.
DIY
Borrow Equipment
JAM has a complete suite of professional-grade production gear. You can reserve cameras, microphones, lighting kits, laptop computers, editing and postproduction suites, and more.
Podcasting
Listen here for Upper Valley voices. Got an idea for a podcast or audiobook of your own? Contact us here to learn how!
Submit your content
JAM invites you to share your video and/or audio content with local audiences via our cable television channels, streaming at uvjam.org, On-Demand, YouTube, and when possible, in our weekly newsletter.
